the entire bouquet is after the conventional
order.
The debutante, if she is at all popular.
has half a hundred bouquets. But you
MAJ be sure that she has her eye upon
one which she fancies more than any OF
the others. and by and by she will pick it
up and carry il for the rest of the evening
TO the exclusion of the others. Ii is AL
ways the bouquet of white orchids and
white lilies which is chosen. To yass to

Tor funerals the palm Is the accepted OF
ierlng. although a much greater latitude rs
allowed al funerals than formerly. At
Jay Gou,d's funeral there was a greater
variety than At any social gathering OF the
season. Mrs. August Belmont had like
wise many exquisite floral pieces. The
Eothschids are.in the habit of cabling over
orders FOR floral pieces. and, indeed, il IS
not unusual To receive half Il dozen cable
orders Tor any large New York event,
especially a funeral While the palm IS
the accepted tribute for funeral, there is
n0rai piece known as the mat" which
is as s rod form rs anything that can be
sent. This consists OF many great punches
OF dowes just as they are brought ont of
The vases of cool room. They are dropped
IN armiuis and are fastened 10 the mat
foundation wherever they happen to lie,
