must leave the ships. Kidnapping out

Artistic New Table Ware.

The newest center pieces are of old Dutch
silver, with branches of three candclabra at
either end. They are not more than from
10 to II inches in height. The branches
spring from the base of the central candle
stick, and the silver is oNidizcd to give it
the hue of antique silver. When supplied
with shaded candles, they light the table
very effectively without being unpleasant
to the eyes, says the New York Herald.
which also notes the following novelties:
Dresden china tea bells are by no means
as expensive as cut glass or as durable as
silver, but they are dainty, quaint and eff
fectvc.
Bone dishes are no longer considered sill
pcrtiuous and are shown in many charming
shapes and novel decorations.
Fancy china toast racks are certainly less
serviccablc than silver ones, but they are
quaint and dainty additions to the break
fast table and are fast gaining in favor.
1t took the fashionable rose bowl to
prove it to the many that nature and art
cannot be placed in juXtaposition. And so
I is that the most expressive and elegant
and painted iardnicrcs are fast being
-wdcd out by cut glass ones, which come
in many graceful shapes, with silver rim
and recommendation.

FeAsTINe AND FLOWERS.

How to Decorate For Dinner, Tea Party,
After Theater supper or Dance.
TABLE decoration i'll Il general way sur
passes anything heretofore brought out As
dinner giving becomes more and more fash-
lonaoie there is increasing beauty of the
floral arrangements and the sight of per-
fectly well appointed table with artistic
treatment of flowers greatly adds to the en-
Joymcnt of the entertainments The object
attained by the present style is to produce
double effcct-the flowers rise above tho
line of vision and also lie in profusion on
the cloth In natural clusters
Tea parties Systematically arranged and
horaily decorated are quite the thing.
Field flower decoration is much admired
for these, and poppics, cornfowcrs, mar
gueritcs, goldcnrod, etc, i'll their seasons,
afford charming effects, which are greatly
enhanced by the use of exquisite glass vases
and bowls. The fact that this comfortable
meal takes place in broad daylight is i'll it,
self highly favorable, us it allows of using
many flowers and shades which are incom-
patible with artificial light.
A useful form of decoration for late sup
pers consists in having the large fancy bas-
kets filled with growing plants, and il huge
bunch of roses on the handle. The roses
can then be used in vases the next day,
while the plants left in the basket will do
duty for other occasions.
For bathrooms hardy flowers that can
not only be depended upon to last through
out the entertainment, but can even be of
use the next day, are special feature some
what to the exclusion of maidenhair and
all other quickly fading foliage and flowers.
