Loving CUPS for Flowers.

There seems 10 be q yeritaele craze for
loving cups. Not only for presen tstion
occasions are they used. but their form is
SO good that they are being put TO service
of various sorts. The latest development
IS the flower holder Of Bohemian glass, and
very exquisite il is.
As matter Of course, il assumes all
tints. The characteristic Of the lovely
material is its beauty and variety of color,
and this newest shape is shown in all It's
tender hues that are so tempting. Gold
iraeerv makes the decoration, and the cups
SO become sufficiently attractive 10 be their
own reason for being.
The tall, slender, long-stemmed rose
holders must always keep their place, for
nothing shows the exquisite charm of the
rose nearly so well. But the great adYau-
fege of The loving cup lies in its being a
charming objec. whether flied OF untitled,
The taller, more slender vases are so sug-
gestive OF their use as 10 seem incomplete
without the roses, for which they appear
TO wait. The loving cups, on the other
hand, have intrinsic beauty Of form, and
when that is united To beauty of color the
object needs no evidence of use to make il
desirable.
