instead of the ostentatious bouquets of the
past year. and even the centerpiece is NOT
the immense. costly article it used to be.
A dozen or so roses, interspersed with
feathery ferns, or a glass bowl of pansies,
lor AZ viz isaI wit
green moss, are the extent of ornamental

SONS are tastefully scattered over the
table wherever there is not dish or

The dinner itself is not the sumptuous
affair it used to be. The edict has gone
forth in London, and a good one ii is, too.
that dinner parties during the season shall
not consume over an hour. 1t is one thing

any occulist or physician knows. An over

workers in particular should keep their
eyes in the best possible condition and
