Backgrounds For Flowers.

According to The Art Amateur, it
is important in flower composition
that the background should either har-
monte with or offer contrast to the
dominant note of color. A bunch of vio-
let's, for instance, will look we'll on "a
ground Of duller violet gray, which is
in harmony with it, or on ground Of
yellow, which is contrast. 1t will do
we'll Oh brown, which is also in con-
trast with both the leaves and the flow
ers, and makes their colors look bright
or, but hardly on red, which robs the
flowers of their color and makes them
look almost gray, while it brings out
the green of the leaves more than is
necessary. Nevertheless, little red in
a picture in which there is a large
mass of violet almost always looks well,
but that red becomes then the dominant
note, and the violet only an accessory.

The position Of the player at the piano

bow should always be on level with

hand, especially the second finger or
finger near the thumb, should be grace

the piece to be studied should always
