"A Cabbage Centarpiecc.

A novel and inexpensive decoration
for the dinner table was evolved by an
ingenious woman seeking to combine
the maximum of effect with the mini
mum of expense. The result was SO
charming that she resolved to make the
Idea public for the benefit of other
housekeepers similarly situated. Here
it is:
Take head of cabbage. one that has
been picked too late is best, for the
leaves open better then, and are apt to
be slightly curled. Lay the cabbage
on flat plate or salver and press the
leaves down and open with your hand,
firmly but gently, SO as not to break
them off. When they all lie out fiat
stab the firm, yellow heart through
several times with sharp knife, until
Its outlines are lost and then place
flowers at random all over the cabbage.
Roses are prettiest, but any flower
which has firm, stiff stem, capable of
holding the blossom upright will do.
Press the stems down through the
leaves and put in sufficient green to
vary prcttiiy. The outer leaves of the
cabbage, the only ones to be seen when
the flowers are in, form charming
background, far prettier than any bas-
