Table Decorations.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Table centers are no longer the newest
things certainly, but they are still much
used and are made of all kinds of material.
The soft cream silk, fiuffeds into pillows,
edged and crossed with trails of smilax,
with sprays Of roses, either all OF one
color Though varying in shade) or harmon
izing in tint, laid on it, would look exquis-
ite with the silver lamps, especially If you
had rather high basket filled with roses
loosely arranged as if falling out of it, a
trail being wreathed round the handle and
kept in place with deftly tied bow Of sat
in ribbon for the center piece. Decorations
appear to vary now between extreme height
and extreme lowness, SO that guests may
either see each other uninterruptedly over
or under the decorations. The epergne, If
q really handsome one, might very we'll be
used, II artistically decorated either with
fruit or trails of roses and .smilax The
fact Is, there Is not any very definite fash
ion (beyond the question of height mem
toned above) in table decorations .ust now,
but every one uses what seems best and
most artistic in their own eyes and mest
convenient for their resources Clutha
glass. Aller Vale Rhodian pottery, Delft.
Rouen ware. etc., are all used; Ind, in fact
the great point is variety, and, If possible,
originality. Granted this latter, cspecial,y
II combined with beauty, any style Is per-
missible and admired.
