Women who are giving luncheons this
month are making them football affairs
with nowers. favors, b~onbonnieres and
menu all suggesting the gridiron and the
game. SAYS Priscilla Standishs IN the
Philadelphia Press
Football motifs are to be very popular,
too, at Thanksgiving Day dinners Of those
who see the great Thanksgiving DAY
struggle at Franklin Field.
Pretty as these tables are it is the
easiest thing in the world to do one.
1t is only a question of choosing flowers
to give the colors of your college and of
providing little favors and surprises
through the meal TO carry out the idea
Thu table trimmings for every Philadel-
phia table will be, of course, red and blue
Vaolets and red carnations or rosebuds.
massed together, to form the ce~ntrepieee
and distributed by the hostess at the end
Of the meal.
The shops are now selling some or
iginal little bonbon boxes of papier mache
In the shape of football players, which
make delightful favors for such a lunch
con or dinner These boxes are very in
expensive and it is possible to get them
representing every member of the eleven.
A Philadelphia society girl who is plan
ming a luncheon with football decorations,
means to limit her guests to eleven and
to use these favors, giving one woman
a captain, one a fullback, another a quar-
ter-back and so on through the list.
A lash of red and blue must appea in
everything. Candle shades may be blue
with Empire wreathes of scarlet flowers.
Place-cards, if these are used, should
have knots of ribbon of the appropriate
combination.
A silk football. suspended by ribbons
to hang just above the table, makes a
very effective bit of decoration.
The walls of the room might be draped
in red and blue bunting.
Your confectioner can add still another
telling stroke by supplying ice cream for
the occasion, either in the shape of a
football in yellow or a college banner de-
lightfully carried out in red and blue ices

Not long ago l spent several weeks IN
summer in the little village of Ketton,
and while there came to know of a pretty
custom which it seems to me might be
introduced into this country-that of CIV
ing prizes for the most pleasing windows
filled with house plants, says 4.Vick's
Magazine"
The houses In Ketton are built Of
stone. Almost withouts exception they
stand close to the street, for English gar
lens are behind the houses. or behind
high walls, and so the quaint lead-sashed
windows are so near the sidewalks that
the flowers which fiji them show to the
best advantage. I had often admired the
beautiful displays in Ketton and wonder
ed at them, until I happened to learn that
they had a definite object beside that of
ornament.
A small fund had been set aside some
years before by q wealthy lady, the in
come to be devoted to giving prizes each
year to the possessor of the finest window
garden. The sum available for premiums
was not large-as / remember 1t now e.

prizes were respectively a1, 12s., and IS.
