DECORATING FOR RECEPTIONS.
or Flowers, Ferns and
HanEinEs.

Whether the decorations be few or
many, let the position of every spray Of
flowers or greens, every ribbon stream
er, every strip of bunting, be consid-
cred not only individually, but in con-
nection with the entire scheme of dec
Grafton. Generally speaking, if but lit
tle material for decoration is to be used
1t is better to concentrate it in one
effective mass than to make 1t extend
over so large a space that no part OF
1t can be made effective. Thus the fiow-
ers may all be given to the large table,
the smaller ones simply having the
fronds of hardy ferns scattered over
the cloths. This will give much bet
ter effect than meager bunch of fiow-
ers on each table. These hardy ferns
can usually be procured at the florists
for about five cents a bunch of 100
fronds. If no flowers at all are used
there are great decorative possibilities
in these ferns alone. Carrying out the
same idea in other decorations, it would
seem better to mass the ribbons and
bunting or flags in one handsome group
ing over a window at the end of the
room, or about the rostrum, than to
so scatter them that the meagerness
Of the quantity would of itself attract
attention. One of the most attractive
of decorations was seen in a church
vestry, over whose window ivy was
trained. The nearest approach to this
could be made with trailing green's

A billiard cue with a square tip In

test. OF course, the experts win smile
In derision at this statement and saw
a square tip would be impracticable,
but that is because they have never
tried It. A well-known amateur Of
this city, who is of an experimental
and inventive turn of mind, conceived
the idea and had special cue made
with square tip. He says 1t answers
every purpose TO which the ordinary
cue is put, in addition to which IL has
a number of advantages over the
round tip. For one thing. it is inn
possible to make a miscue. The full
fierce of the cue strikes the ball and
gives 1t more purchase. The point of
contact between the rounded tip and
the ball is, perhaps, one-tenth less
than that OF the square tip and the
