FLOWER ARRANGEMENT.

There must be careful study Of balance be-
tween receptacle and flowers in making up
composition. The flowers must not overpower
the nor the vase the flowers The incl1na-
ton seems TO be to allow the receptacle to be-
come too prominent especially il it happens TO
be bowl, when the flowers are inclined to slip
in too far. This makes the. bunch of flowers too
compact, with too little allowance for the grace
and beauty of stem and leaf. We Americans
have weakness for massing everything. Some
times it is well from color standpoint but it is
invariably better to have part, at least, of
the composition open, showing line as we'll as
color; nature likes a breathing space. In
picture by a prominent artist in of the re-
cent exhibitions a large green glass bowl con-
tanning a bunch of nasturtiums is introduced
for the sake of color contrast The bunch Of mas
turtIums is round and solid, about one-quarter
the size Of the bowl, the blossoms packed firmly
together, and a general appearance Of having
been pushed forcibly in to stay. The effect of
this a minor detail though it be, almost ruins
the picture. Bowls of flowers very difficult
to arrange without getting this effect, especially
if the mouth of the bowl is small in proportion
The flowers should be given the benefit Of the
entire length of their stems. either balancing
them delicatey the edge of the mouth, which
necessitates renewing the water very frequently
using one Of the brass nets each mesh large
enough to hold one or more stems in place.
