ers must not overpower the vase, nor
the vase the flowers. The inclination
seems to be to allow the receptacle to
become too prominent, especially if it
happens to be bowl, when the flowers
are inclined to slip in too far. This
makes the bunch of flowers too COM
pact, with too little allowance for the
grace and beauty Of stem and leaf. We
Americans have a weakness for mass
ing everything. Sometimes it is well
from color standpoint, but it is inva.
rlably better to have a part at least
as we'll as color; nature likes breath
ing space.
The inclination in composition is to-
ward round outlines and perfect SYM
metry, while it should be toward the
triangle and balance, lacking in SYM
metry., The strongest point, the lar
gest, heaviest flowers and the tallest
exactly IN the center, while the side
lines must conform with or balance
those of the receptacle. 1t must al
ways be open and' light, with no hard
lines and little density. Nature alone
can show us how.
When the composition in itself is as
nearly perfect as possible, it is neces-
sary to adapt its surroundings to it or
it to its surroundings, altho they should
have been considered from the first,
while it is often better, to arrange the
composition in the place it is to occupy.
Certain arrangements are best seen
from above, certain others from below,
the general outline and color of the
piece of furniture upon which it is to
| be placed must be considered, and,
above all things, mass OF bric-a-brae
| must not be allowed to crowd upon 1t
and detract from it. Flowers should
stand almost if not quite alone against
a plain background, harmonious in tone.
The character OF the room should also
be in keeping with that of the flowers.
TO illustrate it very broadly, a jar OF
| goldenrod would never be in keeping

Refnishing Fine Table.

A table of beautiful wood which had
lost it's beauty by having hot things
set on it, burning thru the varnlsh and
down to the wood, was made to look
as we'll as new by this treatment; first
I've put on with brush as it is verv
bad for the hands. This loosened the
varnish which was then scraped en-
tirely off with a piece of glass. The
boards being bare, they were rubbed
smooth with coarse sandpaper and when
in good condition were rubbed with
crude oil. This leaves a dull finish
which pleased the owner better. than
one that shone, but if the polish is pre-
'ferred it could be given with varnish.
All the marks of service will disappear
from a table or other piece of wood
treated in this manner. and the labor
necessary to produce the result is not
great.
