Each Day Has Its Dominating
Deity.
When the mythology of the north
and the south joined the elements in
giving to us the names of our days
OF the week, they likewise bestowed
upon each a flower and a sentiment
OF its own. To the hostess who wishes
| to be very up-to-date in the detail OF
her entertainments these bts of day
history may be woven into one with
/ good results.
Sunday, as every one knows, is
named after the sun and its flower is
| the heliotrope, with the flowers senti
| ment, Il turn TO thee, taken as tht
| sentiment of the day. This come.
| from the old Greek analysis of TIL
| flower name-Helio, the sun anL
| trope. to turn. AS yet Sunday enter
tainments of formal kind are only
part of city life, but the little tea OF
evening spread is hospitality of tn,
country over and a bit of decoration
| bringing out the ideas OF the day is
always pretty.
The decoration for Sunday may have
for a centerpiece a mound of hello
| trOpe, made as flat as possible From
this circle. which may represent tn
sun, have thin strands OF asparagu
fern, in irregular lengths representa-
tive Of the suns rays. For plac
cards use the small square cards
through the corner of which may b.
run spray OF he!iouope On thcs
may be written the sentiment of the
day or quotations appropriate TO the
day For instance for a party of six

Monday is named FOR the moon Its /
flower is the big white daisy which |
grows IN the fields of our country. Al /
though the flower in truth more near |
ly resembles the sun, with its great |
yellow center and its radiatine white /
petals. it has been chosen as the en-
blem for moons day because OF the !
rounduess Of the center.
The daisy sentiment is: Il think OF /
thee" Few flowers lend themselves
more beautifully to decoration than
this white field daisy. and the Monday
hostess who follows the sentiment of
the day finds herself unusually for
tunate. The table should be laid in
silver and white In the center a
round mirror mounted on silver or
metal closely resembling silver. may
