FLOWERS IN THE HOME.

It is a delight at any season to 60
In a house which Is adorned with
flowers. The blooms. with their sug-
gestion of garden and field, give
touch of beauty that nothing else can
yield. Yet though flowers are the
most beautiful of decorations. their
full effect can be gained only when
taste is exercised in arrangement.
Perhaps one should be reminded,
first OF all, that 1t is n mistake to
have in the house strongly scented
flowers. Certainly such flowers should
not be placed in small rooms or In
rooms where people are to be for any
length of time. They should abso-
lutely be prohibited from bedrooms.
AS to the living room or the dining
room, il 1t is summer and there is
plenty of fresh air so the air cannot
become heavily laden with perfume
the objection is not so great.
Another thing to consider In select
ing flowers for the home is whether
any of the household Is addicted to
rose colds or hay fever. II so. do not
have indoors golden rod, day lilies
or other flowers which give of much
pollen
The influence of the Japanese had
much to do with bringing about moro
pleasing and effective floral arrange
mania Tho Iananaga do nnt .ut
many flowers in one vase, nor do
they combine different varieties In
the same vase. A grouping of three
flowers in one vase 10 a favorite with
the Japanese. s
j Study to follow nature in yotr( ar,
fangement of flowers. II flowers grow
in close clusters act on this hint in
their use. in the house, II they grow
singly, do not mass them closely; at
any rate. do not have such flowers of
uniform height in the vase. and.
however close the stems may be. let
the blossoms spread. -
To insure this spreading, the Japa-
nese evolved the flower holder. II is
really perforated metal weight.
which rests in the bottom of the
vase or bowl.
Usually those OF japanese fashion
Ing are of grotesque design. the drag
on or the turtle favorites. Into the
openings the stalks or stems of the
flowers are placed, the weight of the
holder being sufficient to counter
balance that of the blossoms A
fower-holder can be easily and quick
ly fashioned out of tea lead.
Some flowers demand an additional
touch OF green, while others. such as
the chrysantherum. and sweet pea,
are quite suficlent in themselves. A
bit OF asparagus or maidenhair fern
always adds a decided touch to the
carnations. '4 ~, ~ 1,E,s
