From Tuesdays Daily.
Pond Lilies For Table Decoration.
Now that it is pond lily season
and the water lilies are so abundapt
there is no cooler looking flower for
decorating the luncheon table. One
pretty table had for the centerpiece a
china swan filled with ferns resting
upon a circular mirror surrounded by
the lilies. The crystal candle sticks
hold white candles, with white shades
decorated in paper water lilies. In
each finger bowl, pond lily bud should
be floating. Each guests place is
marked by a single lily with the
name written on an inserted paper
petal which will not be detected as
artificial if carefully made. As far as
possible have every table appointment
in the pond lily colors of white, yeA
low and green.
White and gold china is especially
effective.
Still another idea for pond lily
decoration is to arrange them in water,
in such way that they will look as
if growing. The menu must also be
suggestive of the water, and white
fish as a salad or scalloped is especial
ly appropriate. For the dessert a
pistachio ice cream or a white water
ice will be quite the thing.
