ARRANGING FLOWERS
IN ARTISTIC BOUQUETS

Arranging flowers is a pretty piece of
work, which. when carefully done. makes
few blossoms quite as effective as a
large bouquet AS proof of this examine
the charming jars and dishes fixed by
Japanese, who seldom use more than
three blossoms in one receptacle and
achieve the same results as il there were
blooms in profusion.
Any yellow, red or white blossoms ex-
cept roses, are admirably adapted to
place in brass or copper jars, and such
holders have distinct advantages over
ordinary vases, for the reason that they
may be used for other purposes.
Nothing can be more charming for
instance, and at the same time less ex-
pensive, than shallow jar or basin, hold
ing five jonquils and as many stems of
narcissus. When so few flowers are used
the., should be placed in small iron rings,
to he found now in almost all art de-
partments. and certainly in all oriental
shops. The rings are just large enough
to hold one flower. and are Joined in
groups of three or five. These sets are
put into any kind of shallow dish one
chooses, filing it with water. The addi-
ton of small white pebbles. just on a
line with the top of the rings adds to
the artistic effect. If the stems are a
bit small for the holders each NAV be
bracen py putting piece of match or q
section of another stem into the hole
The object is to make each flower stand
erect \ better effect is gained by hay
ing the stems irregular lengths rather
tia all the same. Any stiff stalk flowers
are useu in this way. and later In the
spring twigs of apple and other fruit
blossoms make lovely table decora
ton.
Very long stem jonquils are effective in
a deep brass copper urn. A arg.
number is not required if the blossoms
are first put into a tumbler other small
receptacle This, filled with water Is
placed In the metal Mignonette is an
other flower that lends itself to metal
holders with admirable results. especially
as the stems soon defile the water and
transparency then detracts from theil
beauty.
Cut glass and silver are better adapted
for roses than to any other flowers, the
combination being more harmonious. Rose
stems, with the foliage attached. are al
ways pretty and show through glass
while the briliancy Of the cutting or
polish of the silver, sets off the flowers
as diamonds do an evening gown.
English women and continentals use
flowers far more than do Americans be-
cause Europeans are sufficiently beauty
loving to see grace even in weeds If they
blossom. From the time the earliest
snowdrops come city shops are filled
the country merely for the picking Any
of these. in plain but we'll colored china

charmingly artistic touch to room and
