Novel Table Decoration. .

At dinner party there was a
charming Jack Horner pie made of
pink crepe paper, the top covered
with pink carnations in the center Of
the table. Pink satin ribbon went TO
each place, held down by a wee white
porcelain jardinere In which one pink
lily stood erect and stately; beaming
against these dainty favors were the
place cards lettered in gold There
were nine guests and the effect of the
circle Of lilies was lovely. The tiny
jardineres were filed with earth so
the lilies did not fade. This idea may
be carried out in any flower With the
dessert course, ribbons were pulled
revealing souvenir for each guest
done up in pink paper. They were all
characteristic of some fad of the
guest and created much merriment.

Old Grimes is dead-that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
He used to wear long black coat,
All buttoned down before.
His heart was open as the day,
His feelings all We're true;
His hair was some inclined to gray
He wore it in queue.
Whene'er he heard the voice of pain
His breast with pity burned;
The large, round head upon his cane,
From ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for all,
He knew not base design;
His eyes We're dark and rather small,
His nose was aquiline.
He lived in peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
His coat had pocket-holes behind,
His pantaloons were blue. '
Unframed, the sin which earth pol
lutes,
He passed securely DER;
And never Wore pair of boots,
For thirty years or more.
But good old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's frown;
He wore a double breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
And pay it it's desert;
He modest merit sought to find,
He had no malice in his mind,
No ruffles on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay;
He wore large buckles on, his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge hid from public gaze
He did not bring to view
Nor make noise town-meeting days
AS many people do. q
His worldly goods he never threw,
In trust to Fortunes chances;
But lived las all his brothers do).
In easy circumstances.
