NOW EVERYTHING is SIMPLE
Has Gone Entirely Out of
Popular Favor.

Fashion is tickle in table service as
well as in other things. The dinner
table of today Is not what it was a
teT years ago. All the ornateness of
decoration las departed, and center
pieces no longer resemble junglss,
while one can sat at ones ease with
out being surrounded by silly little
china Cupids and evans
Tic whole scheme of decoration
for the modern dinner table makes
fcs SisapIcity. Any suggestion Of
ostentation is bad form. The table
is not strswn with trailing sInilax
and loose flowers, nor is to bare
mahogany seen as of old, e. .4ept for
luncheon OIL breakfast.
There is reversal of este in
favor of good linen, plain gla.s, good
flowers and a general practis a! sim
piicity of service in every detail
Glass bowls with a few welit elected
flowers are even supplanting he sill
vec ones, but the latter are often of
such real beauty and lend TO the
table such distinction that it viii be
difficult to supplant them entliely.
Odd little novelties for tbs table

When Wearing Flowers.

All of us love to wear a cluster of
flowers when we are very much
dressed up indeed, but the trouble ia
that the stems often stain nght-col-
ored fabrics, no matter how carefully
we dry them or how Intellectually
wrap them in tissue paper. One
clever girl has solved the problem by
making a chamois bag to hold the
stems.
She cut a piece of chamois (gray
glove chamois Is best) into cornuco-
pia shape, stitching it together on the
machine. On the back she sewed
small safety-pin. This she fastens to
her coat or bodice and slips the stems
into it. Those who SON 7times wear
long-stemmed roses, ETC., at evening
functions should make two cases, one
long for these and one short for such
flowers as violets. The case is in
conspicuous and very effective.
