OF these lamps will add to the beauty
of the decorations for an afternoon or
evening social affair.
The electric lamp may be objected
to because the glare of the light brings
out all the lines in the face. However,
through the colored glass the light is
tinted so that its unpleasant effects are
modified.
In selecting cut flowers for table dec
crations where electric lights are to be
used consideration should be given to
the action of electric light ON color.
Blues and violets are uncertain. for
under particular qualities Of electric
light they become duIled. Some shades
of purple are safe. and lilac color is
usually intensified if anything.
White, red and yellow are the safest
of all both for daylight and artificial
lighting, and, moreover. they ere be-
coming to guest of any complexion
or costume.
Two lamps that give good idea Of
the style used for decorative purposes
are illustrated here. One represents 4

The plant is imbedded in a metal bowl

Oranges. huge punches of grapes,
lemons and many flowers are used in
designing the lamps.
While an electrical battery can be
bought and placed under the table
when the lamps are used. it is more
convenient to attach them directly to

The Rabbits Nest.

Hunting the nest of the Easter rab-
bit is looked forward to in Germany
by the children with the same eager
ness as our little ones hang up their
stockings at Christmas.
While the chicken shares the hon
ors with the rabbit, it is always the
latter who sits on the nest for which
the children hunt with such avidity.
The children's parents hide this nest
with great care. so often the entire
morning is consumed before it is dis
covered with the treasured eggs. each
containing a gift.
Some of the eggs are made OF cot
ton: others are the real shells carefully
implied of their contents.
