SOCIAL NOTES

Red, white. n blue are brilliant
colors, all of us are willing to admit.
But there Is such a thing as too much
red. white and blue, even in Fourth
of July decorations. So if we use red,
white and blue favors for the Fourth
of July table, it is better to use pure
white flowers.
There are many charming favors
that can be made at home, and their
children's t1me-and perhaps point a
lesson in patriotism, too. For one
thing, there are cannon balls, which
may be piled in the center of the Ia
BILE, with a red ribbon, leading from
each ball to one of the places. ANY
round pasteboard forms will do for
the foundation. They should be COW
cred with white or red or blue paper,
banded with strips of the other two
colors. In the center of each a favor
can be placed .
Then there are frecrackers. To
make these cut strips Of unlocked
marconi into two or three inch lengths
and run a piece of string through the
center, with ends protruding like a
fuse. Next the marconi with
red paper. These are very effective.
very inexpensive, and very easy to
make. A little pile of them can be
frame in front of each plate, or
they can be piled in the center Of the
table to give a most dangerous look to
the table. The children can build a
fort of them in the center of the table,
with small flags flying from its but
treSSed walls,
A Jack Horner pie in the form Of a
drum is another good c~enterpiece.
h gifts, of course, are attached to
the ends of ribbons which are thrust
through the head of the drum. This
drum can be made out of a hat box,
covered with red, white n blue pa
per and the tiny macaroni frecrack-
ers can be used around its edes as a
frine.
Perhaps the prettiest decorations
are those composed of f1owerhs.
The old-fashioned, fat ~couquet,
fashionable in the days of our moth
ers, is a delightful one to use in the
center of the table. 1t should be
composed of flowers of the three pa
triotic colors.
Blue. perhaps, is the most difficult
circle OF the bouquet. C~ornfowers, if
you car ct t~hem-ragged sailors or
bachelors buttons, to be more exact
can be used for the blue part.
tums can also be used for the blue.
The next ring must be white, and al
most any white flower will do. There
are white roses. white ageratum,
sweet alyssum, and candytuft and
many other small white flowers that
can be used. The outer. red rim is
also Easy to find. G%eraniums, roses
or any other red flower your garden

flrecracker that might very %appropri-

This bouquet should be fiat and for
