FOR THE TEA TABLE.

Nothing is better with the cup of aft
ernoon tea perhaps than a slice of crisp
buttered toast. But now and then a
sweet cake is reliShed as a change.
Moreover, it is far easier to prepare tea

An Artistic Arrangement.

sure to nip off the end of each shoot,
as advised above, to make the plant
spread out well.
Many plants can be secured of the
florists and these can be divided next
season. One good sized plant can be
made to serve as half a dozen small
plants in the spring, each one of which
will become quite large enough for the
table use by fall.
A combination of ferns can be easily
grown for use on the table. The broad
tums go well together.
The grace of these plants is adapted
to the table where quality is consid-
cred as more important than quantity.
A combination of ferns of different
variety with plants having pretty
foliage in color is beautiful. In this
case peperomia and tradescantia are
used to supply the desired effect.
Fern pans filled with small plants Of
varieties best calculated to give sue
cessful results in the living room, can
be bought of nearly all the florists.
One should not depend upon a single
specimen. Have two, three or more to
admit of frequent change.
Few plants can be kept on the table
day after day without becoming un-
healthy. Have several and allow none
of them to do decorative duty for
longer than a day or two at a time.
At holiday time there will be at
tractive plants on the market and
some of these are admirably adapted
to table use.
There is the Jerusalem cherry, a
miniature bearing scarlet fruit, and
the ardisia, a plant with rich, dark
foliage against which it's dark, red ber-
ries show to most pleasing effect.
Small plants of araucaria are not
pretty but are so peculiar in habit
that they always attract attention and
challenge admiration.
A plant of poinsettia with it's scarlet
Towering will make the table radiant
with it's wealth of color.
Pots of Roman hyacinth are charm
ing adjuncts of the breakfast table, as
are lilies of the valley or narcissus.
These will last for a long time if they
are removed to the window as soon as
the meal is over

TABLE DECORATIONS
BY EBEN e. RExFOE0.

/ fancy some readers saying we can
not all have flowers for the table.
Greenhouses are not to be found in
every little village. Even if they
we're, many of us could not afford to
purchase from them except on very
extra occasions.
True, but why not grow your own
plants? Then you will be indeed in
dependent of the florist to a consider
able extent.
Most women have plants in the win
dows, but the majority IRE not adapt
ed to table use.
The table plant for this purpose, all
things considered, is the asparagus
plumosus. 1t has foliage much daintier
than that of any fern.
1t can easily be made to grow in the
bushy compact form which a plant de-
signed for use on the table should
have.
This is done by pinching off the
ends of the young fronds when they
have made a growth of IL or 10 inches.
This causes the lower side branches
to spread out broadly and breadth is
secured where there would be little if
the plant were allowed to train itself.
Such a plant is very attractive in it.
self with it's filmy green foliage, COM
parable only to lace, or mist, in its
delicacy.
But whenever additional brightness
is desired a few long-stemmed flowers
thrust in among it's fronds will furnish
it in a most delightful manner Roses,
carnations, narcissus, astilbe, stevia
all these and many more can be used
with it with most charming effect.
Have three or four plants of it and
you will have but little use for the
florist. They will be quite as attrac'
tive in the window as any other plants
that can be grown there, therefore
they will serve a double purpose.
Give this asparagus a soil of garden
loan made light with sand. Water
moderately. Sunshine is not neces'
sary to it's successful culture.
Shower several times a week and
keep red spiders from injuring it. Be

"Sfoe Died
Of :
. Cbings"

This touching epitaph was placed on
a woman's tombstone by her affection
ate husband.
Things-things and still more things
most women spend the better part OF
their lives battling with them. The
housekeeper knows the story we'll. The
multiplicity of her possessions and the
care of them seem too often to be-
come her chief concern. 1t is as if life
existed for things. instead of things
for life.
And it is not alone the h~ousekeeper
who finds herself a victim of things.
The business woman perhaps finds the
nroblem an even more serious inc for
she. too, often accumulates not wisely
but too well.
somehow I'm going to get ahead of
these unruly possessions of mine," said
such a to another when in the
midst of a perfect orgy of clearing up
her small apartment.
II seem to spend half my time put
ting things away and taking care of
them. collecting my scant wearing ap-
parel and keeping it all In something
like order"
Perhaps" suggested the other wo-
man, you are starting at the wrong
end of the problem. Instead of devils
ing better ways. and means of arrang-
ing your possessions and keeping them
in order, why not apply a little more
thought to the process of accumula-
ton?
Most of US accumulate twice as
many things as we need or want.
Whether it's clothing or bric-a-brac,
it's quite possible that we would be
much better satisfied if we had fewer
things and had them better, and GER
tainly life would be simpler"
In any event. it would be a happier
arrangement for u executors. for
things, unfortunately. even useless
things, have a persistent way of stay
ing on after we go.
Women by right ought to be con-
tractors and engineers. They love to
make things. They want to put two
previously Useless things together and
make one perfectly useful thing, which,
it must be admitted, is a worthy and
commendable aspiration.
But while they are making. how
happy a thing it would be if they al
ways made things that were worth
while! Creative effort is too precious a
thing, too rare a thing, too desperately
needed in this world to be squandered.
Therefore when q women suggests
that by crocheting an edge or sewing
lace around the cuffs of mems discard
ed shirts n may make excellent pot
holders for the stove we feel impelled
to take kindly but respectful issue with
her.
Let us not burn our fingers on hot
kettles IL we can help it. and by all
means let us use up old shirts in this
excellent way if we so desire. but as
long as we have breath let us save our
constructive effort for a more lofty
cause than belaced pot holders.
