MAKING THE BRIDES BOUQUET
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN

BY EGiZABET n VAN BEN HOYSEN
Many Of my readers who live far
from the big cities will be surprised to
learn that in New York city some of
the big florists employ men whose sole
business in life is To make bouquets
for brides.
There has been such an enormous in
crease i'll the national wealth and so
much Of it had graXitated toward the
chief city of the land that it has to ind
expression in many Why's that would
never occur to the master of west
ern or Il southern farm.
The underlying reason for the erea-
ton Of the new occupation of makiag
special arrangements FOR the bridal
bouquet may probably be best eX-
planned by an incident that took place
In one Of the leading New York hotels.
\ w0man of wealth and fashion had a
gown designed in Paris. It was all her
own. She was carefully arrayed for
her appearance in the dining room.
When she reached the table she
glanced across the room and spied an
other woman wearing gown of the
same model
The woman swept from the table in
haste.
Where are you going?" asked her
escort.
"To change this uniform indignant
ly replied the woman of money.
That idea is the underlying princi-
pie that makes the specialist in bridal
bouquets possible The rich and So
phisticated people of society want
something different. Whether it is a
decoration for the table. the arrange
ment of flower bed in the lawn, or
the planning of a costume it wants
to have some distinctive feature that
others have not previously used.
That is where the maker of bridal
bouquets shines. Men who have
head for such things study the shape,
the composition and the design of each
wedding bouquet ana then set their
heads to planning something of diff
fereut type for the next conner.
1t is something like trying to eat a
yuan a Abg lpl Nllll - htiN =. MI iIlisl
can undertake such task and devote
much thought to anything else in II
town where the brides average ut least
one Il day in the class where the cost
of flowers is absolutely no considera-
ton if something novel can be pro-
duced.
Woe betide the young man who
sends out a bridal bouquet that one of
the seasoned veterans of society can
recognize as being like the one he saw
at a previous wedding. 1t must have
distinction. 1t must be in a class by
itself and this demand has created
field for men who can think and who
devise novel arrangements of flowers
TO be carried by the procession of
brides that marches each season
through the society columns of New
York.

\ Buddhist priest once said 10 mis-
sionary, We have no love in our re-
tigion. Christianity has. You will
therefore succeed"
And all this is the stranger because
the Buddhists heretofore have taught
that young children and wome. have
no souls, and they have consequently
been neglected. Now they are quoting
from authors who speak of Meth
odism's work in Europe, beginning
among the children.
The imitation of Christian methods
is great, though an undersigned. com

and the native church. An interesting

ferent flaxors in the frostings. By
adding richness and flavor to a cake,
frosting has a long list Of things in its
favor.
The uncooked frostings are especial
ly economical in the time saved in the
preparation. The fiayoring is entirely
preserved in the frosting as the heat
in baking destroys much of the volatile
flavors.
While the cake is cooling the frost
ing should be made and if it is to be
served at once the kind of frosting
best to Use is the uncooked one, using
the white of an egg, beaten; adding an
equal volume of water or fruit juice
and powdered sugar to the consistency
10 spread If 1t must stand cover with
a damp cloth. If fruit juice is not
used, any flavor desired may be add
ed with the water.
Plain Boiled Frosting-Beat the
white of an egg until light and while
beating, have cooking eupful of sugar
and a quarter of cupful of water,
when the strip is honeylike In consist
eRcy pour three tablespoonfulS over
the beaten egg, continue beating, and
continue cooking the strip until it
hairs, then pour the remainder over
the egg slowly and beat until stiff
enough to put on the cake A frosting
made in this way will keep longer,
Will have a shiny surface and creamy
consistency underneath.
When frosting is overlooked and be-
comes too hard after beating. add a
little lemon juice, boiling water or
cream; very small amounts will make
tile frostlng smooth. If ii is too thin
add a little powdered sugar to thieken
It. The frosting will not be as good
but better than TO try to use it too
thin.
Atmospheric conditions often play
havoc with boiling sugar. A damp
rainy day the frosting is apt to be
sticky. even when boiling as usual.

DRESSING THE TABLE

At all of the latest flower shows of
the first magnitude prizes have been
awarded FOR the best dressed tables.
The idea is to impress upon the public
the part that flowers and plants may
play In adding some psychological eff
feet to the routine matter of eating.
The most ordinary food, served with
some garnishment of flowers, takes on
an added Zest and the big flower shows
have sought to develop taste and in
terest in making the table something
more than n place to put food The
first prize table at one of the most i'm
portant shows had centerpiece of
flowers, with individual stands for
each guest
The harmony of the floral offerings
undoubtedly won the prize fo.the sue
ceSStul exhibitor.
