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 place to put food. The
first prize table at one of the most i'm
portant shows had a centerpiece of
flowers, with individual stands for
each guest.
The harmony of the floral offerings
undoubtedly won the prize for the sue.

The Spirit of Victory,

Nothing can beat this" says a
French journal, commenting on an ar
ticle published by the Austrians in a
little paper in Montenegro called the
News of Cetinje. The little paper notes
that on Mount Lovcen will be erected
a colossal monument to recall to future
generations the conquest by the Aus
trian armies of this Gibraltar of the
Adriatic. The sketch of this work,
presented to the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph but a short time before his death
by the artist, was approved by the
aged ruler. It represents the Spirit of
Victory Its enormous hands are
crossed upon a gigantic sword and ii
looks toward a horizon ''beyond which
now trembles the traitress Italy"

MAKING THE BRIDES BOUQUET
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENTHUYsEN

~ EEiEHOEi ~ VAN DEN T'O S-N
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 in the national wealth and so
much of it had gravitated toward the
chief city of the land that it has to find
expression in many ways that would
never occur to the masteI of west
ern or q southern farm.
The underlying reason for the crea-
ton of the new occupation of making
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.
A woman of wealth and fashion had a
gown designed in Paris. 1t 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 a 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 q
decoration for the table, the arrange
ment of flower bed in the lawn, oil
the planning of a costume it wants
to have some distinctive feature thai
others have not previously used.
That Is where the maker of brida
bouquets shines. Men who have {
head for such things study the shape
the composition and the design of eacf
wedding bouquet and then set theil
heads to planning something of diff
ferent type for the next conner.
1t is something like trying to eat
quail day for thirty days. No mai
can undertake such a task and devot
much thought to anything else in
town where the brides average at leas
one day in the class where the cos
of flowers is absolutely no considera
ti0n If something novel can be pre-
duced.
Woe betide the young man VIII
sends out a bridal bouquet that one o
the seasoned veterans of society ca
recognize as being like the one he sa,
at previous wedding. 1t must hav
distinction. 1t must be in a class b
ITSELF and this demand has created
field for men who can think and VIII
devise novel arrangements of flower
to be carried by the procession {
brides that marches each seaso
through the society columns of Ne
York.

simply this. Washington has out
