him that that was the office of the

The Yellow Bowl For
The Purple Violet

THERE are pottery bowls of an old
IL yellow tone that Immediately sug-
gest themselves as holders for purple
violets. The tops of these bowls are
irregular in shape with three clefts in
the outline, the edges curling under
like parchment scrolls. Any other
short stemmed colorful flowers might
be arranged in them, although they are
essentially violet bowls.
Because Easter is so late this year
there will not be many vioets avail
able for corsage bouquets. Instead
there will be clusters of mauve colored
orchids sprayed with yellow mimosa,
such as grows along the walks at
Monte Carlo These bouquets will be
tied with gold gauze. Then there will
be nosegays of pink rosebuds, caught
together with mauve ribbons, and
punches of yellow pansies will be held
by orchid streamers. Other nosegays
will be made up of pink rosebuds and
bits of blue Delphinium. These will
be combined by tying tiny rosebuds
here and there among the ribbons.
In this country we have always
thought of the carnation as com
