Trimming the Table

To some women the ornamenting
of the table for social occasions
stands out as a greater bugbear than
the menu, the cooking or the serv-
ing. How to make the table look
attractive and original does not
come naturally to every one and re-
quires considerable thought One
woman has made a study of this
subject, with the result that her ia
bic is now noted for its prettiness
and she is relieved from the former
struggle of indecision as how to be-
gin. This is one way she suggests:
Provide a centerpiece and doilies
to match which have a wide, open
work border. They may be expen-

them sets of Innings cut from silk
and lightly hemmed around the
edges. If silk is unavailable, fine
silesia or crepe paper make excel
lent substitutes. She has sets of
Innings in scarlet, yellow, pink and
green, and they are unattached to
the linen. When the color scheme
is selected the appropriate Innings
are slipped under the centerpiece
and doilies, the color shows through
the openwork borders and the shade
is at once emphasized over the ia
bic. If one has Z polished table,
very we'll; if not, these arrangements
will adapt themselves to the snowy
tablecloth and prettiness will fol-

Being brought before the teach

three nonsense questions, the more
absurd the better. For instance.
