BLUE RIBBON TABLE.
louisville Courier Journal

The crowd was so dense that you had
to peer over the shoulders OF number
OF people before you could see what II
was all about Except for a glimmer OF
lavender and gold one had to guess
what there was to be seen.
1t was at the wonderful Flower show
held in New York recently. When the
crowd parted 1t was found that the CEN
ter of interest was the exhibit that had
taken first prize in table decorations.
1t was beautiful, too. In the center
OF the snowy luncheon cloth a tall. plain
silver vase filled with a mass Of yellow
jonquils and pale lavender peas. At
each woman's place was a smaller silver
holder containing a corsage bouquet OF
the same flowers. and at the mems
plates was small boutonniere of the
sweet peas. For delicacy of spring color
ing and charm of arrangement II easily
surpassed the others and bore It's blue
ribbon proudly.
A lesson for the housewife here.
Flowers in the center of the table must
either be below the level of the eyes or
above It, The space between the faces
of your guests must be left clear. In
general, low bowl with flowers thar
are spreading is the most feasible, but
for dinner parties the high vase with
it's long stemmed blooms falling over in
a dainty shower Is more appropriate.
In this prize flower show table II was
as II delicate tree had spread its
branches of spring bloom over the heads
Of the guests.

known her twenty-five years, she is
still telling you the same thing.
She is a photograph with one record,
and 1t never occurs to her that no hui
man being except herself cares a think
er's dam about her pedigree, or the
riches her family used to have, or Is
interested in any has BEEN stuff. All
we care for is the now-present.
The woman who has seen better days
never learns to do her work properly,
because she thinks that would put her
on a level with the plebean woman who
is having her best days in earning a
good salary. And II she keeps boarders,
she feels that you should not object to
the coffee being as weak as dishwater
because 1t is poured out OF great grand
mothers silver coffee pot About which,
and the splendor In which she was
reared. she crates endlessly.
The second among bores is the woman
who tells you her troubles She keeps
her tears on tap. and turns thin on at
every opportunity. She comes to see
you and weeps on your breast until you
are sodden with salt water. sShe is like
some uncanny bird that lives by feast
ing on its heart. and she forces you to
partake of her hideous meal.
She tells you tales of the horrible
brutality with which her husband treats
her, but she goes on living with him.
She relates piteous stories OF her chill
drens' ingratitude. but she continues to
cherish them. She bewails her poverty.
She laments her bad luck. She bemoans
her Ill health. She is on a perpetual
orgy OF melancholy. and she forces every
one who knows her to drink of her cup
of sorrow, and she is never so happy as
when she has cast wet blanket over
any festive occasion. and made every

The third greatest among bores is the
woman who pretends to be young.

how many winters, but she sets the
clock back every year, lays a heavier
