 Harvest decorations always follow the reds. yellows, browns and soft greens with the purple and reddish shades of the grapes. pretty formal decora ton IS to use a tall silver or gilt basket of the highly-coloFed fruit in the centre ot hollow square formed by four candle sticks holding yellow candles. At both @0dS place a tall vase containing only two or three large yellow chrysarthe- nuns. With this arrangement the table

 Another lorna; arrangement for a long ~efeCtory table iH to cover the table with a coarse flet lace runner, which lays long the top of the tA ble from end to end. In the centre place a fiat, soft blue glass flower saucer with a slngIe floating pink rose in 1t. At either side put blue candJesticl1s of the same sha de with tall. square, blue candles In them On one side place blue dish with pink rose and green candied mint leaves, at the other side obIonE blue dish with purple grapes. Flat ware Is laId for three courses Use blue service plates
 A round table for formal dinner may be covered with lace and embroidered cloth. Place in the centre one of the new hand decorated, fiat glass. saucer shaped bowls h the middle place one of the large porcelain parrots which are twelve to fourteen inches tall. In the saucer arrange few floating yellow flowers. or i'll the dish with colorfuI fruit in which the parrot will seem to be deeply interested as he looks down rom his perch.

WORDS Of WISE MEN

Truth IS never hurtful to man.
 Reason Is the director of mans win discovering in action what Ls good.
 -Tis the riches Of mind only that make a man truly rich and happy.
 The mighty purpose never is o'ertook unless the decd go with it-
 RashIy and seldom truly. doth man pass Judgment on his brother
 Among the pitfalls in our way
 The best of walk bund1y.
 So man. be wary. watch and pray
 And judge your brother kindly.
 Education Is not so much the accu- mutation Of facts as the development of capacities.
 Listen not to a tale bearer OF sian derer. for he tells you nothing out O! goodwill but as he discovered the secrets of others. so will he discover yours in turn.
 Whoever reads only to transcrsbs shining remarks without entering into the genius and spirit of the author will be apt to be misled out of the regular way of thinking.
 Be not penny-wise- Riches have vvines and sometimes they fly away of them selves. sometimes they must be set ey ing to bring in more
