Fascinatingly new and colorful
among the new things this season are
the colored table linens. Poiret, the
dress and fabric designer of French
fame, evolved the linen shown here.
1t shows a brilliant flower design on
natural ground and has an eight
inch border of harmonizing tone. This
same design is also procurable in a
black or blue background.
Carrying out the modern feeling
for smartness and gayety this table
is set with glass entirely instead of
with glass and china. The flowers in
the linen are orange, yellow and dull
blue with green leaves and black cen.
ters. The plates and glasses are am
ber. The knives, forks and spoons
have dark orange handles.
With proper consistency the center
decoration Is composed of cluster
of the new glass flowers in brilliant
shades or blue, orange and red. They
are arranged in a deep bowl of nodded
French glass which stands in turn on
black glass mat.

More attractions and special features

that the largest crowd ever, outside

will be the chief attraction for the

in the country, many of whom have
