Novel Flower

Can Be Simple
BY Ellen Powell

Encouraging others to make
flowers express the personality of
the home and people in it is the
desire Of a temporary Washing
tonian, Miyoko Mori.
A new arrival on. the CAPITAL
scene, Miyoko. daughter of Tonic
Mori. press attache Of the Japa-
nese Embassy. spends her idle as
well as working hours on an oc-
cupation-hobby floral design.
Today. Miyoko is a qualified
teacher. After seven years sof
study with Mr.. Sofu Teshigahara,
originator of the Sogetsu School
in Japan. brown-eyed Miyoko has
learned that a simplicity and
feeling for atmosphere are assets
in her work. AS a result she can
accomplish more with IS cents
worth Of flowers than most Of us
with a So assortment. x
AS Miyoko tells it. the Japanese
no longer hold to the synbolistic
meanings which dominated their
flower arrangements for so many
years. Under Mr.. Sofu, whom
Miyoko says must be a genius"

Miyoko, in her clear but studied
English. flowers were arranged
SO that the end results were the
same regardless of the materials
used"
Now, she continues, while each
stem, leaf and blossom is still a
vital part of the pattern, the sur
roundings do much to determine
the style of the design in the
modern school. In most cases the

SERVING Melons

Brand-new housekeepers are
apt to become a bit confused amid
the many varieties of melons
which appear in our markets in
due season. Muskmelons, canta-
loupes-are they one and the
same. for instance? No-not at
al.
All melons in general are an
Asiatic or African species which
belong to the gourd family. They
are believed to have been culti-
vated a long time before the
Christian era, and were certainly
grown by the American Indians
in Colonial times. The odd thing
is that the wild progenitor of our
cultivated melons has not been
identified, but it is believed to
exist-somewhere in the tropics,
probably.
The most important commercial
varieties of melons that come to
market are the true cantaloupes,
Evening star., 1952-07-29

the muskmelons, the honeydew
melon, the casaba and water
melon. The muskmelons have
salmon or green flesh and are
soft-rind, netted round or oval
affairs, sometimes called nutmeg
melons in the trade. Best known
are the Persian, the Pride of Wis
consin and Hales Best. These
have salmon flesh and musky
flavor. The green-fieshed types
include Melted Gem, Rocky Ford
and Hackensack.
The true cantaloupe has flesh
that is light green to greenish
pink The rind is hard and warty.
(The name, incidentally, is de-
rived from the town Of Canta-
loupo. Italy where the vine was
introduced from Armenia.) The
fruit has definite ribs or weals
running from tip to tip.
Honeydews have a smooth, hard

great talent and taste along that

In trying so hard to be a good

merely a servant doing what she

whereas you have left him with
just what he had to start with.
A good wife carries halt Of her

You have given him little reason

The ideal marriage represents

mere echo of the other.
You are to be congratulated on
your sincere determination to
make your marriage a success,
Mrs. A., and it's time now to go al

frogs complete her equipment.
The flowers used in Miyoko's
designs are ones that have caught
her eye-whether buttercups or
orchids. She adds that many times
her arrangements are made from
flowers which she has picked
along the sidewalk or in her back
yard.
Assembling her favorite summer
arrangement. to clarity her ideas,
black-haired Miyoko worked one
flower at a time into the arrange
ment. She used large round
royal blue vase only two inches
deep in which she placed two frogs
on opposite sides. She pointed out
that the frogs would be entirely
hidden from view in the finished
design.
The stems Of one dusty rose lily
and two pale pink lilies were cut
under water in a separate bowl.
This. according to Miyoko, gives
the flowers a longer life span by
closing air from the stems, permit
ting only water to enter. Next she
inserted the lilies with their waxy
green leaves into the metal pins of
the frogs.
Water is actually three-fourths
of the finished arrangement, pro-
viding a cooling appearance
Empty spaces, Miyoko hastened to
say. are used to produce a certain
symmetry and hidden volume.
When completed the professional
name "Ukibana"-which means
floating howers-was given to the
arrangement.
Besides demonstrating the use
of a fiat vase, Miyoko has a tip
when using tall ones. She says to
take one Of the sturdier stems and
split it at one end to make a fork
Then place it midway in the vase.

Plans for campaign to recruit
5000 women volunteers to ring
doorbells in residential Washing
ton during the coming 1853 Com
|munity Chest t-USO fund drive

At the same time, Herbert
IBlunck. chairman of the 1853 Red
Feather campaign. appointed Mrs.
Robert E. Freer as chairman Of

tial Unit. for which the women

Ia five-year term as president Of
the Board Of Managers Of the
Florence Crittenton Home. and is
active in many other civic and
club organizations.
Mr.. Blunck, who is manager Of
the Hotel Statler, called women's
participation in the drive zone of
the big jobs of the Chest" and ex-
pressed the opinion that out Of
the campaign will come what con-
stitutes "a fair share" to the
drive.
In accepting the Residential
Unit Craftsmanship. Mrs. Freer
called upon residents of Wash
ington to look upon themselves
as Washingtonians. rather than
Bostonians, New YorkerS or resi-
dents of whatever locale they
have come from. Then, we'd take
a greater civic interest in this
CITY," she said. "and this CAM
paign would 60 over the top"
The 1853 campaigns goal is
81. .150,0 900 for the 102 Red Feather
agencies in Washington, Alexan-
dria and the counties of Arling-
ton, Fairfax, Prince Georges and
Montgomery. This years goal in
cludes the Community Chest Fed
eration's share in the United De-
fense Fund (USO) program. This
represents an increase of 100000
over last years goal and $3.50
more than was raised last au-
tumn. The Residential Units
quota for the 1853 campaign is

secure the flowers in the desired
positions merely by inserting them
between the forked stick.
To make the best use of a shorter
vase. there is another trick of the
trade. Either a straight stick or
one shaped like a slingshot and
placed firmly against the sides OF
the vase. enables the flowers to be
divided into one of. the two or three
compartments provided by the
stick.
But the real trouble. believes
Miyoko, is a tendency for most of
us to use too many flowers in a
single design. 1t is, then, not how
many flowers you have, but rather
what you do with them.
