February-Dinner Table Decorations for.

Pretty as the earliest "flowers that bloom in the spring" are, they do not lend themselves very well for table decorations, the majority of them being white or of very pale colour. Foliage, too, is scarce, and it is not always an easy matter to find anything wherewith to fill the vases. Well for those who have dried some golden bracken and some grasses, or who have pressed some ferns during the summer, for they will find them very useful now.

Hot-house flowers, of course, can be had for those who can afford them, but for the many who cannot, we may suggest something less costly. Coloured centres come in well to eke out scanty supplies of flowers, also coloured vases give good effect to white ones. A pretty low decoration can be made with snowdrops and ivy, some of which should be trailed on the cloth.

Golden arbor vitæ, too, is very useful for fringing a cloth, or for trailing with tiny sprays of bright green box. With these, if a few scarlet geraniums can be had, a pretty result can be obtained. There may still be a good supply of chrysanthemums, and they are a host in themselves. They look very pretty in white china vases, such as are now so often used, and which should be put on a coloured ground. Not too many colours in these flowers should be found in one decoration, and blends of yellow and brown, or red and white, are most effective. A quickly arranged dinner table can be furnished with some pretty ferns, in pots tied up with coloured silk; and if some ribbons to correspond are trailed from them, to tie in little bunches to lie on the cloth, it is all that is necessary to make a pretty table.
