January-Dinner Table Decorations for.

Where coloured leaves and mosses are obtainable, some left from late autumn may still be found, and these in low receptacles of china or glass furnish a dinner table very prettily.

Some natty little receptacles for small pots may be made at this season, of lichen covered twigs, arranged in rustic form And tied with bright coloured ribbons.

When not able to procure the lichen or mosses from woods and fields, they can be bought ready prepared.

Fruit in January can be used for decorations, specially grapes and Tangerine oranges, and some prettily coloured candied fruits help to make out a dainty table when both foliage and flowers are scarce.

There are plenty of hot-house flowers to be had, a large proportion of which are white, and these should be arranged in coloured vases, specially crimson ones, and strewed on dark-coloured cloths, in both cases mingled with plenty of foliage, coloured, if it can be had.

A pretty decoration can be made of ferns and foliage only, with or without a coloured cloth. Say a rustic pot in the centre made of the lichen covered twigs of which we have spoken, with a graceful fern or plant in it, and trails of ivy twisted in it to trail upon the cloth. Some smaller rustic stands similarly treated, the number and the placing of which should depend upon the size and shape of the table.

To obtain colour some saques or baskets of satin can be made to hold ferns or flowers, while ribbons can be introduced to tie together little bunches of flowers or foliage laid to each person round the table, JANUARY, THINGS IN SEASON. 199 January, Things in Season:-
