September-Dinner Table Decorations for.

In the country, one has not far to seek for pretty decorations for the table this month. Should the autumn come in early, and coloured leaves, mosses and berries abound, many of these may be used; but October is the best month for the beautiful tints of autumn in natural foliage. Sheaves of corn are appropriate decorations for this month, and if these be set up round tins which contain water, in which poppies and other corn flowers are placed, so that they blend with the corn, the effect is very pretty. Barley is almost prettier than anything else for this purpose, and the little sheaves should be tied with ribbon of the same colour as the flowers used; thus, scarlet for the poppies, and dark blue for the corn flowers. Alpine poppies of various colours are very useful for table decoration, and look best with very little foliage or only grasses.

Towards the end of this month, golden bracken should be gathered and pressed, to serve for winter decoration.
