July-Dinner Table Decorations for. There is not much difficulty in finding table decorations in July, when flowers are so plentiful, and so many kinds are in season; but it is not the time for gay coloured ones to be used. The cooler, greener and softer the arrangements of the decorations, the pleasanter the effect in hot weather. A glass plateau with a centre pieco of iris of pale shades arranged in moss, with a few water lilies laid flat on the plateau forms a pretty decoration, especially if the border be mossed over and fringed with small fern and grass, so as to give the effect of a lake.

Where wild flowers can be obtained they should often be used for the table, as such kinds as marguerites, or cornflowers mingle so well with grasses and look extremely pretty. Grasses are in perfection, both water and field ones, and the latter should be dried for winter use.
