November-Dinner Table Decorations for.

In this, generally the most gloomy month of the year, we want something bright for our tables in the way of flowers and foliage.

If hot-house flowers are obtainable, it is an easy task to make a suitable decoration: but the out-door flowers of November are of rather quiet and dark tints.

Chrysanthemums are the most to be depended on of all; and with them very pretty arrangements may be made if the colours be well chosen. Like roses, they look very well in fancy baskets, with high handles, ornamented with flowers and ribbons, which lend additional colour. Foliage for Chrysanthemums may be either their own or ferns, and if coloured autumnal leaves are still obtainable, they should always be used. An old-gold centre of silk puckered in folds, or a plain plush one looks well with the soft tints of the brown and gold flowers, and one of chestnut colour goes well with the white ones.

Silver stands for flowers come in very well for this season, as they form ornaments by themselves, and so eke out scanty supplies.

The drawback, however, to the oldfashioned ones is that they are generally too high, and so impede the view, and it must be borne in mind that in table decoration, this should never occur. The host and hostess should be visible to all their guests, as well as to one another.

Some delicate palms and ferns may tind a place on dinner tables now, and their fronds, though they are higher than the faces of those seated at table, are too light to obstruct the view.
