December-Dinner Table Decorations for.

Those with hot-houses and their supplies of flowers and foliage at their disposal for table decoration will have no trouble with the floral arrangement of their dinnertables; there is always (or should be) an abundance of coloured and green foliage, even if flowers be scarce; but those not possessing these luxuries are often sorely troubled how to decorate. A plush centre of rich colour such as red or old gold renders but little in the way of flowers necessary; but if this can be fringed with holly and brown ivy, it adds greatly to its effect. Upon these centre pieces of dark tint, white china vases look better than almost any other kind, and in them growing ferns such as maidenhair or pteris may well take the place of flowers, the cloth itself giving the colour. Tiny palms, too, such as cocus weddeliana, are even more delicate and light in appearance than ferns.

Still, for those who consider flowers indispensable, there are some that can be procured. Chrysanthemums of many tints should still be had, and the yellow and brown ones have a soft, rich effect when intermingled. To all decorations for whatever season the same rule applies: whatever flowers are used the receptacles for them should be chosen to harmonize with their mode of growth and colour. Lowgrowing flowers in high stands, and those with long stalks in squat vases or brackets, being unnatural, can never look well.
