Chrysanthemums arranged in a bright pottery vase are effective if small daisies are placed among the blossoms. To preserve an effect of lightness and grace, the flowers should not be massed too closely together

Lilies in a silver stand surrounded with small pots of growing ferns give a simple colour contrast that is restful and soothing The line of trailing smilax on the table-cloth affords an additional and extremely attractive effect

January roses, with their own foliage, in crystal vases of graduated heights, placed upon an oblong mirror, bordered with sprays of maidenhair fern, present a very dainty appearance. The mirror is an invaluable aid to effective table decoration. If a mirror is not available, a sheet of plate glass forms an excellent substitute, and can be cut to any size desired
