rely much on ingenuity for their sharm. "Something different" what we all want to achieve. But above all, the general appearance of the table must be pleasing, without looking over-dressed or extravagant In arrangement.

Tea cloths are often adorned with flowers embroidered In coloured thread scattered all over the surface. For the dining and luncheon tablo there is a new kind of glass, made In- to all kinds of servers and dishes. It gives a charming air to the table. blending well with the other appoint- ments.
Few Flowers, Well Set
The decoration In the 'centre of the table also gives much scope to your Ingenuity.
A few flowers may be eked out very gracefully by those long, alender candles fixed in a flower holder, Among them, green or white candles look lovely with while flowers in a white bowl with a few dark green leaves.
Wreaths of flowers around a small circular mirror make a lovely centre plece for a round table. Three or five enndles should be fixed at In- levals among the flowers. If you do not want to lay the flowers on to the table, they can be arranged in a cir- cular trough.
When you have not any flowers, green leaves with red berries (real or artifelal) together with slender candles to match the berries can make a charming substitute.
