Lemon yellow, continues to be an
acceptable color. , It was launched
by the French in February and by
the Americans in April, and now
the public finds in it a color that is
cool to weir and cool to see. Apple
reen is its rival - r
AN artistic woman who never
overloads her little, home with
trashy bric-a-brac has . just one
weakness in this line, and that is a
suitable vase jor every bouquet of
flowers that comes her way. In
stead of a motley collection of
statuary and useless knick-knacks
she has a cupboard with perhaps
two dozen vases in it. These, of
course, are never all displayed at
the same time. ;
Hr rooms have the charming
distinction that simplicity and just
the right thing for the place has.
for, like the Japanese, who are said
to hang and enjoy one picture only
at a time, her-vases are used only
two or three at a time and are al
ways exquisitely in harmony both
with the particular place in which
they are set and the flowers or
green which they'hold. - Thus is the
absence of practically every other
bit of bric-a-brac except pictures on
the walls compensated tor.
In springtime a fat little bowl,
whose gray glaze has orange opal
escent tints in it, holds gay orange
marigolds, while later in the season
it is likely to hold colorful nastur
tiums of two or three shades., A
wine colored juklike vase is a sym
phony jn the ,ruby shades when
holding' half a' dozen dark red car
nations. For roses, so beautiful in
themselves, she prefers simple glass
holders. A tall vase with no cut
ting or etching upon.it holds stem
med ones.. and a glass basket holds
the short stemmed ones with few
petals, like wild roses. "
Daisies," so cool and white in sum
mer, go into either a wall basket of
green pottery woven, over with1
wicker or a blue and white jar of
Japanese design. In "another jar of
dull -yellow, without any design up
on it, go masses of ferns.' For the
rich red and orange dahlias of late
,ummer there are artistic dark
brown baskets, of course fitted with
flower holders inside. Then "this
woman with such good instincts for i supply of
interior decoration has a supply ot , gives one
the shallow bowls, with such pleas
ign lines, that are so much in vogue.
A gray and blue one of Japanese
ware is one of her favorite holders
during the winter for Chinese lilies
and clumps of household ferns,' such
as sprays from a luxurious pot of
sword ferns. A dull green one is
one of the most atfractive holders
that can be used for either white
or purple fleur de lis, and still an
other one is of glazed blue pottery
and is most effective when' holding
such pink flowers as gladiolus, lark
spur, foxglove, zinnias, and even
pink geraniums.
And the best part of this vase
hobby is that collecting a modest
suitable flower holders
useful ornaments that
please everyone, rather than a large
collection of bric-a-brac that1 can
not honestly be called, many times,
much more than "junk."
