"f Zeuschoso ub a king
Of thellowers in hie tnirlb,
lie would call fur Mio rose
And would royally crown it;
For tho rose, ho. the rose!
Ib tho grace of tho earth,
And tho Tight of tho plnnts
That are growing upon it."
At this time of the year no bouquet is
perfect without roses somewhere in it
and the one that fashion favors is tho
Madame Cusin. In the city, orchids
are usually added to a "6hower" bouquet
on account of tho grace of their long
wire liko stems. When these are too
dear, the delicate green ferns give u
charming contrast .
A singlo rose is not permissable for a
gentleman under tho present regime.
He should wear one rose encircled with
violets or a bunch of mignonette with
white carnations surrounding it or
violets and small white buds intermingl
ed. For the theatre or a danco it is
graciouB for tho lady to prepare a
boutonnier for her escort, especially jf
he has tent her tloweis.
All table decorations are preferred
flat in order not to obstruct tho vision
of gues'p. At a grand dinner American
Beauties are the favorites. Usually ar
ranged in an oblong basket with their
heads falling from either side agaiust
tho white cloth with heavy ferns and
reset: twined about the handles.
Artists declare for long elender glass
vases for a parlor so the stems may be
seen as well as the blossom. Never mix
to different kinds of flowers as ii is
correct now to imitate Japanese sim
plicity. In that country a long appren
ticeship is necersary to learn flower
arrangement and in the largo cities
there are teachers in this art. As one
of the league instructors remarked to
bis Japanese pupils "Follow out your
own thoughts. Tho artistic world is
coming to you for ideas.'
An elaborate reception was that g'ven
by Dr. and AIis. F. IL Eddy at their
home in east Lincoln, complimentary to
Mrs. Eddy's mother Mrs. Canfield and
her aunt Mrs. Sailing of Manistee,
Michigan. The guests were received in
the east parlor w hich was decorated in
yellow and white. Bowls of Marshal
Neil roses, jonquils and hyacinths
altogether forming a charming back
ground for the dainty gowns of the re
ceiving party. Mrs. Eddy wore a be
coming gown of light blue. The bodice
of solt chiffon trimmed in points of pass
ementerie and ribbons over a foundation
of light blue silk, dccollette, gave a soft
ened effect to the handsome skirt of blue
inoirc rtloute silk. Blue aigrettes on
her hair with diamond ornaments. M rs.
Canfield wore an imported gown of blue
inoirc veloure. llic bodice was the
creation of an artist and was trimmed in
ennine fur, an embroirdered net vest
over white satin with blue velvet,
duchesselace and silk passementerie.
Her toilet was set off by handsome
diamonds on her gown and in her hair.
Mrs. Salling'6 gown was a beautiful
black moire veloure silk trimmed in a
square jet jacket over a vest of embroir
deted net over lavender satin. Diamonds.
The red shades and meteor roses of the
back parlor were in striking contrast to
the delicate green and white in the
library and dining rooms. The more
eubstantial foods weie served by pretty
girls in dainty capes, collars and aprons
n the dining room. A large bowl of
East rlillies occupied the center of tho
table which 6hown with exquisite linen,
china and silver. Bows of broad green
satin ribbon and white chrysanthemums
were placed on tho four corners. Green
and white were carried out in tho color
of the bon-bons, in tho ribljons which
were tied around them and tho paper
shells used.
In the library.where ices and cake and
candies were dispensed a beautiful
center piece of white hyacinths carna
tions and maidenhair fcins graced a
table which was covered by a cloth of
white swiss over green. Tho occasion
was enlivened by the strains of Hag
