NATURE AS A GUIDE. 



On more than one occasion have 1 

 been asked if a knowledge of art was 

 necessary for one desirous of arrang- 

 ing flowers tastefully, the blending ol 

 colors being the first consideration. 

 One must not of necessity be an artist 

 in the strictest sense in order to ac- 

 complish such an end. as the means 

 are at the disposal of any who will 

 become the simplest student of nature. 

 The fields, the forests and streams, 

 the mountainside, beautiful land- 

 scapes, glorious sunsets, all gorgeous 

 in bewilderingly beautiful tints are 

 but few of the examples furnished by 

 nature for man's study. He who will 

 but observe and copy them is not apt 

 to go astray, as there is naught in na- 

 ture but what is abundant in har- 

 mony. What is most desired is an 

 avoidance of those hideous combina- 

 tions of color too often handed out as

Xo more striking illustration of the 

 pernicious practice of color abuse can 

 be found than that furnished by the 

 fashionable milliner whose product of 

 the present day must, in many in- 

 stances, offend one's sight, but is ac- 

 cepted because it is purely Parisian. 

 Imagine a bonnet or hat trimmed with 

 black, blue and green roses, red lily 

 of the valley and white foliage to- 

 gether with equally frightful matter 

 fashioned into a heterogeneous mass, 

 and you may be sure of such a pro- 

 duction adorning the head of a met- 

 ropolitan belle. As is well known to 

 all. the sense of seeing being more 

 delicate than either of the others, is 

 most easily and lastingly offended. An- 

 other instance has just come to my 

 mind, and in order to show how deeply 

 an impression may be made by things 

 unpleasant, will tell of a dinner party 

 given by one of Boston's most promi- 

 nent men about town and practical 

 joker, to a number of female friends 

 at a fashionable hotel. A noted florist
