Dinner and Luncheon Table Decorations 



There were a surprising number of entries in the Table Deco- 

 ration classes. Certainly during the last few years this form of 

 decoration has taken its place among the arts. There were some 

 twenty dinner tables shown on Monday to Thursday and for 

 the rest of the week even a larger numbei of Luncheon tables 

 took their place. The latter were, on the whole, much prettier 

 and better done than the dinner tables but they were all most 

 original and interesting and created a great deal of interest and 

 discussion.
