The flower store at 1203 Sutter street, 

 recently purchased from Mr. Shibeley 

 by the Nelligan Sisters, who are con- 

 ducting the business under that title, 

 presents a metamorphosed appearance 

 to the passer-by. The shop is in an ex- 

 cellent location on a busy transfer cor- 

 ner and the exterior has been painted 

 in pale gray. The interior has been 

 refinished in a similar tone, with the 

 floor space pleasingly cleared in order 

 that the blooms may be displayed to the 

 best advantage. A large mirror is ar- 

 ranged on one side, giving an appearance 

 of spaciousness and repeating the flower 

 display in a delightful manner. The 

 floor is covered with light, tile-patterned 

 linoleum and the furnishings, including 

 desks and chairs, are of painted wicker 

 upholstered in refreshing cretonne. 

 Luke J. Uzick, formerly employed by 

 the Baldwin Flower Shop, is in charge 

 of the buying for the new establish- 

 ment. 



A wedding of importance this week 

 was held at the Fairmont hotel and 

 decorated by A. O. Stein. The scene of 

 the ceremony was the dignified Empire 

 room, the color scheme being carried out 

 in lavender and pink. At either side of 

 a white altar were arranged tall columns 

 of hydrangeas and gladioli of lavender 

 hues, accented here and there with deli- 

 cate pink blossoms. The single large 

 table was decorated with lavender flow- 

 ers arranged en masse and tied with 

 pink and lavender tulle. The delicate 

 beauty of the whole scheme was height- 

 ened by the appropriate lighting, en- 

 tirely of eandles. The bride's bouquet 

 was of cyclamens and gardenias, while 

 the bridesmaids carried bracelet bou- 

 quets of Columbia roses and carnations. 

 Another wedding scheduled for the lat- 

 ter part of the week in St. Luke's will 

 be decorated by this shop also. Both 

 church and home will be decorated, as a 

 reception is to be held after the wedding 

 ceremony. 



A. O. Stein is back from a most en- 

 joyable vacation and N. Marcus, one of 

 the decorators, left last week for south- 

 ern California to spend about a month 

 at Catalina island and other points of 

 interest. 



An attractive Satsuma ware display 

 is arranged in the windows of the Corlis 

 shop in Sutter street, which Mrs. H. 

 Corlis states is proving its popularity 

 by a constantly growing demand for the 

 bits of hand-decorated china. A recent
