LUNCHEON TABLE DECORATIONS. 



Accompanying this note is the picture 

 of a round luncheon table decorated for a 

 party of eight. The color scheme is 

 white and green, and the center-piece is 

 a star of Boman hyacinths and smilax. 

 The central point of the star is a vase 

 eight inches high, containing fifty Ro- 

 mans. Around this, traced freehand with 

 strings of smilax, is the outline of a 

 star. After outlining the design rough- 

 ly, lay on extra pieces of smilax to 

 make the edges the same thickness all 

 around. Smilax will keep the star form 

 by being merely laid on the cloth; no 

 pinning or wiring is necessary. 



Next, just within each point, is placed 

 a crystal candlestick holding a green can- 

 dle and a silver filigree shade. After 

 this, separate three or four strings of 

 smilax into the small strands of which 

 they are composed. Fasten one end of 

 one of these small strings around a can- 

 dlestick, about one-third of the way up, 

 and carry the strand to the center vase 

 and fasten there. It should be draped 

 loosely. This forms the center line of 

 one of the points of the star. Fill the 

 center lines of the other points in the 

 same way. Then run these light strings 

 of smilax to other points on the outline 

 of the star till you have made a network 

 of green from the center vase to the edge 

 of the star all around. No fastening is 

 necessary. The sprays will hold them- 

 selves in place if set in deep among the 

 hyacinths in the vase and will catch 



among the heavier foliage on the edge. 

 After the green part of the star has 

 been completed, trim about one-half the 

 stems from fifty Romans and scatter 

 them on top of the edge of the smilax 

 which outlines the star. Set the stems 

 well down among the smilax leaves and 

 let flowers fall along the smilax length- 

 wise, and the star is completed. 



The place cards for the table were 

 white stars with green edges done in 

 water colors. The favors were smilax 

 boas, each one a yard long, the light 

 end being doubled back and a small 

 piece added to make the thickness uni- 

 form. Half a dozen hyacinths were dotted 

 along each boa and at one end was a 

 white tulle bow. This end of the boa 

 was laid at the place and the other end 

 thrown over the back of the chair. The 

 hostess set the example of placing the 

 boa as the guests were seated. It was 

 necessary, of course, to fasten the hya- 

 cinths on the boas with fine wire, and 

 just as necessary to wrap the sharp ends 

 of the wires back to conceal their scratch- 

 ing qualities. The boas required one 

 and one-fourth strings of smilax each, 

 one-half dozen hyacinths and one-half 

 yard of tulle. In the star there were 

 used nine strings of smilax and 100 Bo- 

 mans and one string festooned the chan- 

 delier overhead, making a total of two 

 dozen smilax and 150 Romans. The table 

 was six feet in diameter.
