ARTISTIC ARBANGEMENTS. 



Basket of Roies. 



The French basket shown in the illus- 

 tration was especially arranged for an 

 effective photograph, the flowers being 

 a little more loosely arranged than would 

 ordinarily have been the case. The ex- 

 quisite coloring of Mme. Abel Chatenay 

 rose gives a peculiar charm to this ar- 

 rangement. It is the work of Charles 

 Henry Fox, at the Sign of the Rose, 

 Philadelphia.

 clerks of the war department at Wash- 

 ington died. He had been a telegraph 

 operator before he was appointed to his 

 clerkship and had worked in the tele- 

 graph division in the war department 

 for some years. When his fellow op- 

 erators learned of his death they de- 

 termined to send a floral tribute, and 

 a collection was taken up and order 

 given to the florist to make a lai-ge pil- 

 low of flowers and mark in the center 

 the figures 73, which in telegraph lan- 

 guage means the signal between op- 

 erators, 'My compliments and remem-
