Decorating the Luncheon Table -By Mary H. Northend,

Purple grapes, apples and bananas grouped in a green and white basket. 

 Asparagus fern is used sparingly but effectively. Small crystal candlesticks 

 complete this centrepiece 



A low basket filled with apples, pears, etc.. brightly colored leaves, which 

 repeat the tints of the fruit, outlining the basket upon the table. The 

 handle is twined with the leaves 



A toy wheelbarrow forms the basis of this novel decoration. Strings of smilax 

 are so twined and interwoven as to partially conceal the wheelbarrow, which 

 is filled with fruit 



In this the pineapple rests on a tin pan hidden by asparagus fern. Around 

 it are grouped blue grapes, yellow bananas, and oranges. The fern fronds lend 

 the finishing touch 



Russet pears, red apples and bananas, heaped in a graceful wicker basket, 

 decorated with leaves and ferns 



TTse laurel or lilac leaves when little color is wanted. They are particularly 

 effective with red and yellow apples.
