A triangle design wrought with rowan berries is a new idea, and looks charming when carried out as shown in the illustration at the top of the page. the berries have been cut quite short and the triangle formed of them with their serrated leaves on either side.

Many people avoid terra-cotta flowers for table use, but when used in conjunction with pale blue and plenty of shining silver they are remarkably attractive.

To arrange the table, form a lattice work of ribbon in the form of a diamond. The palest blue satin ribbon, about one inch wide, is best for the purpose. In the centre of this stand the tall vase, and the smaller ones at the corners of the ribbon centre, connect the corner vases to the centre with garlands of ribbon, which should be tied in a pretty bow round the stem of each vase.

The candle-shades should bo blue, with a silver fringe; the menu cards also blue, with a bow of silver cord tied in one corner of each. The dinner rolls, also, might be bound with pale-blue bebe ribbons, and the cheese straws with silver cord.

The aster is a formal flower, and does not look graceful in vases, but it is useful and effective for designs on the table.

The variety grown with large blossoms in a pretty shade of rose pink look well on the white cloth. Arrange them in circles with a vase of autumn leaves in the centre of each circle. Place circles of them also around the candelabra, around which also should be twined a spray of autumn leaves.
