Eastertide I.nacheons.
The decorations for Eastertide lunch
eon tables are naturally the spring
blossoms. A tall, slender crystal vase
of golden daffodils is n fitting orna
ment for the table of bouor. The best
method of arrangement for all bnt
the long stemmed dallies Is the flat
or low centerpiece; One woman, won
dering how she could best arrange the
short stemmed crocus and hyacinth,
bit upon this original scheme; She
filled a platter with sand monnded up
lu the middle, In which she set small
bottles of water, covering the spaces
between the bottles with moss. In
each bottle she placed a bunch of vio
lets or a crocus. This made an ad
mirable centcrplcco and one which
mystified her guests.

The significance of Eastertide, view-
ed In Its' religious aspect, is without a

dclpbla Times, are so constructed that
they can rise superior to the blandish
