THANKSGIVING TABLE
ARRANOEhfENTS
| The first arrangement we de
a large or long table. For this
{ we will use one dozen daisy type
j yellow and peach chrysanthemums,
a medium sized papier-mache tur
key (obtainable at the 5c and 10c
| store) four large perfect clusters
jof red and white grapes, several
j length.
I Arrange the wheat in an oval in
! the center of the table so that there
is left a space about 5Va inches wide
Iby 13 inches long. In a low. small
.' vase cbmaihlng a frog or flower
holder with pins, place the pompom
daisies in different- lengths. Place
j this vase in the center of the oval
|space and arrange the turkey and
j grapes about the vase so as to hide
j it from view and still make a lovely
' group. Do not have the stems of
the flowers too long as all dinner
I table arrangements should be fairly
low.
The second arrangement is made
I by placing a medium sized, square
j the table and laying glassy huckle
i berry leaves about its edges. Se
j lect some beautiful fall flowers as
bronze pompoms (chrysanthemums,
I autumn roses) which are obtain
| able in several coral shades, and
* ferrr. Choose a silver bowl and ar
! range them gracefully, placing them
in the center of the plaque. Sil
j very green tapers are placed in
i silver candle holders at each of
j the corners of the plaque. A love
ly arrangement for your table when
j completed.
