In Eu poan famllics, whose china is an heirloom, are Yul Ngures ate placed alung the table, sometimca usefal (as when holding baskow with salt, or ylolets if you will), sometimes merely ornamon- tal. Lyon huge vases worth their woignt in wilver aro 60 placed, or ilowets growing in Sevrea pots, or stiawberry plants each with three or tour berrice, one pliant bofore each guoat, as fasbion dictated for two winters at a cortain European court. ‘fho chandelier may be hung with Hlowera, but wax-candies in china oc silver candelabra givo w richer look to tho table, aud a sofcer light a¢ well.
