Table Decoeations.—Tho use of ferns for table ornamentation, both pressed and fresh, is popular in fashionable houses. Tho fresh are cut to a certain length, placed upon a table in a circle with the points out ; and a glass dish filled with moss is set down upon the circle thus formed. This ornament may be called a mat of ferns, and is considered to be equally pretty with those which arc pressed. Littio wheelbarrows of white wood carved in open patterns are filled with ferns and moss, and set upon a fern mat as above. Small wooden pails are covered with fir cones of two sizes, laid over with gilding, and these are filled with ferns and smilax, and set upon tho table. Sometimes an entire growing fern is taken from its woodland home, and with the earth about it placed in the beautiful shells now so much used in household ornament. The plants thus arranged are set upon the buffet. Oilskin floor-cloth mats are placed beneath, concealed by pressed ferns.
