Say It With Flowers

Wh'/.i \seitding cut fiowex\s to a friend it is not always practical, but always courteous, to send the type of hlossoxxx that your friend would choose herself. A busy mother, for exaxxxple, xnay xxot have tinxe to cave for roses, and though they axe beautiful for a time, chrysanthenxums and flowers of that type are nxore suitable and practical for lxxany homes. Whexx flowers are sent to be worn, they should alway be chosexx with an eye to the recipient's costunxe. A young man who seixds a corsage to a girl for a daxxce should as'k her what colour she would like to have. If there isn't time for this courtesy, camellias or gardenias are always in good taste. They might fit a giid's colour scheme better than orchids (or would you "A;fbr torchids axxyway, girls?). The guest of honour at a luncheon or dinner is usually given a corsage and the other speakers find sxixaller corsages at their table places. Nosegays can be worn with almost any costume, or two gardenias are in good taste for an evening costume; oxxe is enough for a tailored street costume.
