Never stand tall flowers in the centre of the table. It annoys people when they cannot see the person they are talking to opposite. A bowl with floating flowers is a pretty table centre. When flowers are over, red berries, cut short and arranged in a black, bright blue or orange bowl, look charming. An inexpensive and novel way to heat up a room or boil a kettle is to get a bath-brick and soak it in kerosene and place it in the fire-grate and set alight, and it will burn long enough to boil a tin kettle. Warms a bedroom pleasantly, too. Soak again when burnt out and quite cold.”
