FLOATING FLOWERS.

A FAVOURITE DECORATION. Dried flowers-heads for floating in large shallow bowls make a favourite table decoration just now. Dahlias and roses are most effective, but the secret of how to dry the blooms is not yet shared by many. Flood lit bowls of flowers are a very much up-to-date touch in rooms. They often stand on an electrical fitting of glass mounted on a flat wooden stand. The bowls are encircled by < blue light. Other coloured lights could be used, such as green, pink, red, golden or yellow. A NEW TEAPOT. COSIES SUPERFLUOUS. Tea cosies have been made superfluous by the invention of a teapot that keeps its contents hot all by itself. The secret of the pot, which is cream-coloured china as seen from Ihe outside, is a chromium-plated casing with a lining of heat-resisting felt. Moreover, the teapot can be stood on any polished surface without fear of marking it. DISH RESTS. TO KEEP DISHES WARM. Amber or green containers and metal tops on which to rest a dish whose contents you wish to keep warm are useful. They are ornamental enough to stand on the tables and the heat is provided with patent heater-lights bought by the box quite cheaply. Smaller sized “warmers,” circulartopped, are designed for coffee-pots.
