It was our habit to drape the upper portion with garlands of smilaz, but on this occasion the lady for whom it was done asked me to omit that part of the decoration. She claimed that it would detract from the general effect and, as I went to the other side of the church and looked at the window, I recognized the wisdom of her request. Don't Overdo It. Tho point I wish to emphasize is that many a creditable decoration is spoiled because the decorator does not stop soon enough. Another window of the same kind was done with yellow pan> sies, with standard genistas in the center. Where a decorator is in the habit of doing certain work year after year, it will be continually on his mind. He may run across something as early as Christmas that will suggest his Easter work to him and, if there is merit in the plan, he will have it improved upon and by the time Easter arrives it is only a matter of executing his plan. But some new orders may come in when it is late and he is busy. Above all things, he should spare the time to go and study the surroundings he will be obliged to work in. This may be his first order; he is going to make a new customer by the big decoration, and he should not overlook the prospects that will be among those who admire the work. Whatever the decoration may be, above all things let it be neat. I do not mean by this that it should be in any way cramped or uniform; let it be loose and airy, but let it always con- form to a well defined plan. Tate. COMBmiNO VARIOUS FLOWEBS.
