The center was left clear and open with beautifully arranged baskets of large size. The front was well fin- ished with a broken line of small stones, about which small plants of Dracaena Sanderiana were arranged with delight- ful afifect. Celestial peppers and vari- ous flowering plants were also used and a feature well carried out was the matching of the ribbons and the various colored flowers. A little farther on was a beautiful table decoration showing what this firm is capable of along this line. There is nothing to describe about this table. It was simplicity itself; just a centerpiece of pink roses and the same flowers on the cloth. That was all, but this was so perfect in its very simplicity that every one was delighted with it. The whole exhibit, in short, is one of the very best things we have seen and an excellent example of the decorator's art. Frauenfelder's booth was lined with birch bark throughout and the same ma- terial was used in baskets, giving quite a_ distinct appearance to the whole ex- hibit.

Below Asparagus plumo- sus chains were festooned and where they were caught up at the pedestals birch bark baskets, each containing a fine bird's nest fern, was placed. On the table at the right of the booth was a birch table charmingly arranged with orchids and ferns, and at the opposite end a fine example of mirror decoration consisting of pandanus, cocos and other Easter lilies and bright red berries, each surmounted with a lighted lantern. Fine bunches of yellow chrysanthemums graced the entrance and all around were small blocks of foliage
