Hints On Decorating Table With Flowers Floral table decoration for parties, dinners, aiid for everyday enjoyment is becoming a more general custom each year. $ . A few years ago, - it began to be tho?cvi* torn?to?iii'CDi ute?tables Tor" formal banquets wiith special floral designs. The effect of such decorations on the people in attendance at these formal affairs was so pronounced that there came f*> Ik* a demand for a less pretentious, more informal type of decoration for home dinners. * From that has grown the custom of regular, daily decoration o? im- dinner mole witn a simple, economical but beautiful arrangement of flowers und foliage. Such an arrangement of flowers, hostesses have discovered, is more practical than the vase on the table; for the foliage is generally laid flat on the board, and the flowers are usually displayed in flat dishes, which are not liable /to be overturned. Potato Shipment* Those having sweet potatoes" for sale (U. S. Grade No. 1) will please Saturday, March 21st, stating the number of bushels, advises Henry D. Green, tjie county agent. Mrs. Agnes Piotrowsky of Detroit, Mich., at Bardstown, Ky., on Friday induced her son Anthony, charged with murder, to enter a plea of guilty' and accept the commonwealth attorney's offer of a life sentence, rather than stand trial and risk th^ tflectrie chair, as a companion had done and was sentenced to death. The boys murdered a Ixiuisville motorist. ?) Cool Weather IJas Retarded Gardens <r ' ! Charleston, S. C., March IS.?An unseasonably cool apriivg has so delayed flowers in this section that ,in the opinion (>? the owners of the internationally famous M'agnoliu Cardens near Charleston, the j>eak of Azalea bloom will not be reached this season before Raster week. In recent years the Azaleas have been abundant by Mareh 20th, but this spring the 16th of Tffarch found few bushes in bloom. Indications are now that because of the retarded development of bloom they will not be profuse before April 1st and that the/peak will be reached between April 5th and 15th, according to C. N. Mastic and J. J. I^ringle Sinit^ respective owners of .Magnolia and Middlwton Gardens. I he < a me 11.a Japonica, which many .prefer to the muss of Azalea colors, have been favorably affected by the urn^r.? ni > 1 weather for they ure now in gorgeous bioom and have not yet attained their height of beauty, although lust year at this time the Camellias were almost over. The weather this winter in Charleston has been unusually cool, as was the case all over the South, but it has "not been severe enough to harm any of the flowers; merely to slow up their bloom. Horticulturists predict that when the Azaleas do blaze forth in a couple of weeks they will excel in beauty the gorgeous spectacle? of recent .seasons. . Inquiries from over the nation is to the gardens give. reason to believe that an even greater number of persons will make the pilgrimage this Aipril to - Magnolia and Middle tola" Place than was the case last year. Because of the late season the owners ef both gardens have decided to allow the gai'dehs to remain open to the public later than usual. They probably will not be closed' before May 10th whereas in previous years May 1st has been the closing date. Hog Shipment Those having hogs for shipment please notify the county agent not later than Saturday, March 21st. stating number and weight, advises Henry D. Green, the county agent. Kdward E. Denison, former congressman from Illinois for 16 years, was on Friday acquitted by a Wash-" ington jury on a charge of violation of the prohibition laws, the specific charge being possession.
