Part 4 (2/2)

The rose that lives his little hour Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.

--_Bryant_.

Flowers of all hue and without thorn the rose.

--_Milton_.

A rosebud set with little wilful thorns, And sweet as English air could make her, she.

--_Tennyson_.

Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they be withered.

--_Bible_.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow wille be dying.

--_Herrick_.

Their lips were four red roses on a stalk.

--_Shakespeare_.

And I will make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies.

--_Marlowe_.

These, of course, will be only about half enough, but the hostess can add others to them.

The prize for the best list of answers should suggest roses in some way.

CHRYSANTHEMUM BREAKFAST.

The time ten o'clock. Invitations, to be on a large sized visiting card, this wise:

Mrs. ---- At Home, Wednesday morning, November Seventh, Nineteen -- ---- ten o'clock, 340 ---- Street, Please reply.

Breakfast.

Enclose card in envelope to match.

Have three schemes of color for decorations--white chrysanthemums for parlor, pink for library, and yellow for dining-room.

Serve at small tables, with rich floral center pieces, and handsomely draped with Battenburg, or linen center piece and plate tumbler doylies.

Place cards, two and one-half inches by six in size, should be decorated with a spray of chrysanthemums on a shaded background in water colors, leaving sufficient blank for a name and outlining the top card with cut edges of leaves.
