May 27—To continue our survey of the Spring Flower Show, we pass along to the Dinner Tables, where there were some very fine examples of the art of flower arrangement on view in both classes. Mrs. S. N. Payne won premier honours in the class in which appointments are permitted, with a low centre-piece of white lupino and roses with plenty of foliage to harmonize with the green design On the Wedgewood dinner set and the green damask cloth: it was a charming combination. Miss Peggy Dunn, who appears to be following in her mother's footsteps, was awarded second prize for a bridal table. In this arrangement, a bouquet of Easter lilies, white larkspur and carnations was placed at one end of the table over a long mirror; a small posy of white flowers being placed on the satin cloth Mrs. W. C. Cassels used a green silk gauze cloth, white porcelain candle-holders and a centre piece of white gladiola, canterbury bells, arum lilies and antirrhinums and for this beautiful combination she was awarded third prize. Mrs. Bourne had lovely chinaware on her table and a rather heavy centre piece full of many flowers in shades of scarlet, while Mrs. MacKay's arum lily floral arrangement and jade green appointments were also deemed worthy of special mention. Mrs. S. K. Squires wi reled first prize in the "no appointments" class and this lady also decided to have white floral arrangements in her two porcelain bowls on a green organdie cloth. White was a favourite colour amongst table decorators at the show under review. The centre piece arranged by Mrs. Ivan MacKay, which won for her the second prize was most artistic, but Mrs. Fraser was not far behind with her de-ceration. the Tea Table section. a large table exhibited by Mrs. David McLorn received the judges' decision. In this arrangement, a tea set of sterling silver embossed on porcelain looked particularly charming on table mats of venetian lace, floral decorations were arranged in two crystal vases on a mirror. In the classes for cut flowers (open section) Mrs.' Shamray-Gramolina's exhibit of Magnolias was outstanding, but there was a lovely bowl of antirrhinums from the Columbia Country Club. It was difficult to choose any of the entries in the members' classes for special mention: there were many artistically arranged bowls and vases. Mrs, Cassels first prize arrangement of exhibits on view always has charming no matter what flowers are
