TABLE DECORATION FEATURE OF SHOW Fifty-Four Entries Made fo~ Chicago Garden and Flower Show· , Table Setting Discussed . Table decorations in the Chicago Garden and Flower show, to he held ~t the Hotel Sherman March 28 to ~pnl 5, furnish one of the most ho~ly contested events. Fifty-four e~tytes ~ave been made in this class, dtvtded mto formal dinner, luncheon,· and. garden tea tables. Each_ club enten!'lg has appointed a comm1ttee to pta~ tt s decoration and three of the tmp_orta~t Loop retail stores are cooperatmg_ m acivising tl\e contestants concernmg china. linen and glass , and are le~d ing from their stock these matenal s fo r the competing tables. Expe~ts connected with the stores h?ld da1ly conferences with club commtttee s on the vital points of colo r scheme s, se rvice, and decorations. · :Miss Penelope Berglund, who is a representative of the AdvisorY:' bureau of one of the large State Street stores savs "The trend in fashion for table setti~gs is away from white and !o'"'·ard color. The table cloth s used llJ:formal dinner tables are dama -'- or linen, brocaded or plain, in the del1cat c shades of all colors. In some ca ses the dinner plate will carry out the arne note in its decoration as the color of the table cloth u sed, while in others a direct contrast may be preferred and the note carried out in the water glasses, the candle s and !he fl or al r enter piece. A very effecttve center piece might incorporate all of the colors shown in the dishe s and decor :-ttions. The colored water ~la s se s are mu ch i11 favor. or the crystal top with the colored stem. Candelabra and flower vases are very popular, with th e mirror base for the center piece. " If contrasting colors are used. it is important that they blend \\;'ell and that no discordant note arises. " For the luncheon tables, doilies are much in us e, as well as table cloths, and pewter service is gaining more and more recognition. although china is still holding it~ own. The color theme may be carried out in the water glasses and whatever · decorations are used. "The garden tea tables are probably the most colorful of all table decorations. Gay colored quimper or porcelain may be used, carrying out th~ color note of a vividlv colored and desi~ned linen table cloth; knives and forks with colored handles, colored water glasses, and a flower centerpiece embodying the entire color scheme of the table." This "color era" gives unlimited possibilities for originality and individual expression, and many interesting and artistic creations are expected to be exhibited in this Fourth Annual Chicag9 Garden and Flower show, at the Hotel Sherman. ..
