 HOLIDAY TABLE DECORATIONS

"Christmas Afternoon Tea"
  

   

"Place a lace cover or one of drawn-work, circular in shape, on a round table, and a block of ice draped with smilax and holly in the center. A Japanese umbrella edged with lanterns at intervals and a fanciful Japanese doll may ornament the center. In preparing the ice for table decoration choose a square block; chip in the center a hollow; after laying a napkin in a silver dish, place the ice upon it and cover the dish with greens, filling the cavity with flowers."

FROM: The Delineator, 1903
