MILADY’S BOUTONNIERE
Th« jaunty freshness and gaiety of Spring is embodied in the flower posies now worn on our dresses and coats. Some of the newest are tiny bouquets of crystal flowers, interspersed with silk leaves and buds. Others are all-crystal—a spray of wheat-leaves, caught at the top with a buckle. Bunches of cherries, in realistic red crystal, with white leaves, and red glass flowers arranged in a tight nosegay, are suitable for a very original boutonniere. But flowers are not confined to crystal—they are fashioned from felt, leather and even tin. Verv large bouquets of tin roses are being used at Home on the airiest tulle dresses imaginable.
A very prettv fashion i s to scent your button-hole with its own scent —but very, very delicately. Thus violet flowers are perfumed with violet scent, rose with rose, cyclamen with cyclamen orchid with orchidea. and so on.
Mammoth gardenias in shell-pink and white with buds tucked under the leaves, are the latest fad in Paris. Lacquered pansies, so freshlooking that they may easily be mia. taken for the real, come in attracti’little bunches, and velvety nasturtiums. in warm rich golds and browns. Then there are the large carnations in the new shades of pink and lavender. Certainly this flower fad is a very dainty one.
