PAGE EIGHT lb OREGON STATESMAN Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning. December 11, 1941 Garden Club Display Is Colorful By MAXINE BUREN "I'm so inspired, I'll make my own wreaths this year" was the expression of several women at the Christmas decoration show given by the Salem Garden club yesterday at the Art Center. Hundreds of visitors looked wide-eyed at the displays of wreaths, table pieces, garlands and corsages arranged especially for the Christmas season. . Most surprising thing about the show to many was the ex traordinary use of familiar greens. Good old cedar and Douglas fir, known to all west erners, seemed to take on a crispness not ordinarily seen. Blue spruce was one of the most effective greens. Garlands of evergreens made showy borders around the rooms, each terminating in a long swag, enhanced by a cluster of . cones, a bunch of red berries or guild ed leaves. Garlands make very practical decorations for the liv ingroom. Over one of the mantlepieces, used as a decorative note in the main gallery of the Art Center, garlands were hung, terminating with a large, unusually beauti ful wreath at either side. The two were circles of feathery bronze-colored cryptomeria in the center and blue spruce around the outside.

Artistic Wreaths Large and small wreaths would inspire any housewife to go home and make up a few for decorating. One green used in many of the wreaths, in com bination with darker shades, was a variagated cedar-like green - which shows splotches of yellow amid the green. Once it was used with white berries. One wreath was unusual with its flat evergreen vibernum leaves and silver and blue tree ornaments. Rose haws came in for their share of importance when they appeared to brighten up wreaths, add color to vase arrangements and to appear guilded among the greenery of table centerpieces. Glistening Christmas tree or naments stood in contrast to the dull green of cedar or spruce to ornament wreaths, swags for the front door or to appear in cen terpieces. Madonna arrangements began with the large figure in cream tones, surrounded by greens, white berries and holly; contin ued with a number of delicately chisled figures arranged for the mantel and miniature glass ma donnas surrounded by silvered branches of delicate shrubs. One intricately carved wooden figure centered a mantel arrangement. Colorful Packages Christmas packages were many, adding brilliance to the display. Most of the packages were done in bright colored pa per and tied with gay ribbons. Many were ornamented with greens, one was wrapped in quaint print gingham, shellacked and decorated with a spray of green. Even the birds were remem bered, for there was a small Christmas tree, decorated in cranberry wreaths, popcorn strings and other choice tid-bits. The punch table was another feature of the decorative scheme the brass punch bowl reflected varicolored bangles which hung from tall candlesticks. The table was covered with a green mar quisette cloth and was flanked by two trees ornamented en tirely in red. The show, originally planned for only two days, is being held over Friday, the committee re vealed. All proceeds from the silver tea being held in connec tion with the show will be turned over to the local committee on national defense, Miss Edith Schryver, president of the Gar den club, announced Wednesday.
