Major Spencer asked Clifton Sloane, an Improver who drove the milk to the Carmody cheese factory, if it was true that everybody would have to have his milk-stand hand-painted next summer and keep an embroidered centerpiece on it.
And we know that the only way to have real job security in the future, to get a good job with a growing income, is to have real skills and the ability to learn new ones. So we've got to streamline today's patchwork of training programs and make them a source of new skill for our people who lose their jobs. Reemployment, not unemployment, must become the centerpiece of our economic renewal.
The Admiral glowed with pride of her. "She'll carry it off," he said to himself; "it's in her blood." "Dinner is served," announced Jenkins from the doorway, and then Miss Danvers came down and greeted Justin, and they all went out together. There was holly for a centerpiece, and four red candles in silver holders.
In the middle of each table, rising from a centerpiece of ferns, was a green silk pennant, bearing the figures 19 embroidered in scarlet. The staffs of the two pennants were wound with green and scarlet ribazine which extended in long streamers to each place, and was tied to dainty hand-painted pennant-shaped cards, on which appeared the names of the guests.
Pantin inquired mechanically: "Will you have a chop, Prissy?" Since there were only two he did not use the plural. Mrs. Pantin looked across the fern centerpiece and made a mouth as she regarded the chop doubtfully. "I'm afraid I am eating too much meat lately."

Daughters-in-law and husbands moved up toward a pair of doors swung heavily backward by two servants. Mrs. Isadore Meyerburg pushed her real-lace bodice into place and adjusted the glittering lizard.
"Mamma, Ma'Lou says that they used to give lunches at the college, and fix the floral centerpiece so it would all come apart, and each guest could draw a bunch of it with a ribbon. Oh, I don't understand very well, but she can tell you it's just beautiful, and we could make it out of the chrysanthemums in the side yard, she says." Mrs. Kendrick looked uneasy.

The butter plate is frequently omitted from this meal, an oblong slice of bread, a dinner roll, or a bread stick being placed between the folds of each napkin, or on the butter plate, if used, with the butter ball and knife.
Half way between the centerpiece and the plates a line of dancing figures ran around the table linked to each other by chains made of wee golden hearts. Ethel Blue had drawn and painted these paper dolls, so that each represented one of the Club members and they served as place cards as well as ornaments. "I seem to see myself in Miles Standish's armor," said James.
