the candle in place, there is fitted a container 16' over the candle and slid downwardly
for support upon the upper end of the upstanding portion 13 of the candlestick holder.
This container has a central tubular upstanding sleeve portion 17 providing a vertical
opening 18 to accommodate the candle 16. The upstanding sleeve portion 17 extends
upwardly beyond the upper edge of flange 20 to accommodate a separate annular
shaped grill or perforated member 21 having a central opening 22 adapted to receive
the upper end of the sleeve portion 17 and sufficiently wide to extend over the flange 20
and rest thereupon. This member 21 is also preferably made of plastic or transparent
material. The opening 22 has diametrically opposed notches 23 and 24 adapted to
respectively permit the member 21 to be set over diametrically-opposite
radially-extending projections 25 and 26 on the upper end of the sleeve portion 17.
After the member 21 is in place and has been rotated slightly so that the notches are
out of registry with the projections 25 and 26, the member 21 is locked upon the flange
20 of the container and held against disengagement therefrom. With the container 16'
in place upon the candlestick holder, the same can be partly filled with water and
thereafter the grill member 21 can be fitted over the sleeve portion 17 and rotated to be
locked under the projections 25 and 26. With the member 21 in place and the arranger
fully assembled upon the candlestick, flower stems 27 can be inserted through any one
of a plurality of holes 28 in the member 21 and into the water contained therein.
