woven. Then she fitted it to the floor,
sized it, and painted in oils, with bright
border around it, and punches of roses and
other flowers over the center. She took
also some common wooden chairs and cat
out figures of gilt paper, gluing them on

he gasped out: Dye think we can heav
all this and heaven too?"
