short wooden benches sold in the home
furnishing shops. These are painted in
white or delicate shades of enamel paint

glish violets painted on the legs and
! along the side pieces. The cushion is
covered with a white silk, dotted with
lunches of heliotrope violets. The

held in place by Il broad band of hello
trope ribbon, passed around under the
