One OF the loveliest of designs is the
arbor, or bower, constructed entirely OF
roses. The light pillars which support
the roof should be quite concealed by
blossoms. Branches of trees and ever
green may form the roof and the inside is
frescoed as il were with the
queen of flowers. "Ropes" OF them
may be gracefully festooned from tree to
tree, branch to branch, upon portico, or
