required number of games when the

Lavender pillows are the latest COM
forts for tired heads. and the bare
thought of the clean, refreshing scent
seems to give relief. Certainly they are
likely to be much more inviting tina the
pine needle cushions that are used for
the same purpose. The covers are made
of heliotrope-colored linen prettily em-
broidered with fiat threads of the same
tint, but in paler shades. Others are
covered with white linen and are decor
ated with spikes of the lavender flowers
worked in the natural colors. These
cushions are a development of the laven-
