In the dining and drawing rooms tender
young wiidfowers were used 10 relieve the
uniform green of the palms and the many
growing plants arrayed with artistic effect
about the apartments.
But quite the most attractive of all these
adornments were the true lovers knots
which stood out in bright relief from the
dark wood walls.

ers' knots. They were coauettishly tied
to picture frames bonbon dishes and
vases, and they formed border of delicate
| raised-work on the snowy damask table
cloth. In the library there were blue true
lovers knots and white true lovers knots
and they even found a place amid the Sc
we're decorations OF the drawing-room.
