The Woman who Loves Flowers.

For CHEEKY home look on cold

Brass, copper and unglazed potteries
are the first choice for most places.
There are limitations of bark covered

The dwarf evergreens growing in

cacti make up charming little window

These delicate plants will thrive with

of the flies are of rhinestones or opals,
with perhaps tiny pearl in the wings.
In one exclusive shop the bodies are
of Scotch pebble, which polishes into

Egyptian wings are attached to a long

of rhinestones. The latter are espe-
cially brilliant against the gun metal.
