Washington florist has arranged one
Of his show windows In such "a unique
manner as to attract the attention OF
every pedestrian passing that way. The
rustic and aquatic are the dominant
features In the arrangement which Is
withaI artistic enough 10 cause one TO
pause for a second lock.
But the inhabitants Of the aquarium in
the bottom Of the window invariably
excite interest, then pleasure and then
comment. An old-fashioned Dutch wind
mill at the top OF the window at the
rear, is turned by a stream Of water
flowing onto the paddles. The water
trickles on down over rocks oruamented
with ferns. moss, and trailing vines,
into a basin. where about four inches Of
depth remain. In this water are a dozen
or more turtles and terrapin, and a few
gold fish. which swim ia and out Of the
crevices between the rocks and hide un-
der the large lily pads on the surface Of
the water.
The florists idea is. Of course, to adver-
tisa his lilies. and the turtles and fish
are added 10 he.ghten interest The tur-
ties would not attract so much attention
If the florist had not ingeni0usly labeled
them.
