and they are made of flowers" said a
pretty woman smiling at herself in the
glass and nipping her already pink cheeks
with her finger tips, Japanese fashion.
Il read the other day that one OF the smart
hats Of the season would be trimmed with

best hats.
You know that some colore are more
trying than others and the flower tones
