~ call for an old fashioned design
and nothing appeared more appro-
pirate to match the furnishings of the
country house for which it was designed
than the apple blossom and fruit, so con-
ventionalized motifs of the flower and bud
filled twelve divisions of space about the
rim, while similar motifs were carried in
toward the centre, the spaces diminishing
in number until they converged to a cir
cular disk within which the fruit itself, in
conventionalized form. was seen.
MANY girls are painting sets for their

such rising tendency when Morrissey
came pedaling along on his bicycle.
He felt that he could make the op-

While the bridge rose he scooted up
the incline.
When he reached the top he saw .
small chasm opening onto the river.
The other side of the bridge was sew.
eral feet distant. and the distance was
increasing. Morrissey couldn't have
stopped had he wanted to, so across

it was, of the leap for life in the melo

of the other side of the bridge.
