Nar3aret Mason Several of the
smart specially shops in Fifth Avenue
are showing some delightfully."- artistic
and wondrously attractive things in
the quilting line.
Bed Quilts on Muslin.
There are first of all the large

| Toned hollyhocks in lovely rose pinks
and greens and the whole quilt bound
in an inch wide binding of green.
