 Lakeview playgrounds are particularly forceful example of this fact, here at the foot of the highlands all classes are in. terested in the joy of play.

 low and blue look like garden of lovely flowers rather than human beings. We stop and wonder why somebody didn't think of the idea long. long ago. love the description of an ''old garden gown" which reads like this:
 Tt was built of soft crepe. blue shot with green. the shade of peacock feath- ers.' and it was quaint anything Kate Greenaway designed.
 The bodice and sleeves were slashed open to snow a soft blue underbodice em- b1oidered with proud peacock in blue green and gold. and surrounded by quaint little nosegays of all colors This design was repeated on the sleeves. The httle surplice upper bodice and the hem of the skirt showed French knots of green, blue and gold.
 These ideas are passed on for what they are worth. and 1 imagine they will be rather interesting to the girl who de- signs her own gowns as the possibilities in flower garden effects are innumer- able.
 Only the other day saw a lovely young widow just '.lavender-ing" out of black. and it occurred to me that as she is tan and slender. and swaying and wind. blown" looking, she might take a purple hollyhock for her model' this spring and have her frocks made to make her look like this quaint old flower.
