New Home: How wish I could accept

you write me of the plans would certainly
have the walls between the sitting room and

the whole into a really worth while living
room; by cutting the arch between your liV-

heels appear on all shoes of the better types
No. 8: The florist told me not to set out

some dormant roses are set out earlier.
Bride-to-Be: With your coloring, it seems
| to me that the new apricot shade with your
