Jackie's mother was appointed

with a bench which looks like
a choir stall, heavily cushioned
in beige velvet, directly in front

has arranged a glass collection,
one of American glass, the other
European, with tiny lights that
bring out every bit Of color and

tian bowl of sapphire blue and
gold was a pet Of Vernon'S for
ten years.
Every week he would 60 into
the store and look at the bowl,
but neither he nor the owner
could reach a price agreeable
to both. Finally, at the end Of
the tenth year, Vernon became
annoyed at the whole situation,
SO he just went in told the owner
he had wanted that bowl for ten
years and he saw no reason why
he couldn't have it and-at his
own price. And-the owner,
amused by such persistence,
promptly sold him the bowl.

are crystal, are curved and are
practically the thickness of four
