I1sEs FOR. SHELLS.

for suggestions for displaying sea-
shells. Since I have some shells, I
watched for answers, but If there
were any I missed them. I have
considered filling a small crystal
rose bowl or copper bowl with the
shells or using them instead OF
gravel for hyacinths. A few of the
larger ones, such as three or four
inch conch and tulip shells, can be
scattered on book shelves in front
of the books. They also can be used
in dish gardens. In Florida saw
a lady with shells used as buttons
on a linen dress, but I do not know
how she made the holes in them.
I would like to hear if any one else
has other suggestions for shells.
Please do keep variety OF items
in the Clearing House! Lots OF us
are not "homemakers."
