THE BIRDS

"But I'd set my heart on a smart sophisticated entrance hall, and those bird, prints don't suggest anything much to me. There won't be room for much furniture-I think

But what am I going to do about the birds; they're good prints with quite bright colours in the birds."

Why not have gilt based lamps with gold shades? A large mirror on another wall would be pretty| nice if you have space. "You'll need strong light bulbs with these dark walls.

Preoccupation may prevent your seeing something of importance this day, so keep your eyes open and your mind on what is taking place in your immediate vicinity. Do not get worked up over little things. Take heed of any admonitions or presentiments you have. It might be just as well not to ignore signs, especially if they give indication that anyone's temper is being con- trolled with difficulty. On this day, an ounce of prevention will be Don't despair!

And this new design gives you that important fashion at its best!
