We had watched her Marseilles bedspreads give way to hem-stitched covers, with bolsters to match. We had seen Tish go through a cold winter clad in a succession of sleazy silk kimonos instead of her flannel dressing-gown; terrible kimonos green and yellow and red and pink, that looked like fruit salads and were just as heating. "It's that dratted Syrian!" cried Aggie and at that Tish came in.
The steamer trunk and the rug had gone. We let them go. They might go to Jerusalem, as far as we were concerned! After we had eaten, about eleven o'clock, I think, Tish got up and surveyed the apartment.

The result of this interrogative reasoning was an immediate resort to satins and silks and flosses, wherewith larger and more important things than tidies were created lambrequins, hangings, bedspreads, screens, and many other furnishings, all wrought in exquisite flosses, and more or less beautiful in color.
During the fall they did not attend to the needed general mending and refitting of the old comfortables and bedspreads, though some were ragged and filthy, or worn so thin as to be but little better than so many strainers.

The bedspreads were laid back over the foot of each bed and the feast was laid out upon the bed-clothes.
"Antiques?" "Yes, of the proper sort. Old Willow china and Sheffield plate. Copper lustre tea-sets and homespun bedspreads. And samplers! Oh, Azalea, I've three or four stunning samplers! One is dated 1812. That ought to bring a fine price." "I don't know about samplers. Of course, I know what they are, but what makes them valuable?" "Age, my dear. And authoritative dates.
If two beds are used, place this table between the two beds. If the walls are plain in color, figured draperies and bedspreads can be used. If the walls have on them a small design, plain materials for these purposes should be used. Suggested Color Scheme for Bedroom Walls Corn colored cross-bar paper. Woodwork White, dull finish, paint.
Late that night they found him sitting in the chapel looking at the window, which was only a blur. For certain small services in the ward the Senior depended on the convalescents filling drinking cups; passing milk at eleven and three; keeping the white bedspreads in geometrical order. But the Avenue Girl was taboo. The boycott had been instituted by Old Maggie.
