[Lynn, Mass. : T.E. Parker] · leaf 62
56 One or two single or double plush balls may be attached to a bow of ribbon and add to the effect. Acorns may be treated the same way. They may be either plain or bronzed with bright- colored bronze varnish. … Embroidered plush frames, for mirrors, with a spray of wood- bine or clematis dropping gracefully across, are very rich and artistic, or appropriate mottoes may be embroidered in quaint old Roman letters. A good motto is “ Be to my virtues ever kind ; Be to my faults a little blind.”
