  Here is the very newest, the very smartest scheme for delightful table
  settings. A set of doilies with identical centers in different gay
  flower borders that will add a decorator’s touch to your luncheon
  table. We have designed the above four doilies with just that idea in
  mind. All four designs fit either of the two basic centers.

  TABLE ENSEMBLE SUGGESTIONS: Why not make the other doilies in this
  book for a service of eight, all in White and bright flower colors?
