HEIRLOOMS 
“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my 
childhood” —Freesias, Narcissi and Valley- 
Lilies—heirlooms of memory. Yet, how 
enduring is the charm of these old-fash¬ 
ioned favorites. 
In the most modern room in a sky-scraping 
penthouse they seem to hum a quiet little 
tune like the tinkle of a music box.
