"But those bits aren't big enough to cover a big box and the patterns are too large to show except on a big box," objected Margaret who had come back with the paste.
"Here's where they're just the thing for decoration of the plain boxes. Cut out this perfectly darling wistaria—so. Could you find anything more graceful than that? You'd have to be an artist to do anything so good. Paste that sweeping, drooping vine with its lovely cluster of blossoms on to the top of one of the largest boxes and that's plenty of decoration."
Dorothy waved her vine in one hand and her scissors in the other and the rest became infected with her enthusiasm, for the scraps of paper that she had brought were exquisite in themselves and admirable for the purpose she suggested.
"Good for Dorothy!" hurrahed James. "Anybody else got any ideas on this decoration need?"
"Paste that vine on to the top of one of the largest boxes"
"I have," came meekly from Ethel Brown. "It isn't very novel but it will work, and it will save money and it's easy."
"Trot her forth," commanded Roger.
"It's silhouettes."
Silence greeted this suggestion.
