Cards are attached to ribbon with transparent tape. Or else, we press a screen into service, especially when there are scads of card. We use a plain screen and we cover the panel with silver, gold or green metallic paper--wherever the color scheme happens to be. Against this bright background we arrange our cards.

Her jewels were three large loops of pearls and a jewelled clasp with a large emerald in the centre. The show was tantamount to a preview of spring fashions. The Queen Mother carefully questioned each couturier as he took his place beside her while his own models were exhibited. Prin- cess Margaret also chatted fre- quently with the designer.
