PACK 12 n HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SUNDAY, MAY 25, 19SB f 4T Sr. .''Wii . r' r i ii Mnw. i ,i"rir . 1, vH --..,, A SHADED WOODLAND SCeNt m a ... ., u.Kjned unci nude by Mrs. George Paris for the May 12 meeting of the Klamath Falls Woman's Library Club. Grow ing sword ferns brought from Rhododendron, near Mt. Hood, white lilacs, apple blossoms, Oregon Grape and varieties of moss, backgrounded the two tiny pools in which real gold fish darted. Stepping stones of pink rock brought from Madras, Oregon formed a curved walk from the pools that centered the tea table to the Hummel statue of St. Francis and a tiny red cedar shake creche on the stage. Tiny Italian vases of flowers, darting birds, and miniature Chinese figures about the pool added to the scene. Mrs. Paris kept the moss fresh and growing for two weeks to be used for the elaborate decor, and on the day of the tea, tiny toadstools and shamrocks dotted the multi-colored bryophtic plants. Mrs. Paris lined the pools with blue foil and used colored pebbles-for a realistic touch.
