The Boston dealer displayed one of the mostcolorful objects in the show, a crocheted table cloth in vibrantcolors depicting all manner of birds and fowl, including songbirds, owls, roosters and eagles.
And if a bird happened to getinto the ice rink it would probably seek out the Score booth forlanding, with a choice of a very handsome martin house, "astructure such as you might see in Rome," Stephen said, or a nicehouse designed as a log cabin. A safer place might be on one of theperches in an elaborate three-tier wire cage with a blue paintedroof.
