nasturtium leaves for sailor hats.

Stubby soon made four rooms, leaving a door in each, with a hall down
the middle.

"We can have grape leaves for blankets on the beds, and rose-petals for
pillows, can't we?" said Stubby excitedly, "and a big, flat stone for a
table and little stones for chairs!--and more rose petals for chair
cushions!"

bonnet, and Rose finished arranging an acorn cup full of tiny green
grapes for apples, before she replied.
