2 The Army gallantly gave me a Knockout mirror. I painted the dressing table blue, dyed a sheet blue, also my mosquito bar - draped a shirred white net mosquito bar over my bed and skirted a packing box with white net to make a dressing table stool. Thus in the middle of the jungle I live like the queen of sheba in a Sears Roebuck version of a bridle suite. It is quite incongruous but refreshing too, to see so much frou-frou - amidst army blankets. The total result looks something like this (drawing of room) These are pink flowers
