nToday we celebrate the bow!
n
n
n

| Of course you have seen bows in hair (above). But have you seen someone with more bow than hair (below)? |
n
n
n
n
n
 |
| And how about someone with a bow made of hair (above)? |
n
 |
| Presents often have bows. Sometimes they’re COVERED with bows! |
n
n
n
n
 |
| Some gifts can’t be wrapped – but people still put a bow on them! |
n
 |
| The house above has a huge bow as a holiday decoration! |
n
 |
| You’re apt to see bows at weddings..maybe in decorations (above). or on flower girls’ dresses (below). |
n
 |
| Most dresses with bows have rather small bows at the back, like the dresses above. But others have large bows – sometimes in the front! |
n
 |
| And if a bow is vast enough (below), it makes a fashion statement! |
