A start so effortless, even a tamed model in a leopard print bathing suit can use it.
Clipping taken from some newspaper, found under some old vinyl flooring at my old family home in Melbourne.

Virtual fish bowl...
... there's no water, no bowl, and the fish is rubber!
I've tried growing a number of plants in this second-hand shallow, bonsai dish that cost me about a dollar or less: parley seeds, bonsai rosemary, succulents and mint. Hopefully this one will live! I moved it into our bathroom a few weeks ago so my orchid that was there could go in the portable greenhouse over Winter.
Anyhoo, I like how my op shop fish looks like he's swimming in a bowl even though he is in air. He is actually a much brighter orange - almost fluorescent - in real life but it's hard to capture that with a camera.

New fangled button
A patented design that became so ubiquitous in its success we now take it for granted.
'UNDER the appropriate name of "The Very Button," Messrs. Green and Cadbury have patented a two-hole linen button, which will be found to be among the most servicable that are made As a rule, buttons are a fruitful source of annoyance to nearly everybody, but we venture to think that "The Very Button" will be considered an exception to the rule. We can recommend its use for all kinds of under-clothing, and we think that no one will ever regret having given it a trial.'
Original image from Cassell's Household Guide, c. late 19th century. Estimated to be before electricity in houses, pre 1881/1882. Gas lighting and manual washing machines are mentioned elsewhere in this double volume.
