lures, usually delicate designs in white
appearing upon n soitly.shaded ground,
are now very popular, and are, with a
little practice, easily produced. Procure
n sheet Of fine unCalendercd drawing
paper and arrange thereon II bouquet Of
pressed leaves, trailing vines, letters, or
any design which il Is desired to have
appear in white. Fnsten the articles by
pins stuck into the smooth surface which
should be underneath the paper. Then
slightly wet the bristlcg Of n tooth, brush
or other brush in rubber Indian ink or
common black writing ink; next draw
them across a stick in such manner
that the bristles will be bent and then
quickly released. This will cause fine
spatter Of ink upon the paper. Continue
the SCATTERING over all the leaves, pins
and paper, allowing the centre Of the pat.
tern to receive the most ink, the edges
shading of. When done, remove the
design and the forms will be found re-
produced with accuracy on the tinted
ground. With rustic wooden frame
