a cactus whose leaves are turning
yellow; there may be insects eating

I will give my way of covering up
the rough shelves for placing books
and ornaments upon. Take plain
flannel or merino; (the flannel used
by lumbermen is more durable); cut
the length Of the shelf and 3-4 of a
yard deep; then cut one edge in deep
points, making three or four points
according to the size of shelf; pink
all around with a sad1ler's pinking
iron; cut out of scraps of dark and
bright colored velvets, silks and sat-
ins, palm ivy leaves and greek de-
signs. When sufficient quantity
has been collected arrange them up
on the points about two inches from
the edge. A little care end practice
will enable one to arrange the colors
to harmonic; baste to keep in place;
then work with contrasting color, in
buttonhole stitch, the edges, with
embroidery silk; feather stitch a
band of white flannel IA inch wide
all around the lambrequin one inch
from edge; between the points place
points OF contrasting color EN- oroid-
cred in the same way excepting the
featherstitching near the edge.
