They are made in squares, the selection of

velvet block in the center of each square
1t contained sixty squares, and in the
centre appeared St. Andrews cross formed
of various shades of yellow. In forming
this cross four squares were sewed together.
On two sides of the black block in the
center of each square narrow stripes OF
yellow were sewed, each stripe being darker
than the one preceding it, and at the edge
was dark velvet stripe. The other sides
of the squares were devoted to other colors
and they, Joined to others alike in the ar

would be to jump over, catch him by the

The animal quickly tossed him over the
