I preferably for hall. 1t can be decor

pant lion or a dragon shows well. IN,
coloring should be somewhat strong,
especially if the hall is at all dark. Th,
work is best seen if the shield is hung
up merely as a decoration, but utilita
rians will probably have 1t fitted with
pegs for hats or sticks. Wooden shields
may take the place of metal, but these
should be grounded entirely with
color.

decoration. Designs on door panels
and friezes will need no vanishing
after the work is done, and yet viii
bear the spring clean without injury.

email will be found. UblonQ panels OF
wood, terra. Gotta, or anaglypta can be
inserted with delightful results. These
should be painted to appear as muct
as possible like enamels proper sc
called. The best plan is to copy the
floral design of piece of real Cloi-
some, keeping exactly to the colors and
as clo sely 8 may be 10 the pattern. Ii
it is thought too much of an undertak.

Embossed and painted leather seats
of chairs are most fashionable. One
or two are used in a dinIng-room,
library, or hall. Victoria stools, Ham.
let seats and folding chairs, as well as
piano seats, are now upholstered in
leather, and very often the leather is
embossed and then painted, gilded,
and silvered. Whilst a whole suit
would be objectionably snowy, just two
or three seats are pleasing additions to
a room. The frame should be of DARK
oak, carved or plain. Here, again, the
emails como in for coloring the EN-.
bossed designs on the leather.
There are rty-eight colors includ-
ing the gold, silver, and copper bronze,
but, as is the case with every kind oi
painting, nothing like the whole mum.
Der is requisite. Attractive pieces are
executed with about half dozen
emails. The colors, lacquer, gold
powder and brushes are sold in neal
boxes of different sizes. All TIE
articles are inexpensive; the cost of
the boxes varying according to the
rumber and size of the tins of color
they contain. They are to be had OF
many artists colormen, and the terra
Gotta articles for painting with them.
Errors are easily rectitied, the email
can be scraped off with knife or can
be painted over with the right color
Occasionally birds feathers and flower
petals are sprinkled with Cloisonne
glitters to give them a sparkling
mother-ofpearl appearance. The gilt.
ters are prepared in various tints, and
are powders. Whilst the birds wing
or petal Is still wet the glitter is lightly
scattered over, and it becomes fixed on
the surface as the email dries. The
parts that are to undergo this process
should be done before the le It of tn,
painting. so that any powder which may
accidently fall beyond the wing oI
petal may be brushed off; or the por.
tion to lie Uttered can, if pre- erred,
Q left unpainted until all the sur.
rounding parts are finished and dry.
The glitters must be used sparingly,
otherwise the work will suffer; mere.
tric!ous effect will be given to it quite
at variance with successful artistic
decoration.
