might be tinted IN the delicate soft gray

out the dimensions, whether high or
broad, draw the design without think
ing OF IT as a stencil, but see that it
has good spacing and graceful lines,
then break I, up into stencil form by
drawing IN the ties" that arc to hold it
together. Be sure that the ties arc
well connected, and that each important
position OF the design is surrounded by

Regular stcncil-board is somewhat
difficult to procure, except in large
cities. but very satisfactory substitute
may be made at home by using heavy
manila or drawing paper, and treating
it with I coat OF shellac. Any heavy
paper or lightweight cardboard, that

besides the shellac there are several
home made methods OF rendering il
waterproof. Linsecd oil, rubbed OIL until
it pcnctraies the paper, IS one method,
another is to melt a lump OF paraiin
or a parafin candle IN pan, and draw
the paper through It: the paraffin may
also be applied by first rubbing it on a
warm iron, then ironing the paper. re-
peating until it is thoroughly coated on
both sides. After the design is traced
on the stencil paper, the cutting will be
made easier if it is placed on a marble
or glass slab. A sloyd knife or a very
sharp penknifc must be used. and the
hard, smooth surface under the paper
permits a clean. sharp cutting line.
