ribs; one at each miter, and other short ones joined to them,
with the reft about five inches apart from each other. At the
upper part of the cove is a square tefer into which the ribs are
fixed. On the edge of this tefer, which is made very light, is
fixed a small moulding mitered all round. The cove being
formed, the ribs may be covered with strong board-paper, both
inſide and out, which may either be japanned to match the furn-
iture, or it may be covered with the furniture itself. The cir-
cular part about the cove is nothing more than a straight board
fixed on to the upper tefer. For the fake of eafy conveyance,
the cove may be made in four parts, mitering at each corner,
and the ornament intended to be at each miter on the outſide
running entirely up to the feathers, will hide the joint.

The fwags of silk line that appear on the drapery ſhould be
ſaftened to the back part of the cornice, in order that they may
hang eafy. The pillars are to be japanned. The pannel that
hides the ſcrews is made to flip into a groove at the bottom, and
when raifed up a little from their place, can be taken away to
come at the ſcrews. The valence and drapery both together flip
on to a lath as in common.
