FIRE-SCREENS composed of the wings of phea
g sants, or other game, are both pretty and useful,
3 and when hung at the fire-side, below the bell g pull, form a nice addition to the decorations of S a drawing-room. The wings must be cut off iwhen the bird is fresh killed, and as near the ibcdy as possible; being careful not to rutfle the i feathers. The wing must be stretched as in this Ira/‘_I,I/raflr.n///»r./).r1,
cut. To put them together, place the inner edges together, and sew them up to near the
top feathers thus: when sewed, lay the screen
f son a table, right side downward, and, having
i placed a double paper over the sewing, press it Q with a hot iron. When that side is done, turn g the screen, and place a weight on the right side 5 to give it a flat back; it is then fit to attach to ithe handle, a gilt one looks best: form rosettes
E of the large scarlet chenile, and sew one on each
fiside so as to cover where the handle joins; a i pair of scarlet chenile tassels and silk cord are required, as seen in design: the screen is hung
by the loop of cord. ,mn - W,,~,»”, . , MW,/,,”N,~,r,~
