[WE
SELDOM
REPENT
OF
HAVING
EATEN
TOO
LITTLE.]
2521.
Lilac.
About
two
teaspoonfuls
of
cudbear
into
about
a
quart
of
boiling
water;
let
it
simmer
a
few
minutes
before
you
put
in
the
feathers.
A
small
quantity
of
cream
of
tartar
turns
the
colour
from
lilac
to
amethyst.

Black;
Crimson.

Preparation
of
Feathers
for
Dyeing.
The
feathers
must
be
put
into
hot
water,
and
allowed
to
drain
before
they
are
put
into
the
dyes.
After
they
are
taken
out
of
the
dye,
rinse
them
two
or
three
times
in
clear
cold
water
(except
the
red,
which
must
only
be
done
once),
then
lay
them
on
a
tray,
over
which
a
cloth
has
been
spread,
before
a
good
fire;
when
they
begin
to
dry
and
unfold,
draw
each
feather
gently
between
your
thumb
and
finger,
until
it
regains
its
proper
shape.

Leaves
of
the
Flowers.
These
are
made
of
green
feathers,
cut
like
those
of
the
natural
flower,
and
serrated
at
the
edge
with
a
very
small
pair
of
scissors.
For
the
calyx
of
a
moss-rose
the
down
is
left
on
the
feather,
and
is
a
very
good
representation
of
the
moss
on
the
natural
flower.

Waxen
Flowers
and
Fruit.
There
is
no
art
more
easily
acquired,
nor
more
encouraging
in
its
immediate
results,
than
that
of
modelling
flowers
and
fruit
in
wax.
The
art,
however,
is
attended
by
this
draw-back--that
the
materials
required
are
somewhat
expensive.
