EMBLEMATIC DESIGNS. 



We often receive orders for floral 

 lodge emblems of kinds not generally 

 made in wire designs at such short no- 

 tice that we cannot get wire frames 

 made in time, as we have no wire work- 

 er in our small city. 



In such cases we have found an ex- 

 cellent substitute for the wire frame in 

 a board shaped like a placque — square, 

 round or oval, covering it with sphag- 

 num moss on one side and working out 

 the design in flowers. In many cases 

 we can get a better effect this way than 

 with a wire frame. 



We drive tacks in the edge of the 

 board and then weave string back and 

 forth over the moss to hold it in place. 

 We cover the back of the board with tin 

 foil, attaching the sheets of foil to the 

 wood with glue. The moss is put on 

 about two inches thick and such de- 

 signs last better than those made on the 

 ordinary frames on account of the 

 greater quantity of damp moss they 

 contain. But "the great consideration 

 is that the materials are always at hand 

 jind quickly made available. W. II.
