backwards and forwards ; then fix it up on the wall by a corner 

 to drip and dry ; or the drawing may be pinned down to a 

 board, held on an incline over a dish, and the milk and water 

 poured over it with a spoon, beginning at the top ; it is necessary 

 to see that all parts of the drawing have been passed over. If 

 the drawings are merely outlines, or have very little shading 

 upon them, then the fixing medium may be passed over the whole 

 -paper with a broad, flat, camel-hair brush. With careful treat- 

 ment, this method of preserving drawings will be found to be 

 quite satisfactory.

SECTION LXIII. 



1. The verb faire (4. ir.) is used in the formation of a number 

 of idiomatic sentences. (See Sect. 32, E. 3, 4.) Faire faire, to 

 have made, to bespeak; faire raccommoder, to have mended; faire 

 la cuisine, to cook; faire cuire, to cook, to bake; faire bouillir, 

 to boil ; faire rdtir, to roast ; faire chauffer, to warm (in speak- 

 ing of food) ; faire bonne chere, to live well : 



Nous avons fait faire des habits. We have had clothes made. 

 Vous avez fait raccommoder vos You have had your waistcoats 

 gilets. mended. 



2. The past participle of faire never varies, when it precedes 

 an infinitive : 



Les livres que vous avez f ait venir. The boofcs which you have sent for. 



3. Faire peur, to frighten ; faire attention, to pay attention ; 

 faire tort, to injure ; faire mal, faire du mal, to hurt, require a 

 before a noun : 



Nous avons fait peur a ces en- We have frightened those children. 



fants. 

 Vous leur avez fait mal. You have hurt them. 



4. The last example will show that, when a noun preceded 

 by a, expressed or understood, is replaced by a pronoun, that 

 pronoun will take the form of an indirect object (dative). 



5. In speaking of the parts of the body, the French use the 

 article le, la, les, &c., instead of the possessive adjective [ 77 

 (9)], and in this case, express possession by means of a reflec- 

 tive [Sect. 37, B. 1] or other personal pronoun : 



Vous in'avez fait mal a la main. 

 Le bras lui fait mal. 

 II s'est coup<5 un doigt. 



You have hurt my hand. 

 His arm hurts or pains him. 

 He has cut one of his fingers. 



MISCELLANEOUS EXAMPLES. 



Will you have your shoes mended ? 



I would bespeak a new coat if I had 



money. 



He does not understand cooking. 

 Hare you cooked your meat ? 

 Will you warm your broth 1 



You have hurt his elbow. 



You have hurt my foot. 



You have had your house painted. 



Ferez-vous raccommoder vos sou- 

 liers ? 



Je ferais faire un habit si j'avais 

 de 1'argent.
