An Improved Method of Winging Upright Duns. 



This is considered to be the latest improve- 

 ment, and the most efficacious mode of setting on 

 upright wings, whether double or single. 



Strip off entirely and discard the shorter plume 

 of a pair of starling wing feathers, one right and 

 one left. Pare the central quill running down the 

 feathers as thin as possible with a pair of curved 

 scissors such as are used by oculists. Cut through 

 the quill of each feather at regular intervals, each 

 being of the width required for a wing (fig. 44).
