FIG. 136. 



Then again, Fig. 138, although only an emblem, is such 

 a pretty one that it is worth remembering. This can 

 easily be adapted to any purpose. 



In sending plans to clients, 

 be careful to roll them up 

 neatly, so that from the first 

 there is a little bit of excite- 

 ment and pleasure in open- 

 ing them and looking at 

 them. Glynde College hap- 

 pens to be very particular 

 about this, and an amusing 

 little collection has been 

 made of the varied materials 

 used by different students 

 in tying up their rolls to 

 send in for inspection by 

 the Principal. 



We have a brown elastic ring with ink blots on it, too 

 limp to grip the roll properly ; a long, jagged piece of 

 raffia; a piece of white sewing- 

 cotton, with knots still remaining 

 in it. 



These show the wide and varied 

 selections of the feminine mind. 

 The only satisfactory tie among 

 those treasured is a piece of narrow 

 blue ribbon, which had a pretty 

 true-lover's knot and made the roll 

 look like a real artist's work. We feel sure Portia would 

 have had something similar. 



Coloured ground plans are more effective than pen-and- 

 ink ones. At the same time there are few old ones to 

 copy. It is far easier to obtain models of black-and- 

 white perspective plans, for here we have Du Cerceau's
