ANAL YSIS OF DESIGNS. 
No. 40. (Pago Sj.\ Cupid's Yoke. This was made with one-half of the design 
white and the other half pink roses and carnations, emblemizing "purity" and "love." 
The illustration gives the method employed in this case to reach this satisfactory result. 
No. 41. (Page 89.) Lovers' Knot. Scarlet and white are employed to delineate 
clearly our subject of a true lover's knot. The ends are of rose buds, with smilax backing. 
This is a very effective wedding design. 
No. 42. (Page 91.) Cupid's Bow and Arrow. This dainty affair is surely pretty 
enough to pierce any tender heart. The materials employed consist of roses and mar- 
guerites, edged with delicate sprigs of smilax, the ends of the bow being lily of the valley. 
The arrow is formed of a long cycas palm leaf, trimmed into proper shape, the shaft be- 
ing covered with a single row of marguerites. 
No. 43. (Page 93.) Shoe, Filled with Roses. This well-proportioned adjunct of 
feminine wear contains a more beautiful " filling" than falls to the lot of many of its kin- 
dred. The engraving so well individualizes the flowers employed that it is unnecessary 
to enumerate them. Appropriate as a gift, or for a wedding present. 
No. 44. (Page 95.) Sheath of Birch Bark. Filled as in illustration. Marguerites 
and roses, tied with a ribbon. A pretty little souvenir gift. 
No. 45. (Page 95.) Broken Hopes. " Broken Hopes" represent the feelings of the 
bereaved parents whose only son had through an accident been burned to death. The 
broken end of the shaft is laid on the base. A garland of roses winds around and conceals 
the shattered end. The whole design, shaft and base, is made of white carnations. 
No. 46. (Page 97.) Basket on Panel. A very pretty subject is here illustrated, 
and one easy to work up. Suitable as part of house decoration, or as a souvenir gift. 
The panel is of velvet, and the basket made by cutting in half an ordinary oblong basket, 
or nicker " vase." 
No. 47. (Page 97.) Lily Bud Basket. A wild rush-like arrangement of water 
lilies and swamp grass. The engraving gives a very good idea of the composition of this 
basket. 
No. 48. (Page 99.) Camp Kettle, filled with Flowers, Ferns and Grasses. A 
very fine arrangement is here shown, formed of rare greenhouse flowers, choice fronds of 
ferns, and native and foreign grasses. 
No. 49. (Page 101.) German Design of Grasses, etc. Illustrates the German 
idea of handling winter grasses, etc. 
No. 50. (Page 103.) Winter Bouquet of Grasses. A gorgeous vase of dried 
grasses, peacock feathers, pampas plumes, etc. A sparrow has just alighted, and flutters 
on a spear of grass. Also a German design.
