ter-piece, first draw a square the same size asspace A on trial paper. Draw the diagonals and the diameters so as to divide the squareinto eight right-angled triangles. Then study up a form suitable for one of these tri-angles, and draw it eight times around the center. See the triangle distinctly markedout in Figs, i, 2, and 3. Tracing paper, a pattern, or some mechanical means shouldbe used for repeating the like parts of the design. For suggestions in reference to cen-ter-pieces, see page 22. Space a.—Make a curved line design to fill an upright square, using a center-piece,as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, and draw it in space B. Make all these designs first ontrial paper.

98 ESTHETIC SERIES. Lesson 14.—To Fill Squares and Triangles. Space A —Make a design to fill a square, making the point of attachment at themiddle of one side, instead of the center, as in Figs, i and 2, and draw it in space A onPlate 2. In this case first divide the square into halves by a vertical diameter, so as toform two oblongs. On trial paper, with a soft lead-pencil, draw the left half of thedesign; now fold the paper on the diameter of the square, rub on the back of the lefthalf so as to transfer it to the right half. Go over the right half now with the soft pencilto make it distinct. Lastly, lay the trial paper, with the design downward, on the squareA in the drawing-book. Rub over the back of the trial paper and transfer the design tothe space A. It may then be finished up as usual. The tint lines in the backgroundshould be broad, soft gray lines, not thin, black, or wiry looking. Space B.—Make a design to fill a square, making the point of attachment at onecomer, as
