blue (ultramarine blue and white), lighted with orange (carmine and yellow). The lower portion of S purple (ultramarine blue, carmine and white), also the stem which forms the letter P.

From the light blue of the upper portion of S follow down to purple on the lower part by shades of purple, increasing in depth, and light with orange.

XJ s A.—Formed to represent unity and strength, and the American colors. TJ is partly formed of the " Bundle of Rods," the lower portion of the letter being dependent on letter S for its curved shape. S carries the stars representing the States, and A the stripes on the national flag. Color XJ in imitation of yellow pine or oak ; S with light and dark shades of blue ; the stars white or gold, and A red and white.

T R A.—A complicated, delicate pattern, well suited for small panels, being drawn according to rules previously given. The penciling must be carefully executed, so as to define each letter perfectly, u s a

and the colors be such as will contrast strongly, or otherwise the

monogram, when finished, will be illegible. SAP, arranged so as to admit of being

painted rapidly ; that is, each of the letters

are quite slender, therefore requiring but

single strokes of the pencil. The letter S

would be formed by beginning at its upper T R A portion with a light stroke, and, as the body

of the letter is approached, gradually pressing down on the pencil, thus producing at once the heavy portion. The extreme ends of the letter require but one stroke each on the parts that form them.

A and P require no more labor than S—we mean at to the filling in of the letter S.; for either of them may be produced by single strokes of the pencil. In coloring, we suggest a pale pink tint for the upper half of S, its lower part a pale olive green. A, light blue, shaded with dark blue. P, vermilion and carmine, the whole lighted with canary color, used sparingly, but with very decided touches.

C. B.— Gothic. Somewhat difficult to combine in a monogram of three letters, unless the selection be made from the whole alphabet, with perfect freedom to use any three letters that will combine easily. One gothic, one antique Tuscan, and a plain Roman letter, combine more readily, and therefore produce a more satisfactory design. C T B—Block letters, drawn in oblique perspective, forming an entirely new style of monogram, and one that is very pretty. T is the main letter ; B depending on it for its front portion or shank, and C for its support in the position given it. By squaring each letter, the foundation lines will be apparent. When drawn correctly, C and T would find their vanishing points above and to the right, and B to the left, on a horizontal line, which represents the supposed position or level of the eye above the base line on which the letters rest.
