Fig. [399].
There are two kinds of wing feathers—some long and narrow ([Fig. 395]), and others much shorter ([Fig. 396]). Begin at the lower edge of the wing and glue a row of the long feathers in place, allowing the lower edge of one feather to overlap the upper edge of another, as in [Fig. 397]. Along the top edge of the wing glue a row of the small feathers ([Fig. 397]), and then, beginning again at the lower edge of the wing, cover the remainder with the small feathers.
The short, broad feather ([Fig. 398]), is the kind to use on breast and neck. Begin at the wing and fasten them on, going upward until the head is reached, then trim off the stems of the feathers to fit the space shown by the dotted line on the goose's head ([Fig. 399]). Do not put too much glue on the goose at one time, only enough for one row of feathers, and spread it very thinly, for it takes but little to catch and hold the light feathers in place.
