for dinner, so we will select one which is sound and perfect. Carefully open a large-size milk-weed pod in the seam which you will find on the rounded side (Fig. 351) and take out the beautiful white fish composed of the seeds clinging to their downy wings, the seeds forming the fish’s scales (Fig. 352) and the down its body. Cut out a piece of white paper (Fig. 353) and with a drop of paste fasten it on the fish to form the tail (Fig. 354); also gum a small, round piece of inked paper in position for the eye; place the fish on a dish made from a long, green leaf (Fig. Fig. 352.
Fig. 354. 355). Hollyhock seeds, which are
Fig. 353. packed together in rounded forms, must furnish cheeses, the resemblance
Fig. 355. being very marked (Fig. 356). Two will be required and should be placed on the opposite sides of the table.
