One of the great recommendations of these Transferring Papers is that they enable Ladies to trace upon their own materials; this being much less expensive than purchasing ready-traced Articles. New Designs are frequently being issued, and can be purchased from all Berlin Wool and Fancy Repositories. Ladies, with a taste for designing, can form beautiful groups by cutting and arranging flowers, &c, from various patterns. To do this most effectively, gum the small pieces (when cut) on to a sheet of paper, arranging them as desired, and, when the group is formed, transfer in the usual manner. In order to bring the large variety of patterns within the dimen- sions of a small book, it has been necessary to reduce most of them in size. This spoils to some extent the general effect of the large designs, such as Antimacassars, Brackets, Cosey Groups, &c, though they be exact copies of the original. NOTICE. The correct proportions of the designs, as they appear in the Transferring Papers, are marked in inches above each design, but those marked with an asterisk (*) are the same in the Transferring Papers as in the Pattern Book. Special attention is directed to the fact that the price of the strips is regulated by the Width of the Paper on which they are Printed, — and not by the Width of the Design ; thus: No. 264, 3 inches wide, is printed on paper 4-in. wide, and is therefore a Four inch strip. All patterns up to 2|-in. wide are Three inch strips; 2f-in. to 3|-in. are Four inch strips; 4-in. to 5-in. are Six inch strips ; and 5|-in. to 7-in. are Eight inch strips.
