s beautiful font of scrolledinitials are to be congratulated and can properly be consideredpastmasters in the art of brush-work lettering. The methods of ornamentation are greatly varied but theycan all be used on each letter, offering the student ample op-portunity to test his skill in designing. Take the ornamenta- tion on letter D and use for F or L. Use ornaments on Owith P or Q, etc. All these letters can first be edge-lined likeK and Z, or like T with shaded outlines, or like Y and X withfancy scrolled panels. Round or fancy openings or shaped like those in the body ofletter D may often be used to good advantage in any of the stemstrokes of the other letters. Interlaced Scrolled Panels.
