Will you kindly describe the proper way to make a casket cover or blanket, stating just what to use for the foun- dation and how the flowers are fastened to it? J. R. P.—N. H. There are at least three distinct kinds of casket covers. One of them, which 1 shall designate as No. 1, has a foundation of green velvet, to which the flowers are fastened with fine hair- pins. No. 2 has a groundwork of green fish netting, with flowers attached to it by means of fine wires. No. 3 is a casket mound, which consists of a board or piece of cardboard, cut the desired length and width, then mossed and covered with green. Ferns, as- paragus or smilax will do. The flowers are wired and put on sticks and then stuck into the mossed mound. Long strands of asparagus and flowers are made to fall over the sides of the casket and are anchored into ' the mound with long green sticks. That finishes No. 3. To construct No. 1, after the velvet has been, sewed together the desired length and width, put it upon quilting frames and stretch it. Then cover the velvet with smilax. The roses, which have been previously wired with fine wires, are cut at a length of about three inches and fastened through the smilax and velvet with fine hairpins. Care must be taken to twist the wire hairpins together on' the wrong side of the blanket, to hold the roses firmly. Run the flowers from the edges in toward the center.
