The only • inven-tive drawing,—a term we sometimes hear used,—that is of any real worth, is the new combination oflines according to some rational method, and notas the thoughtless fancy of tlie pupil may invention, to be of any worth, must be methodi-cal and VARIETIES OF THE FRET. 97Four Additional Varieties of the Fret. Simple as is the construction of the fret orna-ment, yet its varieties, even if we confine ourselveswholly to straight lines, are almost numberless. Fourvarieties are here given, which you can use as youthink best. Directions. — l. Draw seven parallel horizontal lines equi-distant. This can be bestdone b ydrawiug thetwo outerlines first,andthen the cen-tral the ver-tical linesnecessary to HI divide the whole into small squares. On squares construct the fret, as in the copy. This is a Greek specimen. 2. Draw seven parallel horizontal lines equidistant. Drawthe vertical lines necessary to divide the whole into squaresOn these squares construct the fret, as in the copy. It will beseen that this is quite different from the last variety, thouj;!formed on the same intersecting lines. This is an Egyp-tian specimen. 3. To construct this variety, draw six parallel horizontalj lines equidistant. Across
