Cut the green paper into strips aboutfour inches long by two inches wide, fold dov\:.the center and taper the end to an oval pointwith the scissors, and the base of the leafshould also be sloped off. With a No. I brushvein the leaves with liquid gold paint, as indi-cated by markings in the illustration. For theoranges roll a piece of cotton wool into a balland cover with the orange-colored paper; fas-ten one orange to the end of the branch by in-serting the wire directly in the center of thefruit; for the two remaining oranges insert afine wire into each, and twist these wiresaround the main branch, where it is desiredto have them; previously twist the small fig. 237. wires with brown paper. Gum the leaves into position, and the branch isfinished. DUST CAP. The little dust cap illustrat
