See page 87. We will now take up these methods and illustrate them separately. 20 AiSTHETIC SERIES. First, By Stripes. See page 73. From a study of this page it is evident thathorizontal and obhque stripes may also be used to cover any indefinite flat surface. Second, />// Mcaus of Squares and Other Four-sided Figures. See a, b, c, and d in Fig. 6. Of course, any of these spaces might be indefinitely Third, Bi/ Triangles, equilateral or other kinds. See e, f, and g. Fourth, Bji Hexagons, Regular and Irregular. See //, /, and/ It will be noticed that in the preceding examples, the surface in each is completelycovered, no open spaces being left between the squares, triangles, hexagons, etc. Thesesquares, oblongs, rhombs, triangles, and hexagons are not necessarily units, but they area convenient method of securing the orderly arrangement of units, since any unit thatwill conveniently fill one of these geometrical spaces enumerated above may be usedfor fining out the whole design to any extent. Fifth, Straight Line Figures Founded on the Preceding Forms, [a) Straight LineFigures from the Square. Such figures may be discovered or invented by taking a number of adjacent squaresand cutting out straight line figures from one side of a square and attaching it to someother side, opposite or
