How to Use the Magic Paper.

For taking off patterns of embroidery, place a piece of thin paper over the embroidery to prevent‘soiling, then i lay on the magic paper, and you put on ; the cloth you wish to take copy on, to embroider, pin fast, and rub over with : a spoon handle, and every part of the raised figure will be shown on the plain doth. To take impressions of leaves on paper, place the leaf, smooth side up, on a sheet of this paper, cover with i a piece of waste paper, and rub as be-1 fore. Upon removing you will find a beautiful impression of the leaf or fern. Beautiful designs maybe made in this way, with the different variety of leaves and ferns, 1 by blending the different colors, similar to spatter work.— Dr. Chases Receipt Book.
