flred or unfired, whether background or trim. (25-32)

menterie jet; differing from them in that these buttons are molded in one-
piece and have no metal back. (1-5)

lustrative. Such designs as numerals, alphabetical letters and words be-
long here quite as much as the listed classes. (1-12)

in a highly forntalized and unrealistic manner. tr'Ioral patterns of this kind
are abundant. (1,2) Hearts should be placed here.
Geometrical: Designs based upon arrangements of lines and shapes instead
of on natural objects. Include hel'e ft'ee-flowing as well as Euclidian pat-
terns and include those wrthout symmetry, as well as those with precise
proportions. (3-12 )
