rings ornament the coronet.] [Illustration: FIG. 46--Oriental-looking ear-rings.] [Illustration: FIG. 47--Cut two hoops like this.] [Illustration: FIG. 48--The bangle bracelet.] [Illustration: FIG. 49--Cut a strip for the bangle bracelet.] [Illustration: FIG. 50--Cut six round charms.] [Illustration: FIG. 51--A link bracelet.] [Illustration: FIG. 52--Slip one link through another.] =The Bangle Bracelet= The bangle bracelet (Fig. 48) is made as in Fig. 49. Cut a strip of paper half an inch wide and about eight inches long; make a catch at one end and a slit in the other end, then a little below the middle cut six slits half an inch apart, as in Fig. 49. [Illustration: Playing lady. The lorgnette.] Cut six round charms, three-quarters of an inch in diameter, with a catch at the top like Fig. 50, and fasten the charms on the bracelet. Fig. 49 gives the inside of the bracelet with three charms attached. This bracelet is large for a small child, but can be shortened at the end to fit any little arm. =A Link Bracelet= Fig. 51 is a link bracelet. Make this by folding a strip of paper eight inches long crosswise through the middle. Bring the folded end half way down and fold, turn back the other end and fold like a fan. This divides the paper into six equal parts. Now cut out the outer edge of all the links at once. Free the two end links and cut out the centres of the others, then cut the centres of the two links, as shown in Fig. 51, making the catch and slit like the pattern. [Illustration: FIG. 53--Make the lorgnette case of a strip of paper.] [Illustration: FIG. 54.] [Illustration: FIG. 55--The glasses swing loosely.] The links of the long chain shown in the photograph of "The queen and her captive," are cut exactly like the bangle bracelet (Fig. 49). The slits and charms are, of course, omitted. Fig. 52 shows how the chain is put together by slipping one link through another and fastening it with its catch. You can make the chain any length. It is so strong that only rough handling will pull it apart. =The Lorgnette= Now comes the lorgnette, which works beautifully made of rather stiff paper. Make the case of a strip of paper three inches wide and eight inches long. Fold the paper lengthwise through the middle and cut it, rounding at the top like Fig. 53. In one side cut a small round hole at the top, rather near the edge of the case, F (Fig. 53), and fold back the lower co
