Many of them became apt students of architecture and proficient in executing hand-tooled enriched moldings and other ornament for mantels and chimney pieces.

Gondy looked at the spot indicated and perceived a beggar seated in a chair and leaning against one of the moldings; a little basin was near him and he held a holy water brush in his hand. "Is it by permission that he remains there?" asked Gondy. "No, my lord; these places are bought. I believe this man paid his predecessor a hundred pistoles for his." "The rascal is rich, then?"

Whole banks of flowers, for instance, cannot be carved on cathedral fronts, but only narrow moldings, having some of the characters of banks of flowers.

As was customary, the shelf takes the form of a cymatium, and the projections above the consoles and central panel are characteristic details. Much like this, though simpler in the absence of any enriched moldings and having less projection, is the chimney piece on the second floor of an old Spruce Street house shown by an accompanying illustration.

Having thus provided against surprise, he began his investigation. There in the top corner of the side window were the wires. They followed the miter of the window architrave white-enameled to match and then, passing down for a few inches at the outside of the moldings, ran along the picture rail round the room, concealed in the groove behind it.

In furtherance of this thought, only the cornice with its jig-sawed modillions was employed at the ceiling and the flat dado was paneled off by the application of moldings to give it a lighter scale. The complete entablature was used only over the archway at the head of the stairs, where it was supported by square, fluted columns with beautifully carved capitals.

Remember that in dusting, the process should be a wiping; not a flirting of the cloth, which simply sends the dust up into the air to settle down again about where it was before. If moldings and wash-boards or wainscotings are wiped off with a damp cloth, one fruitful source of dust will be avoided.

Of all the various kinds of ornamental work displayed carving, tracery on cliff faces, moldings, arches, pinnacles none is more admirably effective or charms more than the webs of rain-channeled taluses.

Denis, I feel certain we have seen enough of them to duplicate him if necessary. I only meant to write about the churches, but I keep wandering from the subject. I could say that the Church of the Annunciation is a wilderness of beautiful columns, of statues, gilded moldings, and pictures almost countless, but that would give no one an entirely perfect idea of the thing, and so where is the use?

Some of it enters the planing-mills and is converted into moldings, finishing lumber, sashes, blinds, etc. In all forms it is loaded upon the cars, and shipped westward to be used in the construction of houses and bridges.
