"THE ORATOR"
  
"The Orator" is one of
the most simple objects, and, in the hands of a clever exhibitor, one of the
most amusing, of all the handkerchief figures.
 To "make up" the
Orator, tie a common knot in corner A of the handkerchief (Fig. 1). You see this
knot in Fig. 2. Fit the knot on the
forefinger of left hand, as shown in Fig. 3, draw
the sides B and C over the thumb and middle finger to form the arms, and our
Orator stands forth (Fig. 4) ready to entertain his audience. If, now, the
speech of Othello, beginning, "Most potent, grave, and reverend
seigniors," or, indeed, any sounding remarks, be given, accompanied with
appropriate gestures of its arms and solemn nods of its head, the ludicrous
effect of the Orator will cause great fun and many a merry laugh.
