Volume 41 part 1 of November 1913 to April 1914 contained a reader's letter, published in the Letterbox column, which described how to fold the Lily and a six-petalled variation. It is noteworthy that the letter-writer mentions learning this design from 'a Japanese student'.

The 'Nantasket Sink' referred to in the opening paragraph of the letter is a misremembering of 'Nantucket Sink', a design which had appeared in the issue of St Nicholas for August 1887, and which turns out to be an alternative name for the Sanbo On Legs.
