W. 150 STRAWBRIDGE & CLOTHIERS TRANSFER AND NEEDLEWORKCOVER. Instead of the fine linen, mull, batiste, orthe various materials which are commonlyused as foundations for needlework, lace orantique netting may be effectively employed. We give in our illustration a pattern forthis style of work. The ground work is ofcoarse net, worked entirely over in ecruthread, or, if preferred, antique netting maybe used. The foundation being ready, the patternis cut out of silk and basted on to the net-ting, and then caught down and held inplace by a buttonhole stitching of silk,either purse or coarse sewing silk. Where-ever it is required to add ornaments orstems of the needlework, a foundation ismade of the silk caught at each end to thenetting, and worked over in satin stitch,which is not caught to the netting. The square we give will serve as asample for a toilet pin-cushion, taking thesquare for one quarter. It can be finishedwith either lace or fringe. E. Malcolm. BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
