. Godey's lady's book . WORK DEPARTMENT. 189 NEEDLE-BOOK IN,CROCHET. This little article, so simple and expeditiouslymade, is extremely pretty when seen completed,and is well calculated for a young lady to pre-sent to her friends, or to work a number ofthem in various colors as contributions to cha- ritable bazaars. It is nothing more than plaincrochet worked over a fine cord, and goinground and rourrtl until the size of our engrav-ing is reached, or a very trifle larger. Twothreads are employed for the crochet, and whenone of these is gold, the effect is greatly im-proved. Violet and gold, blue and gold, green. and gold all look rich and handsome ; but twosilks of well contrasting colors are also in goodtaste. Our engraving shows when the darkand light succeed each other, and we needscarcely say that where the one appears it isworked over the thread of the other, which isresumed in its turn after the proper interval. When the round has been completed, it is edgedwith a row of loops which form the border. Twoof these fastened together form the needle-book,the leaves between being of fine cloth or cash-mere, worked round the edge with a row ofopen button-hole stitch in colored silk. EMBROIDERY.
