The various stitches used to connect the different parts of point lacework are called bars, and upon the suitability of the bar to the special placeit is made to fill depends the beauty of the work. The Sorrento bar is one of the simplest used, and consists of a singlethread carried from right to left and fastened in the edge of the braid; thereturn row is made by simply twisting back to the starting point on thethread just carried across. These bars are usually made in groups of threeplaced close togetlier, with an equal distance between each group. Figures15 and 16, plate 3, show two applications of the Sorrento bar. Point dAlencon bars are useful, but as they have been referred to be-fore, we will pass on to the Venetian bar, which, while so simple as tohardly need description yet has an important place in lace making.
