Strawbridge & Clothier's quarterly . ds closely and with aneedle fasten their raw ends underneath thework.

In pre-paring for the next scallop, take the sevenththread of the group of seven threadsskipped. So continue across the board;skipping seven threads every time, andtaking up the seventh thread of the groupof threads skipped. Now cut off all the skipped threads, closeabove the first foundation-cord; securing-the raw ends beneath the work. This willcomplete the main part of the basket. Remove the work from the board, andtie together the two endsof each founda-tion-cord, on the wrong side of the work;securing them with a needle. Turn thework right side out. By this means thebasket is given its circular Fig. 4. To make the handles, attach to the deskone new foundation-cord, and to this fastenby a simple Loop, eight cords, each aboutayard in length. These eight cords arearranged in groups of four, half-an-inchapart. Begin with the right-hand group,and work a right-hand Solomons-knot,half-an-inch from the foundation - a series of four Solomons-knots,working alternately from right to left. Thenpass to the left-hand group of threads andrepeat the process. Next take the left-handthread of the right-hand group, and theright-hand thread of the left-hand groupand cross; preserving a distance of half-an-inch between the groups. Work asecond series of four Solomons-knots im-mediately beneath each series just made;using the left-hand thread brought fromthe right-hand group in place of theright-hand thread of the left-hand group;and then, the right-hand thread broughtfrom the left-hand group in place of theleft-hand thread of the right-hand
