sale in the New-York stores They are said to have
been imported and the work of girls III the convent
schools of Europe. Considering the price at which
thew were sold-lO to 60 cents each-they were GER
taiply very cheap and satisfactory. although on
close examination the work showed signs OF haste
md carelessness. we have however, thought that
our lady readers and workers would like TO know
how they were made and so we take pleasure III
describing one OF them.
With German crochet cotton No. Is and hook to
match make chain of stitches and unite into
ring.

repeat from five times. AT the end make och.
and ioin with single to the top of the first DC.
Sd round: group of SIX trebles under each
CHI. making the middle trebles longer than the end
ones in order to give the scalOp a regular curved
shane. There ought to be seven scallops in ALL

the same ch repeat from three more times, or
IS trebles in all under the CHI. Now
make l ch and repeat again from the beginning all
round The lengths Of the tTeblcs IN these groups
must be so regulated that the scallops pointed.
This finishes one rosette Twelve rosettes-4 rows,
3inarow-are TO be made for the tidy. The two
upper points OF one rosete joined the two lower
points of the rOsette above. In the same way two
points are Joined at the bottom and at each side This
Joining is made in working the last row OF each TO
settle by taking out the hook, putting it through the
point to be attached, and drawing the loop through
before going on with the next part Of the rosette
For the corners between the rOsettc, make cham
of 10 or ~ stitches join into ring and work under
it "a trebles. On the next round L DC on hTst

first scalop above, l DC point Of seal

started FROM Now DC on next treble, chain TO
second scallop above, join with DC and make
chain back, DC on same treble 1.-THE second.
Next make DC and repeat from the beginning
with the rosctte on the left Continue all round.
II the CHAINS from the little corner piece to the
scallops are long pico half way on each will break
ND the monotony of the straight lines. Round
the edge of the tidy where only half spaces
exist between the rosettes, little ring of DCs
NAV be Joined to 2 scallOps-one on each side-and
to the final chain which runs around the whole.
For this chain start say with the rosette on the
right hand bottom corner the first of the two low
er scalops of the rosette. Make DC on TINS point

the second scallop repeat the Oh, DC for
four more scallcps. then CHI, treble on the next

on the third scalop. 8 ch treble on the next
scallop ch, treble Tor long on the ring in half
space ch / treble IN first scallOp OF the third ro-
settle. Repeat in thus way all round. On the next
two rounds work / treble, 8 oh 1.-THE treble worked
over the chalns) all round. and finally take three
lengths of cotton about inches long and knot them
under each ch in the last round OF course the
open border surrounding the rosottes Is made just
long enough TO lie fiat when the tidy is laId down
without stEaining or pickering, and the directions
must be modified If necessary to do this; that is one
or two chains more or less must be made as re-
quired and trcbles can be substituted for DCs
and longs for trebles, the reverse, % NAV DE
