Heretofore, German handwork,
Fayal embroidery and drawn work,
we're the principal concentrations OF
high-class fancy table linens; but
Venetian and French handwork, to-
gether with Renaissance lace, may
now be added, constituting many
beautiful designs, which are often
reminder of popular styles in dress
materials or millinery; garlands OF
violets adorning table cloth borders,
and dainty Dresden figures in con-
nection with Honiton braid, bringing
about very attractive combinations.
A decided preference is evinced for
small figures in new table cloths, such
as ivy leaves, clover leaves, acorns or
blades of grass knotted together, and
usually the border is of similar pat
tern, somewhat enlarged. with perhaps
the addition of satin finished dots.
