RETICELLA WORK.

Openwork IS favorite form of en-
hroidery at the present time and ret
icella, the old Italian openwork, is
one of the most effective manifesto
tions of this type of needlework. This
embroidery is executed on heavy
white linen of firm texture. Squares
a'e cut out of the linen at regular in
tervals, their edges heavily over
handed with a linen thread. Across
the open space made by cutting out
the squares linen threads are stretch
ed, upon which various designs are
worked in weaving and buttorhole
pattern. This work is very durable
and exceedingly effective.
