CENTERPIECES OF MANY DESIGNS

surrounded by a border Of five-inch filet
insertion and an edging of two-inch lace.
Quite new was ten-inch table square
of filet. with the motif outlined by white
rope silk and brocaded with strips OF
fine white linen with a running vine de-
sign in different sized eyelets.
Possibly the most intricate of all was a
centerpiece made Of four squares OF hlet.
two six by six, the other two three by
three. These were arranged in an inner
square so the hlet motifs were at dag
onally opposite corners.
They were joined by straps OF two-inch
cluny lace on the outer edges and arranged
with cross in the center to meet "a.
This left irregular pieces OF white linen
in the center. which were embroidered in
a scroll design OF open work star-shaped
flowers and leaves. radiating from the
center.
Around the outside OF this somewhat
complicated inner square was a band OF
linen three inches wide. embroidered IN
the same vine. while the whole center
piece was finished with an edge OF lace
points about an inch and a half in depth.
Any of these pieces could be easily de-
signed and worked by a woman used 10
doing artistic embroidery. If drawing the
motif seems too difficult some simple
pattern could be stamped at almost any
art store.
