is machinc-made, and there are several
hand stitches that may be used for thl,
purpose that will be in greater harmony
with 4 handworked waist. The sim
pest OF these connecting stitches is the
wcll-known herringbonc or fagOting
stitch When used in the manner sug-
gestcd it will better occupy the space ii
two rows are worked, in precisely thc
same manner, the stitches Of the second
row being taken into the material at
the right-hand side OF those OF the first
row. This stitch is worked from lett to
right. Both sections of the material
should be bastcd to rather stiff paper
keeping the space between an even
width.
There is another variation of the
fagotng stitch The first row is worked
in the usual manner and from left to
right. When it is completed, the work
is held so the open space forms a yer
teal line, running toward the worker,
and two buttonhole stitches are taken
on the two threads at each loop of the
iagoting stitch.
A New Buttonhole Stitch
The buttonhole stitches seen illus
trated show a rather more unusual
method OF joining a seam. 1t is ncces-
sary to turn the, work, having first one
edge then the other, toward the worker
as each group OF stitches is made. The
heavy knot at the edge of each stitch
is made by passing the thread that
hangs from the eye of the needle after
it is inserted in the cloth. under the
point in the opposite direction from that
in which the thread comes from the last
stitch. In the illustration the end Of
thread that comes from the eye is passed
under the point from right to left.
When the work is turned to work the
group of stitches on the other edge, the
thread from the last stitch will come
from the right, SO the end from the
eye should be passed under the point
from left to right. This will be found
an effective stitch that may have a
variety Of uses and may be worked in
threads of various weights.
Worked on tan linen with heavy white
lustrc thread, it will have an excellent
effect, and may be used in place of other
insertion in the waist. An st

unthrcading. The illustrations show the
method OF using this stitch.
The stitches are worked in groups Of
four and across the dividing line be-
tween the lace and the lawn, two into
the lace and two into the lawn; about
one-eighth OF an inch is taken up by the
needle for each stitch Make the first

Small puffs and separate braids make
the becoming arrangement Of the hair
a much easier matter than if all ones

it to more or less festive occasions.
This particular model is created out
of very fine lawn inset with lace. The
trimming is a combination of lace and

originating designs,
or arranging copies OF those seen on
perhaps quite expensive waists.
The usual method of applying lace is
to lay it on the face of the material,
pin it into the desired position or design,
then haste at each edge and stitch to the
lawn at the basting line. The lawn is
then cut away under the lace, leaving
enough edge at each side to turn back,
when it may be rolled and oyerhandcd
like rolled hem, or turned back fiat
and secured by a, second row OF
stitching.
fnsetting Lace
This is the simplest, though not the
most artistic way, to apply the lace;
another method is to inset it with the
ordinary herringbone or fagoting stitch.

entire piece OF lawn in which the lace
is to be inset to rather heavy wrapping
paper, and haste the lace, i'll the desired
design, through both the lawn and
paper. The lawn is then cut on line
even with each edge of the lace inscr-
ton, turned under and basted; this
leaves space between the lace ana
lawn, across which the hcrringbone
stitch is worked to hold the two to-
gether. Embroidery cotton is best for
this purpose.
Many Of the better class of ready
made waists show the lace inset with
hemstitchlng, but on these it is machine
work, and there is no attachment for the
ordinary household machine by which
Il may be done.
