flower may be used on a collar to form
the center OF the piece OF embroidery

No bit OF lace edge or insertion,
either, is too short to be OF use. For
the ends of jabots or to form a design
in small articles for the dressing table,
etc, the small bits of insertion are
very useful. 1t is not in the least
necessary that the various kinds of lace
be all OF one design. On the contrary,
this would not be the case with the
finest hand made articles which were
constructed OF material bought for the

of half a dozen patterns of lace on the
