How To Make
FiletLace

The easiest lace to make, and the
one that shows up ones efforts the
best, is known as filet.
To enable experienced lace makers
as we'll as beginners to easily follow
the patterns the following should al
ways be kept in mind:
A chain stitch is made by pulling
the thread through loop.
The first step in making-either in
sertions or edgings i'll filet, is to GRO
Chef a chain OF chain stitches. II youl
patterns calls for six meshes, then
you will need three times six or Is
stitches with one added to make the
first pillar. In other words, always
multiply your meshes by three and
secure the proper number OF stitches
and add one.
To turn corner
II your first mesh is an open mesh
it takes five stitches. So in the ex-
ample above given you should have
IL stitches for the width OF the in
sertion or edging. and five additional
to make the turn; double crochet into
the seventh stitch from the needle.
To make an open mesh after the
corner is turned:
1t takes two chain stitches and a
double crochet stitch into the third
stitch from the double crochet used
in turning the corner. The last pillar
Tor double crochet of a mesh) makes
the first double crochet of the next
mesh, no matter If it is an open or
closed mesh.
To make closed mesh:
Double crochet into four chain
stitches for first mesh. and If two or
three closed meshes follow one an
other, the last double crochet OF the
first mesh is the first for the second
mesh. In other words, three double
crochet stitches will make the second
and third mesh, while it takes four
for the first mesh.

SHOWN BY WOMEN
IN STATE NEE rs

Oklahoma City, jan. 9,-1'hat there
will be z full delegation of women
attending the Democratic Women's
convention to be held here on the
27ta day of January, is proven by
the active part being taken among
the women over the stlte in the Sc

different counties in the state con
vention. From the reports that come
in from many Of the counties to
democratic headquarters in 1this city,
this first state convention of demo-
cratic women threatens to rival in
interest tie conventions of the old
war horses that have held conven-
tions since the beginning Of time. 1T
is indeed pleasing to see the women
take such an interest in this, the
first convention. since so many have
stated that they did not appreciate
