491.--_Oval for Cravats, &c._

Materials: Point lace cord; muslin; embroidery cotton; Messrs. Walter
Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread Nos. 14 and 18.

This beautiful oval is worked in point lace and embroidery. This is
begun from the centre on the muslin by over-casting the space filled by a
wheel. The eyelet-holes are then worked, and the satin stitch ornament
raised and prepared for working. The edge, of point lace cord, is then
laid on, and the under portion edged in tight and open point de
Bruxelles, the centre of the circles being worked in point de Bruxelles.
The light groundwork is worked entirely in Mechlin wheels, the satin
stitch being worked when these are completed. This pattern can be
enlarged and applied to many purposes. The muslin is cut away when the
whole work is finished.

492.--_Point Lace Trimming for Square Bodice_.

Materials: Braid; Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No.

We give two sizes of thread, as this design is capable of many uses, and
the size of the thread differs with these. The pattern is worked in
English rosettes and bars (see No. 467). No. 488 edging looks well with
this pattern.
