rgest
flowers on the centre seam of the pocket, then the 2 smaller ones on
each side.

FOR THE LEAVES.--With darkest green make 8 ch., turn back, work 7 d.c.
down, join on the next green; work 3 d.c. up, 4 l., and 4 l., into the
top loop, 1 ch., 4 more l. into same loop, 4 l. down, 3 d.c., join on
the lightest shade: work d.c. all round, and 3 d.c. into the 1 ch, but
enclosing a wire pulled from white ribbon wire, taking care to bend
the end of the wire back after the 1st and last stitch to prevent its
slipping; make 6 of these leaves, arrange them as in engraving, and
with dark green wool sew them on.

To prevent the pocket from curving, cover a narrow piece of whalebone
the length with scarlet ribbon, and sew it across the centre on the
wrong side.

TOILET SACHET.

MATERIALS.--Three-quarters of a pound of Brooks' Great Exhibition
Prize Goat's-head Knitting Cord No. 16; and tapered indented Crochet
Hook, No. 20. A yard of pink or blue ingrain gingham.

This article, made in the form of an envelope, is intended to hold the
night-dress and cap, and lies on the pillow during the day, forming an
elegant appendage to the drapery. The lining should, of course, be of
a tint to suit the rest of the furniture, and may be of silk, if
preferred; but, as gingham will wash with the cotton, it is less
troublesome. The sachet is worked in crochet, the edging in knitting,
for which the receipt will afterwards be given.

Make a chain of 285 stitches, with three more, which you will twist;
miss these three, and work in d.c. along the row. Break off at the
end.

2nd row: d.c., working on the third of the three chain at the
beginning of the row, as if it were a d.c. stitch.

Observe, that as there are bits of thread left at the ends of each
row, they should be worked in at the next, which may easily be done,
as there are two close squares at the beginning and end of every row.

3rd: 2 close squares; then open squares till you come to within 7 d.c.
of the end. Finish with 2 close squares.
