of the pattern; we, therefore, recommend No. 70: but, of course, it is optional to use coarser. In No. 70 Cotton, about 6 patterns, besides the border, will make a curtain two yards wide; but in No. 40, not more than five patterns would be required. The border should be worked at each edge, which may very easily be done by working backwards from the centre of the last pattern, to the edge. It is not necessary to work a border at the top of the curtains. Each pattern contains 61 squares or 183 stitches; the border 45 squares or 135 stitches; reckoning from the extreme edge to the straight line 8 squares, which occurs in every scroll between the patterns. For 6 patterns and 2 borders, therefore, 1,368 stitches would be required for a foundation, with the one over, always needed in square crochet. In working the border along the bottom, care must be taken completely to reverse it at the centre, that is, after 3 patterns, otherwise the corner would not be found to go right. * * * * * KNITTED LACE FOR CURTAINS, &c.

MATERIALS.--Brooks' Great Exhibition Prize Goat's-head Knitting Cord, No. 40, with a suitable Crochet Hook. The number of stitches in this curtain must depend, of course, on the width of the window for which it is intended. Each pattern requires a foundation of 102 chain stitches; and the borders at the sides 57 chain each. As there will be about 560 stitches in a yard, or very nearly five patterns and one border, it will be easy to
