results in a charmingly Eastern or Oriental effect. [Illustration: No. 14.--End of Drapery-Scarf of Darned Net.] No. 15. DESIGN FOR A CORNER OR SQUARE OF DARNED NET. A very pretty design, as simple as it is effective, is here represented. According to the purpose for which the work is intended, and the color of the net selected, the darning may be done in cotton, linen or silk, and in white, black, ecru or colors. The pattern may be modified in any way pleasing to the taste, or diversified by the introduction of portions of other designs or individual ideas. [Illustration: No. 15.--Design for a Corner Or Square of Darned Net.] No. 16. BORDER FOR DARNED NET. A pretty border for tidies, draperies, flounces, yokes, collars or any article requiring a border is here illustrated. Any of the suggestions given above may be adopted in making this border, which may be used separately or in combination with other borders, according to individual taste. Gold thread upon black or white net would, in this design, result in a very effective dress decoration. [Illustration: No. 16.--Border for Darned Net.] No. 17. DESIGN FOR DARNED NET.

For window draperies it would need to be much broader and larger in other ways than as represented. [Illustration: No. 17.--Design for Darned Net.] No. 18. EDGING OF DARNED NET. The design here presented is of full size, and very easy to work. A dainty edge in button-hole stitch is worked for the border, and the net is afterward cut out to form the tiny scallops. This is a pretty pattern for neck and wrist frills, jabots or ruffles, or for the adornment of kerchiefs for the neck or pockets, or for any purpose for which lace edging is selected. [Illustration: No. 18.--Edging of Darned Net.] No. 19. DESIGN FOR DARNED NET. This engraving represents a flounce of darned-net in its actual size or width.
