net darned
all over in the pattern seen in the picture, and worn over a tinted silk
slip. The all-over work is very pretty indeed, and the design may be put
to any of the many uses for which darned net is suitable. It is pretty
for yokes, pillow-shams, counterpanes, infants' dresses and
carriage-robes, parasol-covers, sofa-pillow covers, and in fact for any
article that may be made of lace.

The points of the flounce are darned back and forth in selvedge effect;
but they may be worked in button-hole stitch if preferred. A touch of
color may be given the work by using a little tinted or colored floss
with the white, though the latter is most generally selected for darning
net. In using tints, more delicate shades will be found in silk
darning-flosses.

DESIGN IN DARNED NET.

This design is extremely simple, and it may be used separately as a
border or insertion, or in combination with parts of other designs in
making up a large or elaborately-worked article. It is dainty enough for
the decoration of an infant's garment if desired for such ornamentation,
or heavy enough for elaborating an adult's attire.

DESIGN FOR A YOKE OR SECTION OF A GARMENT IN DARNED NET.

The yoke, sleeves, collar, cuffs and flounce of a child's dress were
beautifully darned in the design illustrated by this engraving, and the
effect was far more charming than can be conveyed by a picture. The
little gown was airy enough for a sprite, and its greatest cost was in
the outlay of the time devoted to its construction; and even this could
not be counted a real outlay, as only odd moments of leisure were
employed in making the pretty garment. White net, white floss and white
India lawn were the composing materials.

DESIGNS FOR DARNED NET.

Both of these designs are very pretty for diverse purposes, and also
very easy to follow. Either may be used as a heading, an insertion or a
border, separately or in conjunction with other designs. Many of the
suggestions given concerning other designs upon previous pages will
apply to these two designs, which fact leaves little to suggest for them
individually. Each darner will think out for herself many uses to which
to put designs, many combinations in which they will prove effec
