t d'Angleterre.] NO. 21.--POINT DE FILLET AND POINT DE REPRISE.--The net-work seen in this engraving is the first stitch mentioned, while the block-work is the second. Both are clearly illustrated and need no written explanation of the methods employed in making them. [Illustration: No. 21.--Point de Fillet And Point de Reprise.] NO. 22.--POINT DE TULLE.--This stitch is used as a ground-work for very fine work, and is worked in rows backward and forward in the same stitch as open point d' Espagne. When this is completed the work is gone over a second time by inserting the needle under one twisted bar, bringing it out and inserting it at + and bringing it out again at the dot. This produces a close double twist which is very effective. [Illustration: No. 22.--Point de Tulle.] NO. 23. FAN LACE STITCH.--Commence at the right side, and work as follows: _First row._--Make 1 button-hole stitch and miss the space of 8, which will leave a long loop. _Second row._--Make 8 button-hole stitches in each loop. _Third row._--Make 7 stitches into the spaces between the 8, and so decrease one in every row until only one remains, as may be seen by referring to the illustration. [Illustration: No. 23.--Fan Lace Stitch.] NO. 24.--ROSE POINT LACE STITCH.--Make a foundation of single threads, crossing them to form the large squares. Work a button-hole stitch at each crossing to make it firm. Now begin at the top, at the right side and fill the first square with Brussels net stitches, finishing at the lower left corner. Fill every alternate square in the same way as seen in the picture. Now cross the open squares diagonally with two threads, twisting each thread around the adjoining one as represented. (Carry one thread across all the squares from corner to corner first, then twist back, fastening at the corner started from; cross these threads in the same way from the opposite direction). When twisting the thread back from the last set of crossings, make a rosette at each center crossing as follows: Keep the space open with a pin and trace round it with a darning movement five or six times; commence at the single thread and work a close button-hole stitch over the tracing entirely around, and then twist along the single thread to the center of the next square. This is a very effective design for spaces. [Illustration: No. 24.--Rose Point Lace Stitch.] WHEELS AND ROSETTES. Wheels and rosettes are used to fil
