will find many methods of combining it with other designs or applying it
as an insertion, a border or an edging; and she may also use her own
taste as to darning with white or colored floss, or using white, ecru,
fancy-colored or black net.

SECTION OF PILLOW-SHAM.

This design has been mentioned in connection with the pillow-sham seen
upon page 109, and the engraving represents it perfectly. It may be
employed for the purpose mentioned or adapted to any other use required,
and may be copied exactly or varied to suit individual taste. Black net
darned with gold thread in this design would be pretty for decorating a
black silk gown or trimming a black hat.

SECTION OF PILLOW-SHAM.

Another portion of the pillow-sham mentioned is here illustrated, but
the design is quite as appropriate for any other decorative purpose.
Yokes for night-dresses may be darned in this pattern, or in any of the
ones previously given, with a very pretty effect; and when tinted
ribbon, mull or lawn is laid under the darned stripes, the effect is
very dainty indeed. Yokes to children's dresses may also be darned in
this pattern or the others, and little caps or hoods may be made to
match and lined with a tinted or white fabric.

END OF DRAPERY-SCARF OF DARNED NET.

The end of the drapery-scarf from which this engraving was made is about
fourteen inches square, and the sides are turned under for about a
quarter of an inch, or a little more, and darned down closely to
represent a selvedge. The design is Oriental in outline and is easy to
follow. As represented the scarf is made of white net and darned with
white linen floss; but the Oriental effect may be carried out more
perfectly if the darning is done with colored flosses with an
intermingling of silver or gilt thread. White, black, ecru or colored
net may be used. Two ends are made and then gathered to a smaller square
of net. This small square is then drawn together through the center
under a bow of wide satin ribbon, and the scarf is then fastened to the
article of furniture it is to decorate. To its ends may be added
tassels, rings or any edge-finish that is in accord with the materials
of the scarf. Black net darned with gold, crimson, peacock-blue, and
pale-yellow and pale-olive,
