_Wreath of Leaves and Buds_.--For the wreath under the corner rose: 94 c
s, s c down twelve of these, * 7 c s, s c into third s c stitch; repeat
from * three times more, which brings it to top stitch; 8 c s, s c into
same stitch, * 7 c s, s c into third stitch down the other side; repeat
from * three times more; pass the thread under the stalk, 3 d c into
first loop of 7 c s, * 7 c, s c round next loop of 7 c s; repeat from *
three times, which brings it to top loop; 7 c s, s c into same loop;
repeat the 7 c into every loop down the other side; s c, 5 c s for a
stalk; 10 c s, 1 d l s into fifth stitch, 5 more d l s into same stitch.
Turn. D c along the top of these d l s. Turn. D c along last d c
stitches; 9 c s, s c into d c stitch on the other side. Fasten off; this
forms the bud. Commence again at the last s c of the stalk of leaf, s c
along thirteen stitches; repeat the leaf and bud five times more; s c
the remaining c s for a stalk. The wreaths under the roses at the sides
are only to have five leaves and five buds on each, and require a chain
of eighty-two stalks for the stem. Tack the flowers on paper wrong side
up, as seen in the illustration. Tack the buds to the roses, and unite
the leaves by a slight band in button-hole stitch. Tack the edges of the
roses together, and the ends of the stems to the adjoining wreath; then
remove the paper, and lay the bordering upon the edge of the scarf or
veil, which should be of Brussels net. Sew the edge of the upper
scallops of the rose to the net very firmly, and cut away the
superfluous net.

_Materials--One skein of cerise, one of blue fine crochet-silk, one

Thread the gold beads on the cerise silk, and the silver on the blue,

increasing in each stitch until there are 42 bead-stitches in the round;
now decrease each divisio
