220 hole. Crochet two rows on the back the same way (there should be thirty shells for the back and eleven shells on each front); join under the armhole with four chain stitches and work three shells into these chains in the 14th row.

Crochet eleven rows across, widening every third row in the centre of the back and finish with a border of shells all around it. The shells in the border are of three trebles into every other shell and a double crochet into the shell between. The neck has an extra row of shells before the border row. For the sleeve, commence under the arm and crochet twelve rows of shells into the armhole and finish with the border.

This is pretty made in two colors, using one for the body and the other for a border in this way:

20th row: Join the border color and crochet two rows, then one row of the body color, then two rows of the border color all around the edge of the sacque, and then finish with the shells of three trebles.

Run a cord with tassels or a ribbon through the holes at the neck, and you will have a neat sacque very rapidly and easily made.

Materials required— about three ounces of Saxony yarn — two of one color, one of the other. CROCHETED GLOVES. Four ounces of German fingering, with steel hook No. 12 (about equal in size to a No. 16 knitting-needle as sold in the stores) will make a full-sized, warm and comfortable gentleman's over-glove. The same quantity of Andalusian or Saxony, and a hook three or four sizes smaller, will make a lady's size glove.

Make a chain of seventy-three stitches, work seventy-two DC (double crochet) on it, unite into a ring and work six rounds of DC.
