MATERIALS. Blue sarsnet ; black sewingsilk; blue sarsnet ribbon ; emery. Cut out a cushion in linen the size shown in the design, fill it quite full with emery, then cover it with a cornflower-blue sarsnet ; sew at the back cornflower-blue ribbons at regular distances, according to the design, and tie them in a bow at the top. Then work for the center with black sewing-silk the little rosette in tatting as follows : -Five closed scallops or loops joining, consisting of thirty-four double stitches, of which two and two are separated by one picot, consequently there will be sixteen 230

picots ; the remainder consists of trefoils and picot rings. For each of the trefoils, work three scallops containing six double stitches and six picots, separated always by two double stitches. Each picot ring consists of nine picots separated by two double knots. The trefoils and rings are all joined together in the usual manner (see design. ) The connected edging, round the outer edge, consists of six double stitches and six picots, separated by two double stitches, then again six double stitches ; follow these directions untils enough is made for the outer edge.
