as shown in the design, always upon the same side, first in a slanting, then in a perpendicular direction, so as to form a triangle in double tape ; then carry the two ends slanting over each other, and make another triangle back to meet the first, which last will be single-so that

half the square will be single, the other half double, and the square must be of the same size as the space where the two tapes cress. Fasten with strong thread where the double triangles meet, and join the points to the material to be trimmed.

NECK - TYE.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THE materials are a skein of crochet silk of any color ; bone crochet-hook, No. 18, bell gauge. Make a chain of six stitches, close in the form of a ring, and crochet always in double stitch every row the same until the tye is sufficiently long. The tassels, at both ends, are of silk, the separate ends of which are untwisted, so as to appear fine, smooth, and bushy. The tassels are made in the usual manner ; the loose threads are bound together, and the second binding is made about a quarter of an inch below the first to form the head of the tassel. Then draw a thread up firmly from the second binding to the head of the tassel, so that a kind of puff is formed under it. This, of course, must be very neatly done.
