 DUSTER-BASKET, WITH VARIEGATED EMBROIDERY. BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

MATERIALS.-White and fawn-colored cloth, gold, dark-red, blue, and blue-green silk cordon, gold cord, brown sarcenet ribbon, one inch broad, brown floss silk. The basket must be purchased. The ornaments consist of scallops of different form and size placed alternately. No. 2 represents the largest in full size. The Chinese flower patterns are worked in flat stitch upon white cloth, and have always a gold-colored calyx, with one blue, one bright-red, and one blue-green petal. The flowers are joined with stalk and herringbone stitch, and ornamented with gold cord. The oval joining scallops of fawn cloth are five inches and a quarter long and one inch and three-quarters broad. At the upper-part they are ornamented with large button-hole stitches in gold-colored silk to represent ears of barley; along the middle are three blue-green silk

CROCHET

stitches, held together by one cross stitch. The point of each scallop is ornamented with a tassel of brown sewing-silk. The bows upon the cover, and the ruche, which covers the joining on of the ornaments, must correspond with this.
