the difference.

No. 532 has similar borders to No. 531; the centre is occupied by a star
(see page 512) in point de feston; four large wheels surround this; the
square stitches between are filled with small wheels and with groups of
long loops, fastened together in sheaves. Point d'esprit and point de
toile, worked one way only, complete this square.

533 _to_ 536.--_Four Patterns in Guipure d'Art_.

Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 2 or 16,
according to the size of the work.

These four patterns will be found useful for filling up small squares,
or for varying the usual groundwork of point d'esprit.

[Illustration: 533.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]

No. 533 is a succession of point de feston stitches, which half fill
each square of the netting. This pattern must be worked with great
regularity.

[Illustration: 534.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]

No. 534 consists of a kind of double point d'esprit.

No. 535 is a thread twisted and taken _across_ each square, and
resembles lace stitches.

[Illustration: 535.--Pattern in Guipure d'Art.]

No. 536 is a succession of small close wheels, intermingled with point
d'esprit. This grounding is very effective.

537.--_Lace Border for Veils, &c_.

Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 16;
strip of square netting of the required length; oblong frame.

This simple border is easily and quickly worked. The edge is overcast,
the ground worked in point d'esprit, the border in point de toile, and
the pattern in point de reprise. When completed the netting is cut away
from the overcast edge.

538 _and_ 538_a_.--_Squares in Guipure d'Art_.

Materials: 2 squares of netting of 8 holes; Messrs. Walter Evans and
Co.'s Mecklenburg thread No. 10 or 16, according to the fineness
required.

[Illustration: 538.--Square in Guipure d'Art.]

These squares are very pretty for cravat ends, cuffs, or handkerchiefs.
They are worked on netting with very fine cotton in the usual manner,
beginning on two stitches in one corner The different stitches of the
guipure darning can be distinctly seen in illustration, and are point de
feston, point de reprise, point de toile, and point d'esprit on No. 538,
and
