to be.
The stitches, as here indicated, are point d'Angleterre rosettes, and
point de fillet, with small "spiders" on the latter. A dainty
picot-braid edges the design.

"CARDINAL'S POINT" LACE.

This engraving represents a modern adaptation of an ancient lace which
may be made of fancy Battenburg braid and plain Raleigh bars. The design
is not especially definite in its outlines, and may be imitated with any
variations which may seem pleasing to the copyist. The picots are made
after the method directed at the illustration of point de Venise bars in
the department devoted to stitches. "Cardinal's point" of genuine make
is of Italian origin, and in the earlier eras, was largely used for the
decoration of church vestments and draperies.

BATTENBURG EDGING AND INSERTION, WITH CORD.

These two engravings show a very pretty design for Battenburg lace made
with a cord finish. The application of the cord has been fully described
elsewhere, where a different design of the same kind of work is given.
In the present instance the spaces are filled in with twisted bars,
"spiders" and rosettes in point d'Angleterre. The specimens from which
the engravings were made are a trifle wider than seen in the pictures;
but the width is a matter of individual taste, and also a result of the
braid selected. A professional lace-maker will enlarge or adapt the
design to accord with personal requirements.

TAPE-GUIPURE DESIGN, FOUND IN AN OLD CHURCH.

The design here illustrated was found in the old church of Santa
Margherita, in Italy. It was drawn on parchment, and was undoubtedly
intended as a design for altar lace. It was mentioned in a book of
accounts for the year 1592, found in the archives of the church
designated and is therefore of antique origin; but it may be easily
adapted to modern methods of lace-making, and could be appropriately
filled in with either Italian or Genoa lace stitches or with a
combination of both, and twisted bars. Done with fancy Battenburg braid,
it would be quite similar in effect to the "Cardinal's Point"
illustrated on another page.
