POINT LACE COLLAR AND CUFF.

A very handsome point lace set is here illustrated, and may be easily
followed by an expert lace-maker; but it will be wiser for the novice to
obtain a pattern or design of the shape and size desired, from a
professional lace-maker. Point de Grecque, point de Bruxelles, point de
Venise, Sorrento bars, and rosettes and rings are all employed in
carrying out this design. As elsewhere mentioned, any fine stitch
preferred may be used for filling-in purposes when those suggested or
marked out upon a design are not admired.

DESIGN FOR TABLE SCARF IN BATTENBURG LACE.

The scarf-end from which this design was copied is about ten inches
deep, and it is about fourteen or fifteen inches wide. It will be seen
from these dimensions, that it is impossible to produce a full-size
design of it on these pages, but one of any size desired may be obtained
at any lace-makers; or, a clever student of lace-making may enlarge the
design to suit her own requirements. According to the size of the
scarf-end, wide or narrow braid must be selected, with thread to
correspond. The stitches used in filling in are point de fillet, point
de Bruxelles and point d'Angleterre, and Raleigh, Sorrento and d'Alencon
bars, and rosettes and "spiders."

APPLE DESIGN FOR A CORNER IN BATTENBURG LACE.

This design is for the corner of a scarf, spread, tidy or pillow-sham
and is very popular, as it is effective though simply made. The fine
stitches are point de Bruxelles, while the others are Raleigh, Sorrento
and point Grecque bars. Plain or fancy braid, or a combination of both
may be used in this design with a charming effect.

ROMAN PUNCH-GLASS DOILY IN POINT LACE.

Doilies of this description are generally made about four inches square.
The engraving opposite pictures the doily mentioned as somewhat smaller,
but the design is sufficiently large to enable the student to make her
doilies as large as she desires them to be, as it is easy to
follow. The corner spaces are filled in with twisted bars and rings
worked at the same time; but rosettes or spiders may be worked in place
of the
