titches previously described may be used in making such a
collar if those mentioned are not admired; and the addition of buttons
or rings will improve the work greatly.

FLOUNCE IN BATTENBURG LACE.

A very elegant flounce of Battenburg lace may be made after the design
represented on the opposite page. The picture shows the flounce just
one-half its actual width; but even this width would be very handsome as
a band for the bottom of a dress. By a close inspection of the stitches
seen and a reference to these illustrated in the department devoted to
stitches, the various kinds here used may be easily identified. They
consist of point de Venise, point de Bruxelles, Sorrento and
d'Alencon bars and "spiders." A fine picot braid edges each
side of the flounce. The design can be obtained in any width desired
from a reliable lace-maker.

BUTTERFLY DESIGN FOR POINT LACE.

This design is for point lace braid, and is very easily made. Fancy bars
made after an adaptation from the d'Alencon bars, and point de Venise
stitches are used for filling in. The butterfly may be used as a portion
of an edging design, or as a corner or center for any small article to
be decorated. The lines extending from the head are made with a fine
over-and-over stitch, or a fine cord.

VENETIAN POINT LACE.

This is a design containing many of the features of antique lace
patterns, and is made of narrow tape and fine cord combined with fancy
stitches. The lace from which the engraving is made is about twice as
wide as the picture represents it, but as the pattern differs in its
sections for several inches at a time, the design could not be given
full size. It will be seen that in the section illustrated no two
figures are alike. The filling-in stitches consist of combinations and
groupings of many of the stitches previously illustrated and described.

BUTTERFLY DESIGN FOR FINE BATTENBURG LACE.

This design, developed in Battenburg lace with d'Alencon and Sorrento
bars and small "spiders" or dots, makes a pretty ornament for centers or
corners, or is effective when introduced as a part of an edging design.
Point or Honiton braids may also b
