, but presents it only
half of its actual width. The scarf is about a yard in length and is
darned with linen floss and edged with the finest feather-edge braid.
The center portions of the flowers and foliage are cut out after the
solid darning is made, and the spaces are then filled in with a fancy
mesh done with fine cotton in point de Bruxelles stitch.

NARROW CUFF OF DARNED NET.

This engraving presents a cuff of darned net in its actual width. The
design is also suitable for an edging and may be easily changed into an
insertion. Feather-edge braid is used to complete the cuff. A collar may
be made to match if desired.

CORNER OF KERCHIEF OF DARNED NET.

This kerchief is made similarly to the scarf-end illustrated on page 97,
and as represented, the corner is only one-half its actual size. The
kerchief itself is about twenty-two inches square and is very dainty in
effect. The stars which fill in the central portion are very simple to
make, and the eyelets in each are punched with a bodkin and then worked
once around in point de Bruxelles or button-hole stitch. The kerchief is
made of fine Brussels net and the darning is done with India floss.

TIDY OF DARNED NET.

This engraving represents a charming little tidy made of coarse wash-net
darned with wash-silk floss in Oriental colorings. The tidy has an inch
wide hem and is about eleven inches wide and twelve long. The hem is
fastened down by three rows of darning stitches, the outer row being
deep garnet, the middle row bright old-rose and the inner row deep
orange. One small fan is made of the orange and pale-blue, another of
the old-rose with sulphur-yellow, and the third peacock-blue and
crimson. One large fan is made of pale-pink and silver-gray (darned
together), and wood-brown; another is made of the garnet and the
sulphur-yellow, while the third is made of orange and pale-blue. The
scrolls meeting at the center are made, one of wood-brown, one of
sulphur-yellow and one of garnet, and the rest of the design is made in
different shades of dull green. Laid over white, this tidy is very
effective. It may be darned in one color on white, black or ecru net if
preferred, and with linen floss.
