twisted only to the centre, where a tight hutton-hole stitch
joins them all; pass the'needle over one thread and under
the next all round, and continue till large enough; stop at
the single thread, twist round it, and fasten off.
Mechlin Lace is worked thus : A number of diagonal
bars are worked in button-
hole stitch across the space;
cross these by others in a
contrary direction, but but-
ton-hole them only to the
cross-bar. Pass the thread
loosely round the cross twice,
slipping the needle under one
and over the other thread, so
as to form a circle. This is
to be covered with button-
hole stitch. In the middle
of every alternate round
work a dot thus : instead of
drawing the thread tight,
put a pin in the loop; on
this loop work three button-
hole stitches, then take out
the pin and continue the
round.
Valenciennes Lace con-
sists of a number of
radiating threads
meeting in the cen-
tre, to be closely
darned with ex-
tremely fine thread.
Henriquez Lace
is done with Evans's
Boar's Head 120.
Make a diagonal line
across the space, and
return your needle
to the point you be-
gan from by twisting
the thread back
again. Make another
line parallel with it,
twist it over, then
form a spot by darn-
ing them backwards
and forwards about
sixteen times. Con-
tinue twisting the
single thread for
about a quarter of
an inch, and form
another dot. Repeat
till the line is
finished. Make simi-
lar ones at a quarter
of an inch apart, and
cross them in the
same way in the op-
posite direction.
Cordovan Lace
is similar. Two
twisted bars are
made, and a third
single one in going
back, on which the
spots are worked on
two twisted threads
and the single one ;
they are crossed by si-
milar ones, the cross-
ing forming a dia-
mond of four holes.

made by passing a thread from one
part to another, and twisting the thread back on the bar,
twisting it round till it appears like a rope.
Bars in Alenoon Point is like herring-bone, but the
needle is _ passed under the last thread after every stitch
which twists the two together.
Venetian Bars.—Pass the needle backwards and for-
wards two or three times, and work the threads over in
button-hole stitch. If a cross-bar, work the button-hole
stitch half the length, make
the bar in the opposite di-
rection, and work it before
finishing the first bar.
Edged Venetian Bars
are merely the same, edged
on each side with Brussels
or Sorrento edging.
Dotted Venetian Bars.
—Pass the thread across the
space two or three times
and make four button-hole
stitches on the bar; put a
needle in the fourth, and
draw it out; work three or
four button-hole stitches on
it, and continue.
English Bars.—Pass the
needle backwards and for-
wards between two opposite
stitches four times each way,
putting the needle
in the under side of
the edge.
Little Venetian
Edging is worked
like the other, hut
with only one but-
ton-hole stitch.
To join Point Lace
to Cambric, hem the
latter, and lay the
inner line of braiding
over the hem. Hem
it through the mid-
dle of the braid,
taking every stitch
through the cambric,
and then work a line
of Brussels edging
on to the inner part
of the braid, taking
every stitch through.
The frock we have
chosen for illustra-
tion is the closest
imitation of Antique
Point we have seen.
The flowers are
heavy and solid-
looking, while the
ground (of dotted
Venetian bars) is of
the light character
which is so greatly
admired by connois-
seurs in old lace.
