356. Alphabet (Capitals).

Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16.

The alphabet here illustrated is in the florid style; the graceful

flowing lines are worked in raised satin stitch, as well as the

variously-sized dots which ornament the letters.

357--Alphabet.

Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton Nos. 12 and

16.

The letters are worked in point d'or, or dotted stitch, with an outline

in fine overcast, and large raised spots in satin stitch. The ornamental

wreaths round the first five letters can of course be worked round any

of the others. It is very fashionable to work one letter only upon

handkerchief corners.
