Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16.
The effect of this design when well worked is excellent, for, although
simple, the contrast between the letters and stars throws each into
relief. Veined and raised satin stitch, with very small eyelet-holes,
are the stitches used here.

401.--_Marie_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton Nos. 20 and
36.
This name is embroidered in satin stitch; the veinings are well defined,
and the tendrils should be worked with No. 30 cotton, as they require
very fine work. Stars of overcast and eyelet-holes are the only
ornaments. [Illustration: 401--Marie.]
402.--_Maria_.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 30.
The initial letter of this name is worked in overcast and point de pois,
the remaining letters in satin stitch, the ornamentation in satin stitch
and overcast.

403.--_Maude_.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 18.
This name is worked in veined satin stitch; the small stars in raised
satin stitch, and the elegant tendrils are worked in overcast. This work
is peculiarly adapted for the marking of a trousseau.
