As suggested by the title, the design here presented may be used for
insertion, or for a center to a table cloth or scarf, or a handsome
spread. As represented it is intended for a center-piece, and the lace
from which the engraving was made is about half-a-yard long and
one-fourth of a yard wide. The ground-work is formed of Raleigh bars
made with picots, and the loops of braid are filled in with twisted
point d'Alencon bars.
This center-piece is very pretty made of ribbon with silk thread for the
bars, and in this event it may be made of any color desired, and added
to a spread or scarf of Surah silk or fine cloth, for which a border to
match may be made.
