In this design will be observed a favorite combination--the rose and the
butterfly. Close inspection will also disclose that the filling-in
stitches are of a diverse character, and that to this diversification
much of the beauty of the work is due. As most of the stitches are
easily recognized, and as the copyist can easily adapt methods for the
combinations seen, it will not be necessary to definitely describe them.
The square may be used for a scarf-end in connection with the edging No.
53 seen on page 91, if the braid selected is sufficiently fine. When
coarser braid is chosen, the square will be pretty for doilies, tidies
or the center of a table spread. The design may be daintily made up of
ribbon, with silk for the stitches. In this event it may be set into a
scarf or drapery of China or Surah silk with charming results.
