[Illustration: MAIDEN-HAIR FERN DESIGN 402 E.]
_Materials_--12 inch Size: Corticelli Filo Silk, 1 skein each 527,
780, 781, 782, 783, 783.5. Smaller sizes take less silk. Dealers
can furnish stamped linen of this design, ready fringed, in 7, 9,
12, and 18 inch sizes. See page 92. They can also furnish stamped
and fringed linen for tray cloth, 10 x 14 inches, to match this
doily. The above quantity of silk will be more than enough to work
the tray cloth.
These fringed doilies are imported goods of fine quality. They are neat
and dainty, require little silk to work, and together make as pretty a
set of six patterns as we have seen.
Ferns.--Work solid. Slant the stitches toward the bottom, and thus
bring them to a point at the stem. Make each leaf of one shade. Begin
the leaves at the top of the spray with Corticelli Filo Silk, 780, and
work down gradually darker, using 783.5 for those at the bottom of the
spray. Work the stems with a split thread of Filo Silk, Brown, 527,
making the stitches very fine. (Easy.)
