[Illustration: FORGET-ME-NOT DESIGN NO. 402 F.]
_Materials_--12 inch Size: Corticelli Filo Silk, 1 skein each 504,
519, 520, 521, 678, 781, 782, 783. 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 × 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.
Forget-me-not.--Work solid in satin stitch, working all stitches toward
the center. Make each flower of one shade, using 519, 520, 521, for the
different flowers. Make a French knot of Yellow, 504, in the center.
Work most of the buds with Pink, 678, and work the calyx with 782.
Leaves.--Work solid, using 781 on the edge, and shade toward the
midvein with 782. Veins and stems make with 783. (Easy.)

This dainty design of semi-conventional roses and leaves is quite
unique in style. For the handsomer kinds of embroidery there is a
decided leaning toward conventionalized forms, but many of the designs
offered are so intricate and stilted as to be hardly practical. This,
however, is both rich and graceful, with the added attraction that it
is not difficult to work. The treatment, as well as the design, is
somewhat conventional.
Border.--Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian
Floss, Cream White, 616.5.

Roses.--For the roses we suggest a most delicious new shade of pink
Corticelli Filo Silk, 101, 102, 103, 105. Take the darkest for the
curled over edge, working in a slanting direction. The outer edge,
however, should not be put in until the middle part is worked, so that
the edge can be worked over it. The inner part should be graduated,
putting the lightest next to the center so that one begins with 103
next the outer edge; 104 is left out so as to make a more decided break
from the curled over edge. The round center is very effective worked in
pale Gold Color, 113. This is covered with a network of crossed bars in
a dark, rich shade of Brown, 647, and outlined with the same.
Leaves.--The leaves are worked mainly with a soft shade of green, but
to avoid monotony golden brown is blended into the green at frequent
intervals, sometimes half a leaf is brown, sometimes it is tipped with
brown on one or both sides, or a little brown is worked in at the base
of the leaf. For the green shades take 106, 107, 108, 109, and for the
golden brown use 525.7, 525.8, 525.9. The stems and thorns are likewise
put in with the three shades of brown. In working the leaves let the
stitches take the direction of the veins; by this means the veining
will be expressed much better than by putting it in. (Not Difficult.)
