Forget-me-not Design No. 402 F.
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.
