Clematis Doily No. 56 D.

Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615, or if desired use Light Green Persian Floss, 780. If fringe is wanted buy the 27 inch square of stamped linen, buttonhole the edge very fine and even all around with Corticelli Etching Silk. Then fringe the linen to the buttonhole edge, comb out the threads evenly and trim to any length wanted. (Not Difficult.)

Purple Clematis Doily Designs Nos. 56A, 56B, 56C, and 56D.

Three of these doilies are designed so that the decoration will show even should a tumbler or a finger bowl be placed upon them, and if six or a larger number of doilies are desired for a set, repeat these three patterns. In the fourth design, No. 56 A, the decoration is confined to the center of the doily, this being intended for a bread or cake covering, or for any purpose where a central decoration is most useful. The instructions given for the clematis centerpiece will be ample for working these doilies. (Not Difficult.)
