Roll one edge finely,
and overhand on a plain lace footing an inch and a half wide. Whip
the other edge, and sew it round the circle, graduating the fullness
equally.
[Illustration: A MUSLIN TIDY TRIMMED WITH LACE FOOTING.]
Baste a bit of lace footing three-quarters of an inch wide in the
middle of the circle, giving it the form of a bow-knot with two ends.
The lace must be bent and folded into the form, but not cut. Run the
edges with embroidery cotton, and button-hole all round. Then, with
sharp scissors, cut away the muslin underneath, leaving the bow-knot
transparent on a thicker ground. Dry-flute the ruffle. This little
affair is very dainty and odd, one of the prettiest things which we
have seen lately.
AN ILLUMINATED BORDER FOR A PHOTOGRAPH.
St. Nicholas has given us of late such precise directions for the
process of illuminating in color,[2] that it is not needful to repeat
them; but we should like to suggest an idea to those of you who have
begun to practice the art.
