The ornamental
wreaths round the first five letters can of course be worked round any
of the others. It is very fashionable to work one letter only upon
handkerchief corners.

Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 16
This alphabet is worked in applique; the ears of corn only are worked in
overcast, satin, and knotted stitch. These letters look particularly
well on transparent materials. The ears may be omitted by beginners,
though they add much to the beauty of the alphabet. To this alphabet are
added the ten numerals, which will be found exceedingly useful. By means
of the whole alphabet and all these figures, any combination of initials
and numbers can be made.

fine black silk.

russe; for these the fine black silk is employed.
