MONOGRAMS AND INITIALS.

* * * * *
[Illustration: 362.--Alice.]
362.--_Alice_.
Material: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton No. 20.
The letters of this name, except the initial letter, are very simple,
being worked in plain satin stitch, while the initial letter is worked
in raised satin stitch, point de poste, and overcast.

363.--_Amalie_.
Materials: Messrs. Walter Evans and Co.'s Embroidery Cotton Nos. 16 and
20.
[Illustration: 363.--Amalie.]
The highly-ornate initial of this name is not difficult to work,
requiring only great regularity and evenness in embroidering the
tendrils and eyelet-holes. The veinings of the letter must be carefully
defined. The remainder of the name is executed in plain satin stitch, a
few eyelet-holes being introduced.
"Amalie" can easily be altered into "Amelia" by changing the place of
the _a_ and _e_.
