Point d'Alencon is worked under and
over in alternate stitches, like hem stitch. Nos. 442 and 443 show point
d'Alencon. In No. 442 a twisted stitch is worked over the plain point
d'Alencon, which is clearly shown in No. 443; this twist is made by
passing the thread three times round each plain bar, and working the
knot shown in illustration No. 442 over _both_ strands of the bar.
[Illustration: 443.--Point d'Alencon, with Button-hole Stitch.]
The POINT D'ALENCON No. 443 is a festoon of close button-hole stitch
worked over the plain bars.

No. 444.--POINT D'ANGLETERRE (Open English Lace).--Open English Lace is
thus worked:--Cover the space to be filled in with lines of thread about
one-eighth of an inch apart, then form cross lines, intersecting those
already made and passing alternately under and over them; work a rosette
on every spot where two lines cross, by working over and under the two
lines about 16 times round, then twist the thread twice round the
groundwork thread, and begin to form another rosette at the crossing
threads.
