tracing or outlining thread is also applied to fine braid and to point
lace cord, as in the alphabet No. 400 (see page 500).

BARS.
The word _Bar_ is applied to the various stitches used to connect the
various parts of point lace work, and the beauty of the work depends
greatly upon the class of bar and its suitability to the lace stitches
used. The simplest bar is--
No. 461.--THE SORRENTO BAR.--It is worked from right to left, a straight
thread being carried across and fastened with a stitch. The return row
consists of a simple twist under and over the straight thread; three of
these bars are usually placed close together at equal distances between
each group. The thread is sewn over the braid in passing from one spot
to another.

Sorrento bars are also applied as shown in illustration No. 462.
No. 463.--D ALENCON BARS are worked upon point de Bruxelles edging, and
are only applied to the inner part of a pattern, never being used as
groundwork bars.
