41st and 42d.-Two rows of squares.

Now work 3 dc into every space on three sides, but not on the side above the top of the letters, making 7 de at each corner.

Border. 1st row.-Begin at the side where the letter S is, 31 the first into first loop, 3 ch, 3 1 the first into fourth loop, repeat this till within 4 loops of the corner, then in the corner loop make 3 1, 3 ch, 3 more 1 into same loop, now 3 ch, miss 3 loops, then 31 the first into fourth loop, now repeat till the corner loop of next corner, then 3 ch, then 31 into the same loop in which the last of the 3 1 was worked, now 3 ch, 3 1, the first into fourth loop and repeat.

2d. When at the end, turn back, work 3 1 on 1, 3

ch, repeat; at the corner, after the last 3 1 and 3 ch, make 3 1 under the 3 ch at corner, 3 ch, 3 more 1 under same, 3 ch, 3 1 on 1, repeat.

3d.-Turn back and work the same.

4th.-Turn back, de on the first of the 1 stitches,* 5 ch, 3 dc, under the 3 ch, repeat from*.

5th.-Turn back, 6 ch, 3 de on the de, repeat. 6th.-Turn back, 7 ch, 3 de on de, repeat. Now, along the top work a row of extra long stitches, made by twisting the cotton twice over the hook instead of once, beginning on the de stitches of the border, and working 5 1 stitches across the width of the border at regular spaces, then 11, 2 ch, 11 on every 1 across the squares, terminating with 51 in the width of the border.

Now 3 de into every space between the 1 stitches, then crochet the two pieces together on the right side of the work, or sewing will do as well. If the

tidy should require washing, let it now be done, and pressed between a double linen cloth, under a heavy weight; when dry, line it with colored cambric, omitting the border; double it in half, and run a small tuck at the bottom of the extra 1 stitches; in this tuck insert a narrow piece of whalebone, not quite so long as the work, and secure it at both ends; get a yard of satin ribbon, place a pin in the centre, and on one side of this pin sew on to the ribbon some pieces of old linen fringed about 3 inches in width, and 8 inches long; if this is doubled over the ribbon, it will make each piece 4 inches long; sew then on the other side of the pin some soft chamois leather the same width and length, now place it in the centre of the tidy, draw the ribbon over, and tie it in a bow at the back. This should be laid on the toilet-table, and not hung up, it will have the appearance of a book.

PLATES OF WINDOW DRAPERY.

(Sce Out.)

In another month, watering-places will be deserted, and thrifty housewives will be removing what Dickens, in his 'Bleak House," so cleverly calls the "drawing-room pinafores and curl papers." Brown Holland will be consigned to the linen chest for the winter, and well-papered cornices will shine forth in undiminished lustre. In anticipation of this annual house-cleaning and refurbishing, Mr. Carryl has prepared two elegant designs for parlor-window drapery.

No. 1 is distinguished for the peculiar elegance of the cornice and lambrequin; the first having wreaths of fine design and execution surmounting the heavy burnished bar which forms the base. From this depends a lambrequin with a new design, being a simple centre-piece, hung with rich fringe, which also depends from the cornice itself. The curtains are of satin laine, a deep contrast of maroon color and blue; the fringe, of course, matching it in hue. It is bordered with a wide gimp, and has a novel arrangement of pulleys and cords, by which it can be drawn back entirely from the window, if the room is too much shaded-or, as it sometimes happens, pictures require a stronger light-leaving the lace curtain and lambrequin only to obstruct the view. This is a most admirable arrangement, as our readers will see, if they consider the matter, and one that removes almost the only objection that is ever urged against drapery curtains. It will be noticed that the cords and tassels attached to the lambrequin are very elegant; those looping back the drapery are made to correspond in style and color. The lace

curtain is slightly full, and of a light and graceful design. No heavy curtains are now in use without one of lace or muslin to soften the effect.

No. 2 is in quite a different style, the cornice being lighter, and graceful as well as elegant in shape, the curved line being preferred by many. We would have our lady readers notice particularly the heavy cords and tassels, of Louis Fourteenth style, which we have attempted to describe to them in an earlier notice of Mr. Carryl's establishment. They are almost massive in weight, and yet are finished as carefully as the most delicate lace gimp intended for a lady's dress. The central pendant is particularly tasteful, and will, in style, take the place of the lambrequin. The drapery is of bracatelle gold and green, shading in stripes as it is gathered back in full fluted folds. It is lined with white India silk, and the edge is finished with a heavy green and gold cord, instead of a gimp. The lace curtain is a very rich foliage pattern, in application work, the border running around the piece.

Mr. Carryl has imported an Oriental or palm pattern, also in application, which surpasses anything we have ever seen for richness of design and execution.

The rose is also a very beautiful style, rich wreaths of buds and foliage forming the centre, and one of still more delicate work, making a border, fine enough for a lady's robe, or even undersleeves.

We shall have occasion, in a future number, to give other new fall styles, and more particularly designs for bed-draperies and chamber windows.

.KNITTED BERRIES AND FRUIT.

THE YEW AND ITS BERRIES.

BERRIES.

As they have a kind of waxy appearance, it is preferable to make them always in wool; but if the leaves were made of fine chenille, instead of wool, a branch of yew with its berries would be a very handsome ornament for a winter bonnet.

Cast on nine stitches on three needles (No. 20); three stitches on each needle, with drab Berlin wool split in two; knit one plain round, fasten on a bright pinkish scarlet shade of Berlin wool split, work one more plain round; in the next, increase one stitch at the beginning of every needle; knit four or five plain rounds, and cast off all the stitches. Cover a piece of leto, or very fine wire, with the thread of the same scarlet wool; sew this round the scarlet edge of the little cup just made; when the two ends of the wire meet, continue to sew one of them round the edge, so as to bring it exactly opposite to the other; turn down both ends inside the cup, make a little ball of drab Berlin wool, or cotton wool covered with drab silk, about the size of a young green pea; place it in the scarlet cup, gather the drab stitches; twist the wires together to make a stem, and cover it with green wool.

LEAVES.

If chenille is used, as it can be procured stiffened with wire, it will be sufficient to fold the chenille in two for each leaf, and tie one leaf alternately on each side of the branch; after ten or twelve leaves, place one berry and begin another similar bough. The boughs are afterwards added together in the same manner as the leaves have been, that is to say, one at the top, and the others alternately on each side of the branch.

If Berlin wool is used for the leaves, cover with green wool, split a few inches of the finest leto that you can find; take a piece of Berlin wool, not split, of bright, though rather deep shade of green; place it across your leto, near one end of it; twist the leto tight two or three times, cut the shortest end close to the twist, turn down both ends of the Berlin wool along the remaining leto, fasten both Berlin wool and leto together to a piece of wire, with a thread of brown half twist silk, split in two, and continue, as directed, for the branch of chenille leaves.

PATTERNS FOR SILK EMBROIDERY.

To be worked on flannel or merino, with fine silk.
