The cloth lamade from a piece scream aterial, thirty-six inches square. Turn in and tack a narrow hem all round, and work a buttonholed border on the right side, as shown in Diagram A, using deep pink em- broidery cotton Now take a saucer measuring four or five inches across, lay it in one corner of the cloth, and pencil round it. Do the same with the ather three corners. Then take a scrap of pink linen and one of lue, and cut three circles the size of a penny from each.

Buttonhole them on to the cloth with matching cotton, and work a tiny ring of yellow french knots in the middle of each. Work lazy-daisy loops in green cotton between each but- tonholed circle.
