are 8 chs of 5*, make 1 L in the bar be- the same size as in engraving. Cut the fore these 8 chs; 5 ch 1 L in 3rd 5 ch; 5 canvas round full two inches larger. With On the canvas, with pencil, draw a circle

darkest wool, work, in cross stitch, a line

any other cross stitch, instead of crossing
each stitch separately, work the whole line
as if it were plain sewing, then turn back
and cross every stitch in the same way.)
Now take the other two shades, and work on
each side these dark lines in the same way.
With the darkest wool, work, in cross stitch,
on the circle line, not going outside the ends
of the cross, but keeping on a level with
these.
Now turn down the edge of the
canvas close to this line, and stitch it neatly
and firmly down, and press it on the wrong
side with a hot iron; cut off the superfluous
canvas. With a pen, ink the edge of the
canvas which is turned and may show a
little white. Now, with Boar's Head cot-
ton (doubled) sew a bugle on each cross
stitch of the canvas, always placing it the
same way that the wool stitch is crossed.
When finished, gum the back where the bu-
gles are sewed on. When dry, line the
canvas with black silk.

For the Border. - With silk and fine needle. Tie a knot in the silk. Thread 3 bugles; turn back; put the needle through 2nd bugle; then thread another, and put it through 2nd bugle; continue to do this till the work is 5 bugles in width, without fastening off; thread 3 more bugles, and repeat. Make a sufficient number of diamonds to go round the outside of pen-wiper. Turn the work on the wrong side; place the diamonds for the bugles to lie the same way as those sewed on; now sew each point of the diamond by the thread at end of stitch to the pen-wiper, slipping the needle under the black silk from point to point. For the line of bugles outside the diamonds; when the diamonds are sewed on, slip the needle through the bugles, or sew into every stitch of thread at the end of bugles till to the opposite point of diamond; then thread 5 or 7 bugles, and attach it by the stitch of thread at end of diamond. Continue this all round, and fasten off. Cut a piece of green velvet the size of the pen-wiper, including the border. Cut 6 pieces of Alpacca or thin cloth much less than the velvet; place these 6 pieces in the centre, the velvet outside; sew altogether securely. Then in the centre place around gilt button, piercing a hole through all the pen-wiper, to admit of placing the shank of the button therein, which shank fasten securely, to prevent its slipping through.
