pockets, strips of toile ciree, or American cloth, 2 inches in width, are inserted. The band in the middle is 1 inches wide, 5 inches in length. Two flaps are stitched on at the outer edge of the same width as the length of the strap, 5 inches long and 3 inches deep. The whole must be neatly bound, and the binding stitched with silk.

should be placed according to those shown in the largest engraving. The ornamental part of the Dressing- Case is worked in chain-stitch ; the straight lines are green, and the curved pattern is lilac ; we give this in its full size. The whole is finished with the black ribbon sewn on in the middle of one side, to tie the case together.
TRIMMING.
BY MRS . JANE WEAVER.
THIS is a very new, and pretty style of petticoat trimming : the pattern being one of those Oriental ones now so fashionable. It consists of medallions and escallops of velvet appliqued

to a plain ground with herring-bone stitch in white silk ; the diamond- pattern edging the applique is of coarse, black purse silk, fastened with crosses of white silk.
PIN- CUSHION .
BY MRS . JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number, we give an engraving of a very pretty Pin-Cushion , which is to be made in applique and Cluny lace. Make the cushion any size you like. Cover it with bright-blue silk on both sides. Place the Cluny insertion across the cushion, as seen in the design : then out of black velvet cut the four trefoil pieces; place them as designed, sewing
them on with white embroidery silk in buttonhole stitch ; the little braiding pattern is done in white silk embroidery braid. For the border, use blue taffeta ribbon one inch in width, edged on both sides with a very narrow Cluny edging ; quill in box-quills, and put round the cushion. Imitation Cluny is quite good enough for this kind of work.
