 Cliain of 4 and join. Into this circle make seven stitches in single crochet, two 
 stitches into each of those forming the circle. Into each of these seven stitches, 
 work two, one with and one without beads, having at completion of round, fourteen 
 stitches, eight with beads and eight plain. 
 
 Continue working in this manner, adding one bead in the stitch, widening the 
 Tprevious round, and adding a plain stitch to each section of star until there are 
 nine beads in each with a single plain stitch between each section, marking the 
 (division of the star. 
 
 r When there arc nine beads, so worked, the widest part of the star having beads 
 is reached. The following rounds are worked by omitting the last bead in each 
 section, substituting therefor a plain stitch and continuing to widen as before, by 
 the addition of a single plain stitch, being careful to have the widening at the 
 same as formerly, that is at the stitch just before the bead, so this line may be 
 preserved unbroken until there remains a single bead at each section, which will 
 mark the tip of the star. There will then be a perfectly flat circular mat. which 
 should be ?< inches in diameter. If at the conclusion of the star the mat is less than 
 three inches, increase it to the desired size by the addition of several rows of plain 
 crochet.

 work is nov

 and narrowing at each point which was previous^

 Continue to narrow in tliis manner for about seven rounds, when this part will 
 be found to double over upon the mat-like portion, and will present the appearance 
 of a miniature Tam O'Shanter cap, from which its name is taken. When the circle 
 is narrowed to the size of top selected, work two rows in a single crochet, which 
 should stand up like a band to which the top is to be attached.

 thread for free movement of two fingers, now under loop, bring back between thumb and fore

 right hand and under fourth finger, giving shuttle direction shown in Figure 1. 
 Pass shuttle between second and

 that the thread in right hand does not move while using left hand, as it is only that part of the

 A hard twisted, smooth, even cotton or artificial silk is absolutely necessary to produce fine, attractive work, 
 ilk. Linen finish No. 6, or Japsilk No. 20 are perfect threads for tatting and anyone 
 using them cannot be otherwise than delighted with the result. 
 Use J(^^a^€cCC£i/l/OU/^^n£^ shuttle. 
 
 ?m cannot be otherwise 
 
 J^^occca/l/ou/^^n£^ shut 
 
 To fill the shuttle, draw thread through hole in center of shuttle; tie; hold shuttle in left hand, with right wind 
 thread. 
 
 To begin, wind cotton over hand and hold with thumb and forefinger. The thread wound around the left hand 
 is forming the stitches; the shuttle in right hand must be held extended until the left hand has drawn up the knot. 
 
 Pass shuttle between first and third finger, from right to left. Hold cotton on left hand loose, the right hand 
 holding shuttle must be slightly extended. This forms the first part of the double stitch. 
 
 To form second part of the stitch, pass shuttle from left to right between first and third finger, through loop 
 over left hand. Extend the shuttle hand and with left hand form knot as before. This finishes the double stitch, the 
 only stitch in tatting. 
 
 The picot is part of the double stitch, and also helps to join the different parts of the pattern. The picots are 
 formed by leaving a loop on the extended thread, and a short length of thread between them after the first half of 
 stitch has been made, make the other half and draw up. The loops are formed by the thread over the left hand, the 
 shuttle thread of the right hand must be free to run through the stitches to draw up the ring.

 Home Needlework on Foot Power Weaving Loom 
 
 Designs illustrated below are made with 
 
 Perle No. 3 or Swiss Teidy cotton. 
 
 The rejuvenation of this old and simple art 
 of weaving couch covers, pillow tops, table run- 
 ners, window curtains, fancy bags and numer- 
 ous other articles for home decorations, is most 
 interesting. 
 
 In olden times the materials used on these 
 hand-weaving looms was wool in its various 
 sizes and forms; however, today the process 
 for finishing the long staple silky, sea-island 
 cottons inspires the art worker to use 
 
 mercerized cottons or artificial silks in obtain- 
 ing the most satisfactory results. 
 
 mercerized cotton twisted and finished in the 
 waterspun process obtains greater luster and 
 more silky, soft effects. These snowy flakes of 
 pure, long staple, sea-island cotton, waterspun 
 into 
 
 threads and flosses, of various sizes, increases 
 the opportunity for the home being made more 
 beautiful by the needle workers of the world. 
 
 The patterns illustrated on this page, to- 
 gether with many others, are made by the 
 women of the "Lockport Home Industry," under 
 the direct supervision of Edward F. Worst, 
 Lockport, 111. These patterns are arranged to 
 suit any article for which they are to be used.

 A. B. Collingbourne , Pres., 
 
 Collingbourne Silk Mills, 
 Elgin, 111. , U. S. A. 
 
 Dear Sir 
 
 I want you to send me sample of your new thread 
 
 You say Collingbourne Byssine, 200 yds. spool of silk 
 finished thread is stronger and smoother than anything else 
 for machine sewing because it is made on the new modern 
 American machinery. 
 
 You say it has more strength and length and luster 
 and will make sewing easier. You say it is a soft, silk 
 finish, for making a beautiful seam and costs no more than 
 the ordinary cotton thread. 
 
 All this quality combined with economy to me is a 
 real pleasure to learn, and I am willing to give your Byssine 
 a trial . 
 
 Enclosed is (f^ for which, send me spools in 
 
 following colors. 
 
 I will purchase my Byssine thread from my dealer, 
 after trying the sample. 
 
 Yours very sincerely, 
 
 F. S.--Soft silk finish, fine twisted thread, of 200 
 yards a spool at 5c is the only thread really suitable for 
 sewing wash fabrics, fine silks and dress goods.

 The Art Needle Worker Everywhere: 
 
 Colliiigbourne Mills are anxious to have every Ameriean wonian know the superior merits of 
 Collingbourne threads, flosses and yarns. 
 
 Few years ago mills were started at Elgin, 111., built around a free flowing spring of water of 
 mineral composition. 
 
 Our waterspun thread.s, flosses and yarns have become standardized all over the world for their 
 supremacy in luster, evenness of twist, fadeless white and fast color. 
 
 The policy of our business, which we have strictly adhered to has been QUALITY FIKST. We 
 have at all times used the best grades of raw materials and with our improved facilities for l)leaching 
 and dyeing and finishing threads and yarns, we have been able to produce the most perfect threads. 
 
 The labor consumed in needlework producfng the many novelties for beautifying the home, also 
 needlework in connection with wearing appar-I, re<juires a great deal of valuable time. In fact, the 
 time is of greater consequence than a small saving on the cost of cheap materials. 
 
 "We suggest that in purchasing your threads and yarns and materials, you do so intelligently, by 
 
 making a comparison of any oi J^^O;;^c^ou.^q^tn.i/2y?ze^ threads or flosses with those bearing any other 
 
 labels of foreign or domestic manufacture. 
 
 These threads and flosses being made in the United States on most modern machinery, by ex- 
 perienced operators of many years service in handling yarn and thread machinery, aft'ords the art 
 needle-workers of the world the opportunity of obtaining only perfect threads and flosses, when the 
 brand Collingbourne is specified and insisted umou. 
 
 Each article is inspected before leaving our mills and in each instance a piece of merchandise 
 
 bearing the J(^^^£ccca/UVtc/2y?ze^ label can be recognized as superior in many ways. 
 
 Suggestions for new articles, either in the style or design or thread, will be very gratefully ae- 
 cei)ted. We feel interested in the work accomplished by each individual art needle-worker and the 
 praise that our many lines have received, as evidenced in the congratulatory letters we receive, tends 
 to have our mill people render greater effort in the ])roduction of the world's most comjjlete line of art 
 needlework and family sewing threads. 
 
 Every American woman is interested in (he progress and prosperity of the American manufac- 
 turer. 
 
 The Woman's National Made In U. S. A League, 1329 E St., N. W., Washington, D. C, urges every 
 woman buying everything, whenever possible, made in the U. S. A. 
 
 The combined effort of the women of this country demanding merchandise labeled, "Made in 
 U. S. A.," develops practical patriotism and makes permanent the future of prosperity to be enjoyed 
 by all. 
 
 Eventually yours, 
 
 VIRGINIA SNOW, 
 
 Needlework Instructor,
