adding the silk flowers where they occur--that is, over the 8th, 17th,
and 26th of the 33 t.c. in each section. The flowers are made in the
following mariner:--12 ch., close into a loop at the 7th, 6 ch., s.c.
under loop. 8 ch., s.c. under loop, 6 ch., slip at the stem, X 5 ch.,
s.c. under first loop of 6, X 5 times, * 5 ch., s.c. under the loop of
8, * 7 times, ** 5 ch., s.c. under loop of 6, ** 5 times; s.c. down
the chain, and continue the round.

The gold flowers are to be worked in the same way, and attached over
the centre of each 5 chain which form the corners of the hexagon. Work
a chain all round, catching up the points of the flowers at regular
intervals, and then work two rounds of s.c., with three stitches in
one at the points.

Do all the crochet work of these screens rather tightly. Sew on the
large gold flowers, passing the ends through the centre loop of the
screens, and form a little rosette of X 6 chains, s.c. in the round,
X repeated to close the middle.

TO MAKE UP THE SCREENS.--Cut out a hexagon, the exact size of the
crochet, in paper, and bend the wire into the same form. Be very
particular that the wire frame shall be true and even. Cover it on
both sides with white silk, over one side of which sew the crochet. It
will only require to be fastened round the edges. The fringe must then
be laid on, the handles attached, and the screen is completed.

If preferred, the back of the screen may be covered with silk of the
colour of the crochet, as more durable than white.
