There seems to be no end to the purpose: r which netting may be used, whether as curtains, like those at the beginning of the nineteenth century, or as tuckers which look like an old-fashioned hamtril!. ing requires two qualities—m ry of the of which, once acquired, has no variations, and judgment of the area, which is more difficult, because of its knack of collapsing. To judge the area, the netting mus: be spread out and pinned down, so that it falls into squares, not diamonds, like those of a tennis net. In making a hair net space can thus be calculated, and netting has the advantage that bits of it can be cut away anywhere, without any possibility of unravelling. To keep the area in its place, as in the case of a tittle bolero, the edges often have to be stiffened—in the case of chenille, Chenille has caterpillar and curls and twists, and scarves of it should have their ends threaded with horsehair or other stiffening. Thus treated, it has an light appearance, like that of a veil. The coats of netting are rather like the veils put on hats. They dissimulate to the advantage of the wearer, but do not conceal Once the netting knot has been learned there is no reason why anything should not be netted. be measured exactly and the area wented calculated with equal exactiinde from it. It should be remembered that the pull on the net makes it fall into diamonds, and that if squares are wanted the netiing has to be done on the bias, as in the case of a knitted scarf with a slant to it.
