Oint de fillet, plain Raleigh bars, point d'Alencon, rosettes, rings and
point de Grecque. The central figure conveys a hint of the outlines of
the royal crown, and the lace is really sumptuous in design and texture.
In 1883, Mrs. Grace McCormick, the originator of the design and lace was
awarded a diploma for her work which was forwarded from Washington,
where she applied for a patent for her specimens of Royal Battenburg
lace, of which this is one. [Illustration: No. 49.--Royal Battenburg

similarly arrange her braid for any purpose she desires. Fine Raleigh
bars form the connecting work, and a button-hole picot-finish is made
along the edge of the braid which forms the border. In making an edging,
a definite outline could be kept for the lower edge, and above this an
irregular or indefinite outline arranged. [Illustration: No. 50.--Roman

specimen of this kind of work. The border design is the same as the one
previously described for a pillow-sham, except that but one row of the
blossoms and foliage is used. The center is composed of rows of braid
crossed to form squares or open spaces that are filled in with rosettes
