EMBROIDERY

AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN BOOK. By MARY E. WARING. With a Foreword by Professor W. R. Lethaby, Royal College of Art. In cloth gilt, 170 pp., 2 coloured plates, with 84 full-page black-and-white diagrams. 8s. 6d. net.

"Designing of this sort is no mystery that requires 'genius'; it is of the same kind as planting a garden border.... Most embroideresses, who will begin by adapting the elements given in this Pattern Book, and gain interest and confidence in so doing, will go forward insensibly to varying the elements themselves, and to taking flowers and animals direct from Nature. This ... is the work of a highly competent designer of embroidery, and I heartily recommend it."—W. R. Lethaby in the Foreword.

EMBROIDERY & DESIGN. By JOAN H. DREW. In foolscap 4to, cloth, about 115 pp., with 82 black-and-white illustrations and designs. 5s. net.

The writer endeavours to arouse in her readers a desire for better designs, and greater individuality and thought in the home embroidery of to-day. The difference between decorative and undecorative work is clearly explained with the aid of many illustrations, and these are of the right size for tracing and working.
