41st and 42nd: Two rows of squares.

Now work 3 d.c. into ever s.p.a.ce on three sides, but not on the side above the top of the letters, making 7 d.c. at each corner.

BORDER.--1st row: Begin at the side where the letter S is, 3 l. the first into 1st loop, 3 ch., 3 l. the 1st into 4th loop, repeat this till within 4 loops of the corner, then in the corner loop make 3 l., 3 ch., 3 more l. into same loop, now 3 ch., miss 3 loops, then 3 l.

the 1st into 4th loop, now repeat till the corner loop of next corner, then 3 ch., then 3 l. into the same loop in which the last of the 3 l.

was worked, now 3 ch., 3 l. the 1st into 4th loop, and repeat.

2nd: When at the end, turn back, work 3 l. on l., 3 ch., repeat; at the corner, after the last 3 l. and 3 ch., make 3 l. under the 3 ch.

at corner, 3 ch., 3 more l. under same, 3 ch. 3 l. on l., repeat.

3rd: Turn back and work the same.

4th: Turn back, d.c. on the 1st of the l. st.i.tches, * 5 ch., 3 d.c.

under the 3 ch, repeat from *.

5th: Turn back, 6 ch., 3 d.c. on the d.c., repeat.

6th: Turn back, 7 ch, 3 d.c. on d.c., repeat.

Now, along the top work a row of extra long st.i.tches, made by twisting the cotton twice over the hook instead of once, beginning on the d.c.

st.i.tches of the border, and working 5 l. st.i.tches across the width of the border at regular s.p.a.ces, then 1 l., 2 ch., 1 l. on every l.

across the squares, terminating with 5 l. in the width of the border.

Now 3 d.c. into every s.p.a.ce between the l. st.i.tches, then crochet the two pieces together on the right side of the work, or sewing will do as well. If the tidy should require washing, let it now be done, and pressed between a double linen cloth, under a heavy weight; when dry, line it with coloured cambric, omitting the border; double it in half, and run a small tuck at the bottom of the extra l. st.i.tches; in this tuck insert a narrow piece of whalebone, not quite so long as the work, and secure it at both ends; get a yard of satin ribbon, place a pin in the centre, and on one side of this pin sew on to the ribbon some pieces of old linen fringed about 3 inches in width, and 8 inches long, if this is doubled over the ribbon it will make each piece 4 inches long; sew then on the other side of the pin some soft chamois leather the same width and length, now place it in the centre of the tidy, draw the ribbon over, and tie it in a bow at the back. This should be laid on the toilet table, and not hung up; it will have the appearance of a book.
