The beauty e work depends upon the evenness » gathering. n by laying a tape measure in a straight line across the material to be { smocked, and make a dot at every quars ter of an inch. This will make a long dotted line. Now move the tape meas- ure half an inch lower, and begin mak- ing another dotted: line just as you made the first one. Make still another dotted line one-half inch below this last one--and sq on until you have as many lines as you think the yolk of the little dress requires. Next, begin passing a needle and coarse basting thread from right to left of the material, pushing it in at one dot and out between the dots. Or, if the material is very sheer, the needle may go mn at one dot and out at an- other, When all the rows of dots have been used up in this way, begin to pull up the threads (which until now have al- lowed the material to lie flat on the table). Pull them up carefully and not too tightly, adjusting the gathers even. ly as you go. Fasten the ends of the is ready to be smocked.

It is sim ilar to the outline stitch in embroidery. {Thread your needle with silk (or with {any colored cotton) and tie a knot at {the end. Beginning at the upper left- {hand corner, pass the needle from the {under side outward at the side of the first pleat; insert it from right to left on this pleat, keeping the silk abave {the needle, and, draw the thread out to {its full léngth. Now take up the next {pleat in exactly the same way--and so fom, always bringing the needle out be- low the stitch. If the gathering threads are straight, you can follow them as jyou smock--and thus keep the smock- ling in a straight line.. { The Rope Stitch is the next easiest, {and is much prettier than the simple {outline stitch. It is made just like the {outline stitch except that the thread is | above the needle on one pleat and below | the needle on the next pleat. The Diamond Stitch is still more ef- fective. To make this, you must take three outlife stitches (each on a separ- ate pleat, of course) ; but instead of tak- ing the stitches in a straight line as in the simple outline stitch, yousmust take them in a slanting line upward, That is, the first of the three stitches is taken on the basting line, the next one a little above it, and the third one still further above it. Now take three more outline stitches, but this time coming down in a slanting line, so that the last one will be on the basting line again.
