lors look well on the pure white linen or the cream-white Florence Silk Mosaic, giving preference to mediumand light shades. Black Mosaic is very effective with em-broidery of white, gold, blue, scarlet or lavender. Using acolor to match the ground always produces a good effect,and if two colors are well selected and properly blended inthe embroidery they may be used together to good advantage. For the benefit of those persons who live remote fromtrade centres and others the publishers (Nonotuck SilkCompany, Florence, Mass.) have prepared a small but com-plete descriptive color-card (Fig. 53), which shows morethan two hundred colors, as made in Corticelli Wash Silk,in a variety of sizes and kinds. Besides showing this greatassortment of colors, small samples are attached to eachcard to illustrate the difference in size and twist in theseembroidery silks. They will mail to any address one ofthese color-cards for twelve cents. j (Fig- C)^.fourths Fig 4.) — M pestry neewing silk. mm !/
