41st and 42nd: Two rows of squares.
Now work 3 d.c. into ever space 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. stitches, * 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 stitches, made by twisting
the cotton twice over the hook instead of once, beginning on the d.c.
stitches of the border, and working 5 l. stitches across the width of
the border at regular spaces, 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 space between the l. stitches, 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 colored cambric, omitting the border; double it in half,
and run a small tuck at the bottom of the extra l. stitches; 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.
