The New Punto Tagliato Embroidery. Part I. By Louisa A.

Tebbs. (Chapman and Hall. Gs, net.)—This revised and enlarged edition will be warmly welcomed by needlewomen. Miss Tebbe has the art of conveying knowledge, and we are sure that most of the women who road this book will instantly wish to set to work on this attractive embroidery. The diagrams aro clear and the designs are very pretty, but Miss Tobbs does not say whether full-sized patterns can be bought, for unless the worker can enlarge or design for herself, she will find it difficult to make a beginning. We would suggest that in the second part some full-sized working patterns should be included.
