Laced-Edged Doilies.

In making a set of round doilips for gifts one woman made the discovery that by stitching narrow hems in the edges with a rather long machine stitch she could very easily crochet linen thread lace on the edges, catching a loop of the linen thread in each machine stitch. _ A simple wreath of scattered daisies and leaves was embroidered on each linen circle, then a two-inch edge of lace, resembling torchon, was crocheted about the edge of each. The, effect is wonderfully good. The. work is easily done, making a charming set for gifts.
