I The brnnettc looks well in deeper and richer colours. The choice of shades depends greatly on the “complexion, as the colour may suit the hair 'but not the skin. ^ White is very becoming to fresh and rosy skins, but should be avoided by those with pale sand sallow complexions. Black is not becoming to pale and sallow com- plexions. unless combined with lace and a colour in the trimming. It looks well on fair people with a little colour in the face. I Requisites.

Place the needle in the material and hold it lightly, close to the point, with the right thumb and forefinger. The thimble should propel the needle. The left hand holds taut the material, which is pushed on the needle by the left thumb and forefinger. As the needle fills with material, push it ofT from the eye end. The needle is not drawn through until the whole length is gathered. For long lengths, thread the needle from the reel of cotton or silk, which will prevent it knotting [3]. It is a rapid way of nui- ning, and is used for all branches of millinery that require gathering, such as tuckings, casings for silk hats and bonnets, tuck running in chiffon, tulle, etc.
