 ^^"-tMJ N exper.cnce of Fifteen Years prior to tlic one just passed, has been amply 
 ->^^' sufficient to demonstrate to an always discriminating public — and especially to 
 its lady members -the reliability, regularity, uniformity, and general superiority of 
 our Lace Material, manufactured especially for us; as also our Linen Patterns 
 for working the same, and as Lace of all kinds during the last few years has been the 
 fashionable and favorite description of Trimming for most articles of Ladies' Dresses, 
 and as there is every indication from the centres of fashion that it will become more and 
 more popular during the present season, and for years to come, we shall keep con- 
 stantly on -hand a large assortment of Braids of pure linen and of the finest sheer. 
 Also, Braids in Black Silk, etc., as heretofore, for the accommodation of our lady patrons. 
 The facilities for manufacturino- the Patterns herein illustrated, have been immensely 
 increased, so that not only the shape of the pattern to be worked on is shewn, but in 
 most cases all the stitches are also shewn, so that the fair worker has merely to lay on 
 the braids and follow the design, and a beautiful Bib, Barb, Collar, Cuff, or Necklace, 
 etc., etc., is the result of her handiwork. We take much pride in announcing our- 
 selves in our connection with " The Young Ladies fournal," (the best of all fashion 
 magazines), the founders of Lace Making in this country, and although a very large 
 quantity of material is imported into the same, the art of lace making is yet in its 
 infancy, and it is our great aim to make it thoroughly known in every part of the 
 United States and in order to bring it within the reach of all, we have set our prices 
 down at the very lowest, for nett cash, which it is hoped will give entire satisfaction to 
 our numerous friends and patrons. The patterns shown in this Book are a few 
 selected from a greater variety on hand, but to publish which would fill a large volume 
 as each day new designs crop up ; but in the selection herein published we have 
 given the most stylish and easiest to be worked of our immense repertoire. 
 
 NEwYork, Feb'y, 1878. MME. GURNEY & CO. 
 
 1^" P. S. — The price of the Patterns having been considerably reduced in this Book of 
 Patterns, it is only applicable where the material is sold with the same. Patterns ordered 
 without the material, will be charged as marked in Price List.

 "Can you recommend a good book on CreWEL Work?" has been a frequent question 
 during several months past from our numerous correspondents. We therefore publish a little 
 work entitled " HOW TO WORK CREWEL," which our readers will find gives all the 
 necessary information. 
 
 Crewel Work is not at all difficult, and we cannot wonder at the favor it has already 
 found in the eyes of all ladies possessing artistic taste, because from the pliant character of the 
 stitches, almost everything that can be painted can be imitated — flowers, fruit, birds, animals, and 
 even landscapes — while the articles of dress, and furniture which may be ornamented by its means arc 
 very numerous. Added to these recommendations there are others, some of which are that it may 
 be worked at a ver>' small cost; that it washes exceedingly well that is, if care be taken to procure 
 Crewel of a good quality ; and as the washing materials which arc used for the foundations are of a 
 very durable make, we may say that a thing once done is done for a lifetime.
