under the needle. When the needle is drawn through the loop thus made it ties a hard knot. Commence with the 2d p of any outer r, working into each p, and leaving silk enough between the p's to make a slight outward curve. After the last p of the r, simply slip the needle through the 2 short p's below, the silk crosses itself, tie into 1st p of next r, back into curved thread between the last 2 p's of previous ring, and then back into 2d p of 3d r, 3d p, and so on. Continue in this way around the wheel, which will now lie flat and show its beauty.

Make 46 wheels.

From some dark, stiff stuff, as cambric or silk, cut a pattern, which need not be too exact, of a pointed dress front, hollowing out the neck to fit. Pin one wheel in the pointed end. Above it, not quite touching it, pin two with two outside rings adjoining each other but not quite touching. Pin three in 3d row, placing middle one in straight line above the first one in the point.
