A short article by needle lace artist Aurelia Loveman on the traditional lace 'modes' and 'jours', the small decorative fillings used to relieve large open areas in needle lace. It explains the ring, bar, and picot as basic elements and the seed, chain, and star arrangements for combining them, with line drawings of a chain of rings, rings on festoons, and picoted bars with chained rings. It closes with a quotation from Marian Powys on lace fillings, an author biography, and a bibliography of Carlier, Lovesey, and Powys.
