Tlie laciim <iii the 1 1 l)ar is also doiilile or tiiph', liiit the hist part, 



which is woiiiid roiiiiil the otliers. is knotted into each hok as on the 

 rim. The hicin-soii Ilie lini of the heel space arc knotted witli a sin-le 

 kno't round each end of th.' extra bar. 



In describing the nettings it will always be nndersto<,d thatthe ni>per 

 surface of the shoe is toward the workman, with the point upward, if 

 d.-scribing the heel nettings, and vic'c versa for tin' toe. To begin with 

 the heel netting, which is the simpler: This is in two parts, one 

 from the hi'clbai- to the extra bar (heel netting proper) and one from 

 the latter to tlic point (point netting). The netting is invariably 

 fastened to the lacing by passing the end through the becket from 

 alioM' and liringing it back over itself. In making the point netting 

 the end of the babiciie is knotted nmnd the bar at the right-hand 

 lower corner with a single knot. The other end goes up to the lacing 

 at the point and comes down to the left hand h)wer corner, where it i.s 

 hitched lonnd the bar, as in Fig. 351, 

 then goes up to the lowest becket on 

 the left side, crosses to the corre- 

 sponding one on the right, and comes 

 d(n^Ti and is hitched as before roitnd 

 the bar inside of the .starting i)oint.

the outside of the s|iace, two running obliquely from right to left, a 



|,,i,o ,,i, the right side and a short on i the left side; two similar 



.strands from left to right, the long one on the left and the short one 

 on the right, and one transverse strand at the base of the triangle 

 (see diagram. Fig. .'i.j^u). The next round goes up to the first becket at 

 the to]) on the h'ft hand, crosses to the corresixmding one on the 

 riulit. and then makes tlie same strands as the first nmnd, running 

 parallel totliiMn and about half an inch nearer the center of the space 

 (M-r diagram, Fig. :!."(l'/;). Kach successive round follows the la.st, com- 

 ing each time alxmt .\ inch n.'arer the center, till the space is all fHled 

 in. which brings the end of the last round to the middle of the bar, 

 round which it is knotted with a single knot. This makes three sets 

 of strands, two obli(|uely longitudiiml, one set from right to left and 

 oni> from left to right, and one transverse, all of each .set parallel and 

 eipiidistant. or nearl.\ so, and each interwoven alternately over and 



The right slioe has fourteen longitudinal strands in each set and 

 thirteen transverse: the left, one less in each .set. On the left shoe the 

 end is cairieil up from the last knot to the lacing at the point, and then 

 c(.mes back to the bar. fa.stenin- the other part to the netting with six 

 ei|uidistant half-hitches. The heel netting proper is ])ut on in a slightly
