TO WEAVE HAIR.

A writer IN the Household gives some
verv plain directions how to weave hair.
Take a smooth board one and half feet
long and six or eight inches wide. NeaS
one end drive three shingla nails in q row,
the nails being half an inch apart and the
row running parallel with the end Of the
board. At the other end, opposite the mid
die nail, drive one nail, wax three pieces OF;
linen thread, tie them together at one end,
and about a quarter Of an inoa from
the knot tie another; now slip over shsr u
nail that stands alone, then tie one to eschl
of the three nails, drawing the thread een-'
siderably tight. Take he board in your lapjt
with the three nails toward the right hand.
Next take a bunch of hair, both the ends
evened, the size Of q knitting needle, wet
that end and put it under the thread nearest
YOU, over the middle thread and under ths
last-theu bring it back on the left side, ree;-; p;
velsing tn. order. Now push it up rlossn'
against the knot. Proceed in this way until
the strip is of the required length. After
it is dry it can be pushed together more
closely. Twist is superior to linen for
durability. 0.. ',u%.ijA
