neatly as possible. Now fill this cylin-
der with curlcd hair and let it come
out beyond tho ends about two inches
in round mass.
You will need ribbon for covering
these ends of some pretty tint that will
combine we'll with the shade Of velvet
that you use. The ribbon must be 8
inches wide and 10 inches long Cut
two pieces of this length, sew the ends
of each together and gather one side of
each piece of ribbon and slip it over the
curled hair at each end, drawing up
the gathering string to fit snugly over
the velvet cylinder and sew it with fine
stitches. Then gather tho other side of
the ribbon and draw it up so that the
gathers will all meet in the center. A
bow of ribbon with ends may be placed
here to cover up the stitches or cord
and tassels made from the worsted. An
other cord and tassels is used to hang
1t by, or ribbon should be used for this
purpose if it is used at the sides.
The cord is made by taking several
strands of worsted, little more than
twice as long as you will require it,
and with the aid of another person twist
it. each twisting in opposite direction
from the other. It should be doubled
over when it begins to kink by placing
the two ends together and running the
hand up and down tho cord quickly.
The tassels can be made from worsted,
wound over q card inches long. When
1t is large enough, slip from the card
and tie with q piece of worsted to form
the head and cut the other end to form
the tassel
