during the months Of January ana
February that light sheet may be
required as covering.
These hammocks are usually made
by the mother of the family, writes
Lilly dec. Osborn, in st. Nicholas, and
consist Of thread, more or less fine,
woven together on great frames with
a kind of shuttle or needle. Some Of
the designs are wonderfully intricate
and the colors beautifully blended. I
saw one very large one, made in the
colors of the United States flag, which
was to be sent up to the United States
for a gift. 1t was certainly a work of
art, made of the very finest mercerized
thread; and yet the hammock could
easily support a weight of 300 pounds.
A servant always brings his or her
own hammock, which is very conven-
lent.
