It is cut, as you will observe, in one piece. The
material is perforated card-board, either white or "silver." The
dotted lines show where to fold it.
A, A and B, B are lapped outside the end pieces, D, D, and held in
place by stitches of worsted, long below and very short above, where
the sides join. A little border is worked in worsted at top and bottom
before the sides are joined. The inside is stuffed with curled hair,
and topped with a little cover crocheted or knit in worsted--plain
ribbing or the tufted crochet, just as you prefer. A cord and a small
worsted tassel at either end complete it, and it is a convenient
little thing to hang or stand on mamma's or sister's toilet-table. It
will be an easy matter to enlarge the pattern, if this hair-pin holder
would be too small.

A CRIB-BLANKET FOR BABY.
The prettiest and simplest crib-blanket which we have seen of late,
was made of thick white flannel, a yard wide, and a yard and a quarter
long.
