 BRACKET.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THE Bracket in the January number requiring more time than some would have, we give one of not so much work. A quarter of a yard of the heavy ribbed goods used in upholstery ; three yards of heavy silk cord to match; three yards of heavy gilt cord ; three yards of smaller, and five gilt tassels, are the materials necessary. The small gilt cord is for winding the silk cord which is to trim the points of the bracket and planks around the top. The heavy gilt cord is put on as in pattern in place of a moulding, which cannot be obtained in small places.
