JET TRIMMINGS

OF CORD

AND

BEADS.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THESE trimmings being still very fashionable, we give above a new and pretty design for one; and in the front of the number, on opposite pages, two other designs : all remarkable for the beauty and simplicity of their

manufacture. Any lady with a piece of black silk cord, and some beads and bugles, can readily follow these designs, and make a pretty trimming for her dresses at very little expense comparatively.

INFANT'S BOOT. BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. In the front of the number we give three engravings (all on the same page) representing an infant's boot ; the half of the boot, full size ; and the sole, full size. This little boot may be made of cloth, felt, or velvet, and simply bound

and stitched round, or braided. A little cord with tassels fastens it in front, and a little quilling of pinked silk may be put round the top of the boot. When completed, it is as pretty as it is economical.
