coloured silks, also in herring-bone stitch, only rather larger, to fill
up the stripe. Cut a piece of ticken round, and of about 2-1/2 inches in
diameter; work it in the same manner, and mount it on a circular piece
of card; full the headpiece round the small crown, line it with some
bright-coloured Persian, and trim it with a gilt band, and gilt tassel
to match.

This cap is so simple a work, that it hardly allows any one to suppose
it will look as pretty as it certainly does.
