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.
