Cover the card-board with white material (Fig. 575), and sew together as in Fig. 576. Fig. 577 shows a simple and modified form of sandal. Cut the side and back pieces from the white material like Fig. 578, and sew them to the soles as in the Fig.
Fig. 577. 577. Also sew white tape to the points of toe and heel pieces, as shown in the diagram, leaving free the two ends at the ankle for tying.

Mop-rope, the loosely twisted rope used for floor-mops, is the material from which to fashion imitation
Marble Locks.
Make a tightly fitting white cap to entirely cover the hair, as a foundation for the wig.
In order to have the parting of the hair directly in the middle of the head, put the cap on and, with a lead-pencil, mark the desired line. The rope must be then untwined and the middle of each strand laid across the top and stitched down along the pencil line, half the length falling on one side, half on the other. After this the wig can be donned, the hair arranged and pinned in place according to taste or the fashion selected, and then stitched securely to the cap.
When the hair is done up high and a side or back view is shown, it is necessary to sew the ends of the rope along the bottom edge of the cap at the sides and back, as the locks are drawn up from there. A narrow border of raw cotton sewed entirely around the edge of the cap so that it will extend a trifle over the forehead and neck, does away with the dark edge of hair which it is, otherwise, almost impossible to hide. When only a front view is desired, the back of the cap need not be covered with the rope. Men’s and children’s wigs are made on the same principle, be their hair long or short.
