CHAINS MADE ON A LOOM.
After cutting threads, commence to tie all threads together at one end, fix this on the nail on the spool and then place each of the threads in rotation on the notches of bridge, carrying the threads to the opposite bridge. Then place the threads in same rotation on the second bridge; now draw the threads tight and with the remains of length tie on round the end of loom and fix in and around the pegs. This is called the warp. You now get your thread for threading the beads, and tie the end at the first or left-hand warp, thread the same number of beads in the way you want the first row made, and push them up between the warps, and repeat this again and again until the design is finished.
A BEAD LOOM.

Have you ever burnt your finger? If so, you know just what it is like, and you don’t want me to tell you how it feels! When you have once had a burn or a scald, you are very careful not to get another if you can help it, and you won’t want anyone else to burn themselves, I know.
Has Grandmamma a kettle holder? She certainly ought to have one, because it is really a nasty thing to pick up a hot kettle without a holder. You just want to drop it at once! Suppose you start right away to make a kettle holder. I mean a really pretty one, of course, that will be delightful to look at, as well as useful.
