from p. 457 Godey's 1858
We have thought it desirable to give two pretty ornaments for the hair, which any lady can make with the most trifling trouble and expense, and which we think will be generally acceptable.
Two sizes of pearl beads are necessary, some small and delicate, with a few of larger dimensions. The first are to be strung on bead wire, introducing a large one in the centre of each bow, and simply twisting the ends of the wire together, so as to make it secure. Five of these being thus prepared are to be put together, and being well secured are to be fastened on a blow of black velvet, which is in its turn to be attached to a good hair-pin. The centre is formed with a bead of the larger size.
These ornaments for the hair are worn over the forehead a little towards the left, and three behind. They are very elegant, the pearl beads contrasting so extremely well with the velvet.
