This pattern was originally published in January 1890.

These are made of double Berlin wool, and should match the curtains and furniture, if old gold is used for trimming the curtains. Use the same shade of wool for the holders; a quarter of a pound will be required; use a very coarse bone crochet hook.
If several colours are present in the curtains, the same shades may be used for the holders—the mixed colours will impart a pretty marbled appearance.
