CARVING IN WOOD,
A New Fad which Brings Plenty OF Doll

Wood -carving is the newest fom.
ininc fad, Brass-hammcring is going
out, wood-carving is coming in. In-
stead of punching plaques women arc
cutting wood panels. Tho passion
for carved hall aud dining-room fur
nituro, and for wood ovcr-mantels has
something 10 do with starting tho
craze. The tools are easily handled,
also. and require little muscular
strength, only q uick eye, an artistic
feeling and steady hand. 1t is tho
proper thing to design and carve tho
two halves of the bellows for tho open
fret put n naked child on them, say,
blowing the red Goals in cave of tho
winds; or 10 cut ornaments for tho
great oak ches. that mod@val mod
erns are reviving 10 hold their ward
robes. There are several classes in
wood-carvlng, AMI many ladies arc
taking private lessons. There is n
niece of Charles Sumner who b,oamo
quite an expert. but she has rooms in
hotel and has given up hor work be-
cause tho noise of it disturbed
her neighbors. A sistcr-in-aw OF
Horace Greeley. n woman of seventy.
is one of tho enthusiasts. talking it mp
as Cato did Greek in hor old age Her
favorito piece of work is carved sell
tie for her hall. and she takes great
pride in it. Smaller pieces of work
are the rule, panels and tiles for tho
side of the mantel and the like, but
carved desks, sidcboartls and dccoru--
tive pieces are not beyond The ambis
ton of the more aspiring. One Of the
successful wood-carvers aud designers
of the city has it in mind. if possible.
10 found school for instruction in
wood-carving, for tho teaching Of
young women especially, for whom no
believes there is an outlook for paying
work in this line. One of his pupils,
indeed, girl of perseverance and
talent, supported herself comfortably
that winter by taking pupils herself.
and has developed so much originality
and independent skill that she has OBJ
tanned good commission for carvings
aud interior decorative woodwork for
n number of residences to bo built by
rich NV Workers Mt LenoX. II tho
taste for wood-carving continues to in

which women who 60 into it for somo-
