The oyster industry has practically
passed from the hands of the fishermen in
to those of the oysterplanter Sixty per
cent of the annual supply is now derived
from planted beds.
Skirt dancing has spread into the girls
colleges. These higherto august lnstltu-
tions that have permitted only the squarest
of square dances are countenancing casta-
nets, breakdowns and fandangoes. AT the
gala day at Wellesley, the freshman class
OF girls, dressed as sailor lads, boarded
ferntrimmed craft and danced songs sung

If cloth can be made out of fine spun
glass it would seem simple matter to
make it out of wood. This is now done

crushing them between rolls, carding the
fllaments into parallel lines, as with ordi-
nary textile material. and spinning them
into threads, from which the cloth can be
woven in the usual way.
