The WOnanly Art,

Sewing is most womanly art. A
woman Is never more feminine than
when she has needle and thread in her
hand. 1t Is the right Of every little girl
to be taught to sew neatly. even IL It
costs the mother some self-sacrifce.
Very few women are wholly exempt
from the needle. On the contrary. almost
every woman must take more or less
care of her own wardrobe. even II she
has no family responsibility. Machines
cannot sew up rips in gloves, re-
place buttons or mend. Some stitches
must be taken. and how to sew
neatly is an Accomplishment quite
as necessary, II not more SO.
to the happiness Of a majority of women
than any other. If a little girl be taught
early how to use her needle sewing will
soon become a sort of second nature to
her.
