to the solvency or insolvency of the

fall prey to litigation. The effort

NEW WORK FOR WOMEN,

An English woman, a Mrs. Bayley,
mas discovered new industry for wo.
men, or rather an old one revised, in
weaving artistic patterned silk fabrics
bY hand. Power looms, she says, are
unable to produce these fabrics of the
high artistic merit of which the hand
loom is possible.
For rich silks Mrs. Bayley asserts
that the hand weaving is cheaper
and even quicker mode OF weaving
than power loom work, aud that since
country firms over England cannot
obtain the requisite number OF hands
to produce the work that is ordered in
consequence of the revived demand
for costly silks, she says that hand
loom weaving can be carried on with
profit in ladies' own homes.
From four to five dollars a week
can easily be earned by any
woman in this work, Mrs. Bay
Icy says, and that is in England.
The same work can be productive
of better returns in this country,
The suggestions not made merely for
working girls. Mrs. Bayley believes
that there is paying field in the pro.
duction Of high art silken fabrics that
is worthy the attention of cultivated
women Of small means, who would
find the work not only lucrative, but
attractive.
