SPINNING WHEELS AND HARPs.

Relics of Byg0ne Years Are Absolute.
IL Necessary to the UD-to-
Date Woman.
To be in the height of fashion the young
woman of to-day must have a spinning
wheel and know how to make at least a
pretense Of knowing how to use 1t. Per-
haps the many masculine protests which
have been made lately against the new
woman, her mannish dress and manners
and her aggressiveness have had some
weight. and the dear girls have leagued
for the clinging helplessness Of their grand
mothers-this wonderful femininity which
is being dinned into their ears constantly
and the absence Of which men urge now
adays as an excuse for not getting mar
ried.
/ The New York Herald tells Of an antique
furniture dealer out on Long Island to
whose collection all the swells of Hemp

sets flock when in search Of a real, bona

nally came from the mother country and
had for years adorned the homes of some
Of our real blueblooded ancestors, and in
some Of the dozens of rooms. In the quaint
old-fashioned dwelling in which this man
has his collection stored, they are sure to
find just what they want.
For years and years he has been gather
ing spinning wheels. Every time he heard
Of one for sale, no matter how great the
distance, he would start off after it. and
return in triumph with his new addition to
his collection.
When asked once why he bought SO
many Of these apparently useless and obso-
lete articles. he replied:
There will come a day, when to. own a
spinning wheel will be the fad of the hour.
These wheels are expensive and cannot. for
that reason, become a popular fad. They
will, from their very price. be restricted to
the Weather class. and when once that set
takes up the fad of having spinning wheels,

CARVING IN LEATHER.
Brand New Art. which Any One With
Artistic Hand Can Follow
With Pleasure.

From the New York Times
Another brand new art has come to
light-carving in leather. 1t Is an art so
new that New York has not recognized It
yet, and even the studio specialists, who
are always looking about for something
unique, have not discovered 1t to any
marked degree. There are some shops where
the product Is sold, but 1t is so little known
that no very great favor has yet attached
itself to the really charming designs and
useful articles that come in this form or
workmanship.

There were buds and thorns, and the trail

belt. and was enlarged and doubled In the
pocketbook which hung from a strap at
the waist line. "Cinch' buckles were used
with this to grit 1t up.

THE EASTER GIFT.
The Potted Plant Is Most Appropriate,

but There Are Many Things
to Choose From.
The real Easter gift that can not come
amiss is the potted plant, says an ex-
change. There is no human being who
does not feel the brighter and the better
for the presence of a fresh, living plant
about them. Think Of your friends in Of

single man could be found who would re-

tensive inundation.

p%erishable coinage to fill our rooms with
growing, living green, and fill our leisure
to force these plants to which we are in
most cases strangers.
There is another rule for the selection
of the Easter gift. Look over your own
treasures, things that have been given to
you and that you value twofold. and then
go buy one such trinket or luxury for your
friend.
There are thousands of us who long for
little nicknacks, who nevertheless never
buy such a thing for our personal use. Lace
pins, pretty studs, cuff buttons, even long
shanked color buttons. a chain for the
watch or lorsnettes. a chatelaine card case,
charm. seal ring, umbrella, cane. We all
need these things, and feeling the shoe
