Home Weaving.
Among the arte Of manufacture, that
OF weaving is one Of the most indispen-
sable. and covers the widest range Of
usefulness. Formerly this was a do
mestis industry, and there are still cer-
tain art qualities inherent in domestic
weaving, which are impossible to ma
chine manufactures.
There are industries OF production or
manufacture. either indigenous or pecu-
liarly adapted to every section Of the
country, and there are women's clubs,
with art committees also, in every sec
tion. Whatever is the traditional or
dominant industry, from silk raising to
rag-carpet weaving, it can be made
either beautiful or profitable and popu-
lar by the knowledge Of these selected
women.

Arts and Crafts Of the Indian.
The decorative arts practised by the
American Indians when we came
among them. far from being fostered
and developed by our presence, have
greatly suffered. and in some cases have
become extinct. Contempt for native
production was implied when we ig-
nored them, generation after generation,
until the Indians themselves turned
from the beautiful handicrafts OF their
ancestors. Today the young people Of
q tribe are rarely skilled in basket max
ing. the traditions OF this ancient art
being kept alive chiefly by the industry
OF the old squaws. Some Of the arts and
crafts Of the Indians are hopelessly lost,
othere are perilously near extinction,
but may be preserved by prompt and
judicious aid. The government is ex-
tending helpful hand through the In
dian commission. Bssketry is to be re-
vived in the Indian homes and regular
ly taught on the reservations in the
government schools. This will furnish
the Indian With natural and congenial
source Of self-support, thereby preserv.

Bookbindins.
A letter from Miss Starr Of Hull
House. Chicago. contributes to our re-
port the following lines, which have i'm
portant suggestions for those whose aim
is to do the best work in bookbinding:
"There is some danger Of the old and
dignified craft of bookbinding becoming
q modern fad Because it is not one
Of the great arts, acknowledged to re-
quire years OF patient effort, it is assum-
ed to be something which can be learned
in few months. The truth lie that q
year Of constant work is the least time
sufficient to master the craft, and there
are but few competent teachers who are
willing to take women as pupils. Mr..
obden-Sanderson CT London takes
few pupils, and one il indeed highly for
tunate to be received by him. Several
Of his pupils will doubtless be ready and
competent to take pupils in the near
future, probably in New York or Chi
cago.
women are received by some French
binders, but under disadvantages. 1t is
possible, however, to get instruction in
Paris. In tooling, the French technique
is acknowledged to be the best"
In the revival Of the artist-artisan's
work, with which the new century has
come in, no art craft shows it's influence
more than that Of hand book-binding.
Two years ago Mr.. Cobden-Sanderson,
one Of the greatest binders Of the pres
ent day. said: "Women should do the
best work in this craft, for they possess
all the essential qualities Of success
patience for detail, lightness Of touch,
and dexterous fingers" Women today
are proving that he is right. There are
at present in America small number
of women who are producing work
which compares favorably with that Of
the best binders.
Two binderies, east and west, are al
ready established where women may
work at all the processes Of this exact
ing craft. and where they may learn to
bind book with perfection Of detail
which can not fail to produce satisfy
ing result.
Other successful workers are returning
from their studies abroad, and soon
hand bookbinding, which offers so large
a field to women for skilled labor. will
have it's trained teachers and workshops
in every city in our country.
