industrial world, products of the
@ human hand are again to the
fore. Handicrafts are spring
- ing up on every side. Not in
competition with or antagonistic to the
machine, which has done so much to bring
utility and beauty into lives that
might otherwise have never known
either, but as a natural expression of in
dividuality, are handicrafts multiplying.
Periodicals devoted to hand made arts
threaten to become as formidable as trade
journals. 1t is the inevitable result of
two growing factors in American life.
Educated wealth is spreading, and with it
desire to possess exclusive objects of art
which bear the impress of individuality
and which can not be duplicated, as are
machine made things. Educated wealth is
learning to recognize and appreciate the
intrinsic value of human skill as mani
Tested in the various handicrafts.
Ready to meet this taste and demand
upon the part of educated wealth are men
and women of ideas who have learned to
think and to execute for themselves.
Breaking away from the employer and the
salary, they have set up their tools under
their own roof tree, and from designs Of
their own fashioning, out of clay, brass,
copper, wood, straw, rags, leather and
other mediums, they are making for util-
ity and beauty articles that bespeak the
thought that is within them.
In out of the way corners of large cities
are numbers of little handicraft shops
where a single worker creates and stamps
his or her hand made work, as did the
Benneventu Cellinis of the middle ages,
with their personal signature or trade
mark.

The street car conductor with a talent

dissatisfied passenger found one out in the

get to the geological show complained OF
the difficulty they had had in ~eliciting any

When Dion Boucicault was playing The
Vampire at the Princess theater in LOulon
he gave a great deal of attention to the
opening scene, which represented an Alpine
landscape with a distant thunderstorm. The
thunder was produced as usual, and some
remarkable fine moonlight effects were in

at its height a tremendous clap of thunder
startled the audience and interrupted Mr..
Boucicault in the middle of a speech. Low
