as welfare stringing and weaving
beads with an enthusiasm which
makes the ardor shown in the bead
stringing days of twenty-five years ago
seem weak and commonplace in COM
parison.
You don't string beads to-day ex-
actly as you did under grandmother's
tutelage a generation ago. Those
notices like "Touch Not, Taste Not"
and Home, Sweet Home" which you
used to contrive out of beads under
her eye are not longer in fashion, and,
moreover, would be considered too
easy by the young folk of this age.
Weaving beads into Indian designs
belts and moccasins and wampum
bags-is the thing now. The adher-
ence to native American art ideals in
preference to all foreign types of the
new craze.
All the city kindergarten schools
now have classes in bead weaving
Each class had quantity of models,
which are procured in the downtown
stores. There are belts brought direct
from the Winnebago country, logging
strings from the Sioux reservations,
| headdresses from the Zunis, and
square braided ropes from the Mo-
| javes, in some of the schools Navajo
blankets have been hung up as models
and their scheme of decoration accur-
ately copied by the young folk.
The children are taught to weave
on little bead looms which look like
portable book racks, with a row Of
teeth on the top of each flange. Threads
are stretched from one row Of teeth
to the other to constitute the warp of
the piece to be woven. Then the
beads are strung half dozen or a
score at time on thread, and finally
sewed into the warp row at time.

middle-aged man whose face betrayed

said:

her feet

you--not even sand or ashes. You

Much madam. In the first place, be
resigned t a fall; in the next, prepare
to fall as lightly as possible; thirdly
stop your talking" interrupted the
woman as one of her feet got away
from her.
