FAMOUS TAPESTRIES

The repair of the famous Hardwicke
tapestries by the women workers OF the
Democratic, Needlework society in London
is a remarkable example ow- What can be
achieved by .'.t1le needles excellence"
even in these days of the needles degen-
eracy. These Hardwick tapestries are I'M
doubtedly English, and date from the mid
die Of the fifteenth century. When COM
mitted by the Duke Of Devonshire into the
hands of the Decorative Needlework So
ciety. they were literally things Of shreds,
not even Of patches, hanging in the strips
into which Bess of TIardwicke had them
cut. when, by her orders, they were ruth
lessly torn down from the walls Of old
FIardwicke hall and hung S(portions Of
them upside DOWN $son the walls Of her
new mansion so as to make It habitable.
Little wonder that three hundred years Of
neglect, following on this initial maltreat-
ment. reduced the magnificent -hangings to
mass Of rags, in which the design was
| in MANY places scarcely discernible. They
portray a series of hunting scenes, with
their extraordinarily. lifelilSe representa-
lions of knights and = squires;- country
DANES retainers and serfs, the rank Of the
, various persons denoted, according to the
quaint fashion in the tapestries of the
/ time by the relative size Of the figures
The dress Of the period, the wonderful
colts Of the ladies secured by daggerlike
| pins to their towering frames, the equally
curious f1eaddresses Of the men, half hat
/ half turl5an: the flowing robes, some OF
them interviewer with ciphers and heraldic
designs, are all faithfully rendered.

The furnace in the winter and the grass
in the summer give work and a good liv
ing to many man, One man to eight or
ten houses is. the rule and the system is
a new means of gaining q livelihood.
The man who, works UP a. route guards
it carefully, and if he attends to his work
he seldom loses a patron, for the CO.
operative fireman and gardener is an
economy to the householder. For 81 a
week from each house the man keeps up
the furnace, day and night A visit or
two in the day is sufficient to maintain
a good fire, and about 10 o'clock the man
banks the fire for the night But on cold
nights there is trouble, and his lantern
may be seen from cellar door, to cellar
door, heaping- coal into the furnaces. In
the morning. he helps the cook by building
a fire in, the kitchen range and having the
water boiling by the time she is up. On
wash days he has all the clothes lines
strung and everything ready in the laun
dry for the Washerwoman's arrival.
In summer his work is 1ightened the
lawn taking the place of the furnace. Gut
ting and watering grass is not so wear
ing: as walking from house to house on
cold nights, to throw coal into furna ces.
The year around these men are paid about
81 week by.each patron. and in some In
stances the fee IS 81 a week It is fair
return for the work and every householder
| on a route. seems to find the co-opera-
| tive chores man an institution worth en-
