Written for The Evening Star
The aborigines are the inspiration of
much of the household art as practiced at
present by the womenfolk of this country.
Beadwork and basketwork are two indus
tries which have waxed popular of late
years and have furnished pleasurabIe en-
ployment for many hours.
The shops now are prepared to sell every
possible material and implement to further
the pursuit of either branch of Indian craft
and many pretty specimens are shown in
homes which have been made by the ladies
of the family.
Of course, no end of trash and undesira-
BILE examples have been accomplished by
jealous but inartistic or clumsy workers
but that is the case in any line of decora-
tive art, and the art itself is unfairly
judged by such opponents.
Pretty as Well as Useful.
Many pretty and useful articles have re-
suited from intelligent skiliful application
of the knowledge of these arts, and the
fascination increases as practice makes per-
feet, and definite progress in workmanship
Is attained.
Tawdry arrangements tend. to decrease
the popularity of both lines of work and
the cheapness of materials tempts unskilled
and tasteless persons to perpetrate some
hideous combinations in each.
There is something interesting about the
idea of little hand loom that appeals to
many women, and is probably the secret of
the attraction bead work has as practiced
by present-day methods.
The crochet or netted work with beads Is
still done more or less, but that Is more
laborious, and the looms are what has prob
ably given the impetus to the rage for belts
chains and similar articles which can be
made upon them.
The old-fashioned industries are steadily
increased acquisition of country homes
many such may be practiced for the beauti-
fication of them.
Handmade Rugs.
There is great fad at present for hand
made rugs, and then. too. the hand loom
children are taught to use them, weaving
a strip some nine inches wide. and 1 have
seen small looms for ladies' use adver-
tised from time to time.
Many people who have neither time nor
inclination to do such work themselves like
the hand-woven rugs and give orders for
such, with the colors arranged according to
some chosen scheme, or suit themselves In
the ready woven specimens found in some
of the large shops
In country neighborhoods there are usu-
ally some old women to be found who are
skilled in one form or another of the home

city people are giving them employment for

PARIS, February 13 1904
It's a great wonder the Parisienne during
the Lenten season does not die from in
digestion. All other forms of entertaining

sequences, seems to run to restaurant din

pretty woman the other day in rather apol-

tive ''frown plasters:" hence the immovabie
aspect one is apt to see on the faces or
society women Even Carlyle with his in
exhaustible supply Of abusive English,
would have failed to adequately describe
the absurdities of the cult of which these
silly women are the victims. From hus-
bands point of view, a package of '1rown
plasters' may have very useful and sticky
advantages. When Helen or Marjorie be-
comes too expressive over the necessity of
a new Paris hat it will be a splendid OPP
portunity for the imposed on better half
to regretfufly explain that though funds
are rather low for chapeaux, he will be de-
lighted to present her with greater beau
tifier-a box of "frown plasters."
Another fad of the moment is the wearing
of monocles by dainty femininity, who af-
feet the little glass hitherto sacred to the
sterner sex. But they wear their rueful bit
of looking glass with a difference-that is,
it is very small and hanks from the thin

jewels. Another jewel fad essentially
Partisan is what in the sporting world
would be called a cross team pair of ear
rings. one ear displaying an exquisite VIII te
pc ri screwed tightly into the lobe and the
other pretty pink receiver adorned with a
black specimen of the pearl family. The
effect is startling, but is considered quite
fetching.
Leaders in Design.
Modes are in that delightful state when
to be fashionable 1t Is only necessary to
choose something really pretty and becom-

and materials, this ought not to be
difficult task. Ono of the exclusive shops

The circumference of the upper arm
should be thirteen inches, the wrists SIX

eight inches. The weight of this IDEAL
