Dearly as james loves to stay at home of

length Of time rather than remain at home

while after we were married he heard some

saxophone lesson. Some sort Of a German
or Austrian or Swede or something teaches
him, and there is singing and yodling.
and that sort Of thing, James says, at his
teachers place after the regular teaching
business is over, and James stays along To
listen to these songs, merely to oblIge the
teacher.
He says that he can play beautifully On
the saSophone now, because he practises
a long time at the teachers, too, after ga IN
lesson. But, just to show yo how we'll
trained he is, n night at a musicale
recently one OF the guests had a saxophone,
and when / told him that James, too, va

play, but James declined, knowing that
Il would annoy me il he played. l caught
him winking at the other sayophone pla, er.
He winked TO intimate TO the man that he

Oh. my dear, you cam be thinking Of going

BY that time my wife liz ready to retire,
and /, not being able to sleep as many

Now, l could pay for a comfortable

il only for the surroundings.
These girls and women, Italian for the
most part, though twenty na~tionalities are
represented in the block in which the school
is located, con make, mend, alter and match
various laces, Irish crochet, Carrickmacross,
Limerick and several kinds of pillow laces;
and are now being instructed in Venetian
point.
1T has beer a surprise to me 10 see how
readily the girls have learned the lace work
and the interest and pleasure they take in
it," said Miss Lord. One OF the first who
came to US was a pitiful little h~unchback,
who came in preference to going to an
ostrich feather place, where the work would
o have wrecked such frail health as
she had.
I'VE almost hesitated about taking her.
But you should see her now. She is one
Of our best workers, neat. quick Inc with
real feeling for the lace as it grows under
her hands.
.'Her health is greatly improved, while her
Joy in her work and in her surroundings
here in the settlement is a pleasure to every
one who comes near her"
In old Greenwich Village, too, is the
Needlecraft School, where twenty girls
mostly Italians, are learning to do fine
embroidery in colored silks. This school
is not connected with any settlement, but
is maintained by private persons, with
an interest in training the girls TO fit them
for more profitable employment than the
inevitable factory offers.
The largest and most ambitious of the
lace making schools is the one at Richmond
House in Macdougal street. Although
in a se tlement building, il is not a part
OF it, and is maintained by An entirely
separate organization.
This school il closely allied with those
lately established in Italy for the revival
OF lace making among women and girls.
Signorina Mari, who assisted in organizing
them, is at the head of the one here. The
twenty-four girls in her classes are taught
