Now that there is a craze for hand
weaving, the few hand weavers in the
country are having a tussle with all

to have carried out. An old Scotch
weaver, who learned his trade In the
old country, shook his head at a bundle

The Bows Room.

It is mistake to think that any;
sort of room will do for the boy Of the
family, and that the average boy does
not care for pretty things. Boys as
well as girls like pretty things, and
while they will not care for ribbons,
muslin or lace, there arc other things
which will make room look equally
attractive. and will appeal to lad IS
fancy. Nothing could be more artis-
tic than the way in which most Of
the rooms in the large preparatory
schools sare fitted up by their occu-
pants, showing that the average boy
has TASTE.
Boys do not care for frail things
that will break at the first touch. rugs
| that they will tumble over and
draperies that entangle them; but this
| is no reason why they should not have
good substantial furniture, attractive
paper on the wall and appropriate
! floor covering.
Give the boy plenty of pictures for
his walls pictures that appeal to him

that will stir up his imagination.
