OLD HOUSEHOLDS LOST ARTS
variety of Technical Crafts Learned
BY Daughters lin New England
Homes.

Those early New Englanders were in
trade schools from the time they began to
crawl on the floor among their mothers
looms and spinning wheels, says writer In
Eyerybody's Magazine. There was hardly
a home in early New England that didn't
give a large number OF technical courses
In which men and women were always
teaching by doing. and the boys and girls
were always learning by initiating.
The facts about this are so simple and
so familiar that we don't stop to think of
their meaning. When in the spring the
wood ashes from the winter fires were
poured into the I've barrel and water was
poured in with them, and the I've began to
trickIe out from the bottom of the barrels
and the winters savings Of grease We're
brought out, and the grease and the I've

mother had finished making the famly's
supply of soap for another year. the chill
dren had taken not only a little lesson in
industriousness, by helping to make the
soap, but little lesson in industry, too, by
observing the technique and organization Of
the soap business from start to finish
boy from that family even If he never
learned to read or write might some day
have some ideas about soap.
Spinning was very small part of the de-
paltment Of textiles. In the sub-depart-
ment of flax, after heckling thai flax with
combs of increasing degrees Of fineness,
after spinning it into yarn, after Keeling
the yarn off into skeins, after 'buching''
the slxeins in hot I've, and after using shut
tie and loom to weave the stuff into cloth,
the no ne woman of those days had to ac-
complsh some twenty subsequent processes
Of Jucling rinsing, posing, drying and
bleaching before the cloth was ready for
use.
In the sub-department of wool, IN addition
TO being carders, spinners and weavers,
women were dyers handling all the color
resources Of the times
We pass over. as trivial, the making OF
flax and wool stuffs into articles Of actual
use, We say nothing about the transfor-
nation Of cloth into clothes. table covers,
napkins nothing about the weaving OF
yarn on little lap looms into the narrow

SOME HOPE FOR ALIMoNIES
Pulling the Cast-Off Purse stigma
tized Graft and an Incentive
to Divorce.

Mrs. Gabriel L. Mulliner OF New York
is opposed to alimony. She VOWS that II
breeds divorce. She stigmatizes II boldly
as graft. She makes a careful differentia-
ton between divorce cases that are compli-
Gated by children and divorce cases that
are not so complicated.
In the latter circumstances she has moth
ing but scorn for the woman who draws
an income from the man with whom she
has refused TO live and from whom she
has freed herself. Nor can she understand
how woman can send her former husband
to Ludlow street jail. that most uncongenlaI
and uncomfortable place
But what does Mrs. Mulllner propose to
do In the cases in which a woman finds Il
impossible to live with a man and finds
it equally impossible to support herself
without that man?
AS a matter of fact there are a dozen
divorced wives who share Mrs. Mulnner's
proud feelings. But they are the ones who
are able 10 make their way in the world
themselves or have relatives to support
them.
Mrs. Muliner mentions, amid every token
Of profound sympathy, sculptor who is
supporting one wife and struggling to
pay alimony. The second lady was a luxury

the general impression. the effect as a
whole, that counts in dress. Style and
smartness are nothing but intelligence
sometimes no more than the tying 70
ribbon. But it means study-the study of
color and the magic of the becoming line,
1t means knowing how to lift dress from
merely covering into making it living
part of oneself. II means knowing how to

Style is the knowledge of self

For instance. there never yet was a stout
woman who didn't have a particular fond
ness for light tan and bright coIcrs. For
some reason known only to herself, fashion
doesn't concern herself much about the fat
woman. The fashions each season are
created apparently for the tall, slender
woman Consequently. each season the
stout woman has troubles CT her own, par
ticularly so when 1t comes TO the selection
Of bathing suit.
There Is the stout woman who has mar
row shoulders and large bust and hips
There is the rolypoly stout woman whose
legs are too short, and the stout woman
whose waist is too short Each type Of
stout woman must be treated in a differ
ent way.
Generally speaking the stout woman's
costumes should always suggest long lines
She should avoid conspicuous colors She
should never wear gowns that fit as If they
We're moulded to her figure. She must look
comfortable above all things. Unless the
stout woman's figure is finely proportioned
she should not wear princess styles. but
should always show the waist line softly
defined.
The stout woman whose arms are rather
short and fat should always wear long
sleeves and the sleeves should be made of
one material Polka dots are fashionable
in bathing suit materials but they Will
never help the stout woman to look her
best while conspicuous stripes are out Of
the question too. The stout woman must
wear dark colors if'she would appear small

The tall. thin woman should avoid YER

But whether YOU are the thin or the
