WHERE "WILL0W"
PLUMES ARE MADE

The tying Of the nues OF willow
plumes-the sweeping artificial ostrich
feathers of the present fashIon-has be-
come during the last two years a very
extensive industry In New York tene-
ments. The factories where these feath-
ers are made are chiefly located In the
Italian district of the upper east side.
On some streets the ground floor and
cupied by small factories and workshops.
and during the season-from March to
June, and from September to December
the window OF every factory has q sign
In Italian: Women wanted to work In
willow Most Of the curling and dyeing
OF the feathers is done in the factories
but 20 per cent OF the "wlllowing"
most lengthy and monotonous part OF the
trade is done In the tenemcnts.
"Willowing' consists in tying TO every
''hue' or filmy strand Of good ostrich
feather two strands stripped from infe-
rior ostrich feathers The work Is paid
for by the inch; FIVE or six cents an inch
In factories, and four or FIVE cents an
inch In the homes for black plunes and
cent less for white, The inch is meas
ured on the stem Of the original feather,
and therefore involves the tying OF In
Vulnerable delicate knots for each inch
OF finished work. A tenement worker
cannot make an eighteeen Inch feather in
less than one and half or two days.
She is paid seventy-two or ninety cents
for this work. The feather sells at re-
tail anywhere from eight and half to
twenty-five dollars.-Elizabeth Shepley
