 Mrs. Hodgdon has seen the cotton business change from struggling lit tie industry. hampered by poor ma chinery and even by dearth of cot ton caused by the Civil war, to per haps the greatest activity of New England, and one of the greatest in the United States. When she began her work the cotton loom was little different from the hand loom which had been in use since antiquity. At that time there were many hand looms still in use. Mrs. Hodgdon says she does not remember whether she ever used a hand loom, but says she knew weavers in Canada who were then using them

ETIQUETTE FOR THE VISITOR
Many Little Points That Mean Much and Must Be Considered of
 Importance.

A girls first fitting from home sur roundings and restraint is a pretty good test of her manners and true character. She often develops traits that she herself was never before aware of. How often to attract at tention and court popularity at some summer resort the quiet sedate maiden suddenly becomes conspicu- ous and sporty" or strangers may have the effect of making her self conscious and rude. She does mot mean to be so, but she often loses her perspective for the true fitness of things and a new environment breeds all manner of unsuspected qualities.
 If she would only realize the wealth of wisdom and the breadth of expert ence that a well-bred girl may glean from travelling and meeting interest Ing people!
 She should never be cold and for bidding to strangers, but she should also avoid the fatal mistake of rush ing into intimacies which she will too often regret.
 A gracious manner and good tenn per are charms which attract invaria- bly, and the natural sweetness of girl hood is greater than any pose which she may try to assume.
 When visiting friends or relatives guest should adapt herself as well as possible to her new environment and bring no jarring note or undue dis turbance into the family circle. There are so many little attentions that can bring comfort and joy into house holdl If a hostess feels that her guest needs constant entertaining and amusement and special service, she will not wish to repeat her invitation sc soon again.
 Never be late for meals, be pleas ant to the servants, observe the per vading habits of your host and hos tess, be thoughtful and considerate, so that when your visit Is ended there will be true regret, and there will be a genuine ring in your hostess voice when she says, Be sure and come soon again."

It may be doubled. plaited or folded over. and laid over or about white hemp shape and fastened to the shape with band of handsome ribbon and rosettes of fine flowers. Rich lace should be applied to the shape with very little fullness. The design and work are to show and must be emphasized; therefore full gatherings are out of harmony. If there is too much lace in a length, one end may be rolled up and con- cealed under a trimming.

Luxurious NeoIluees.

Some of the new negligees are hard to tell from the transparent coats which are displayed in other depart ments. Between a pink chiffon bou- doir gown, embroidered in self color and dropped over a pink silk lining, and a pink chiffon embroidered coat over pink satin, there was so little radical difference that only one sophis- ticated in distinctions sartorial could have asserted which was for which. The average woman, however, will content herself with one of the dis tracing boudoir gowns of china silk and lace, or of lowered organdy cut in lovely long lines and inset with lace honeycombings.
