history OF the
Common. Pin

The common ordinary garden variety
of pin has been quantity and ~pointedly
termed the emblem of attachment"
and 1t Is q wonder to think that women
ever lived without these attachments,
for there is hardly an hour OF the day
when we d. not have the need OF pins.
They hold many of our hats together,
and q woman has wen been known to
keep an o~bstreperous shos button In
place with their aid. The ordinary pin
was first invented and brought into use
about the beginning of the sixteenth
century, though there were pins made
of metal In their present form as early
as f64S, and in hat year an English
statute vas passed called AN act for
the true making OF pynnes," which linz
tied their cost not to exceed 6 shillings
and 8 pence a thousand.
Previous to this pins were made of
lockwood, bone and silver. but only the
rich, OF course. could afford to buy
these. The poorer elasses having to
use pins made them OF common wood,
like our skewers.
When pins first came into use they
were a favorite New Years gift. Men
presented them to the girls of their &C.
quaintance much as they do flowers In
these days, OF husbands CAV their
wives an equivalent IN money, which
Was called pin money" an expression
which later on grew to be known as the
amount OF money which a husband laid
aside for his wife for her private e
penses,
