In Colonial Ddus



@oLoN1AL days were a time Of dom@icIty which played a far more
which we're nor frowned upon than favored. But any work OF a-
compIshment that enhanced the charm Of the home or added to its CON-
fort was promptly undertaken and developed to its fullest extent
A Boston schoolmaster, in recommending his school, offered to teach
young women and children all sorts of fine works as feather works., ALL
gree and painting on glass, embroidering a ley way, Turkey work for
handkerchiefs, two new ways fine fashion purses, hourishing n
plain work. And he seemed to have a great vogue.
The feather work must have been quite perkhable so that little of it
remains, but the painting or glass vas more popular and many specimens
still survive. We find coy maidens and flowers and fruit as favorite sui
jectst and the art also extended to the painting of coats Of arms which were
beautifully executed and lovely in color
Embroidery wa brought to a state of great mechanical perfection, and
many designs, known as mourning pieces were worked to commemorate
ONE ancestor or friend. This was considered a great mark of respect and
these stiff, inartlsuc pieces of handlwork were framed and hung upon the
walls But it "a only when the stitches and colors o antique embroid-
cries We're oc more mastered and brought into use that the handfwork
became beautiful and as a result Of this revival W 70 have in good preser-
did double duty in teaching both letters and stitches. Sometimes they
contained the alphabet or a sentence from the Bible or a wen-known verse,
or fancy could further weave a bird, tree OF favorte flower intot the design.
1t gave scope for displaying great individuality and the workmanship
showed rare patience and accomplishment,
Earlier wen than the samples 1t ws the fashion to paint OF carve mottoes
and place them conspcuously for all to read. AS books we're rare in those
days. these notices were supposed 20 take their place. Women also embroid-
cred whole notices n wearing apparel and petticoats n aprons with eIabo-
rate designs are still carefully preserved.
AS oon a a little girl could successfully learn to hold the needle she as
fore she was considered truly accomplished. Knitting "a OF only used for
strictly useful articles, but also for ornamental bags inc purses were in high
favor and watch-chains we're also added to the list Of favorite gifts
The making of lace a never made an industry in the colonies, but
won of that day considered 1t a n elegant accomplishment to be able to do
tambour work OIL muslin OF lace. and Ito darn designs OIL net o. learn the in
trcate stitches OF pillow lace Exquisite collars N wells were made in this
a and hundreds of beautiful stitches we're ued in their making.

they took great pride "a Papyrotania This meant cutting u If stiff paper
various decorative and ornamental motifs with scissors.

Select a bluefish weighing six pounds,
have 1t split, cleaned and the head left
on, rinse thoroughly so that no scales
or blood remain upon it, dust it lightly
with pepper and salt. Make a savory
dressing with plenty of butter and have
it highly seasoned; stuff the body and
the head s well, and tie with kitchen
tape-do not sew 1t, as 1t makes it diff
f1cult to serve and it is also apt to
burst. Lay thin slices of bacon on
the top and haste with some Of the
melted butter. Garnish with cold boiled
egg rings and fried parsley; serve with
butter and parsley sauce. Remember
to grease the rack well before laying
the fish on 1t to bake, so that it does
not stick.

can be easily secured if one will de-

The first thing to be done in the
breeding of corn is to go through a

Under the pretext that it was too far for
the people to go to Jerusalem, he erected
a golden bull near the northern extremity
of his kingdom, and another near the

The Thing Was of the Lord
Lest we should suppose that the affairs
Of IsraeIs Kingdom, under Divine super
vision, were neglected and allowed to go
astray, we are particularly informed that
''the thing was Of the Lord" From this
standpoint Of faith and from no other the
history Of Israel should be studied.
God had chosen to give Israel the La"

oping in them as nation holiness, faith

been to this end, and now the time had
come to do sitting, separating Work.
