hundred and sixty pairs of wooden
stockings during the war between the
states. and that she was now engaged
in knitting for soldiers in the third
war, as she had also contributed to
boxes sent to the soldiers during the
Spanish American war.
1t has been emphasized that the one
thing that the European peasant women
know how to do better than anything
else is to knit. The war has taken
away from them their fields. their tools
and implements. They have nothing
and memories. IT is not only furnishing
ing them mental tonic to send them
needles and yarns which will bring
peace to their war-Worn nerves and
balm of helpfulness to their breaking
hearts.
This idea has been given impetus par
ticularly by the American refugees. who
ned from Europe at the outbreak of the
war, who saw the peasant women in
their homes industriously knitting, and
who themselves on the refugee trains
and on shipboard crossing the Atlantic
took up the pastime.
Those in charge of the relief work
point out for the guidance of those who
are knitting for the war sufferers that

IhiS earlier style of engraving Mr.
SmIliie pointed out, was for the pur-
pose of reproducing broad yeneralities
in light and shade, while later en-
SraVers came to use textures of va

to the taste of the engraver. These
artists of later day worked with
greater detail and their work is more
intricate and difficult This is not only
due to the mechanical difficulties Iut
