Weaving and Spinning.

1t Is likely that the art Of weaving,
in Its most elementary form, was prnc-
tlced long before men abandoned the
use Of animal skins for clothing, or
perhaps even before they adopted
clothing at all. No doubt 1t began
with the first crude attempts Of print
tive women to weave twlgs into some
kind of object
After they had succeeded In making
baskets and similar articles, II prob
ably occurred to some bright cave
woman that clothing might be made
by weaving some soft material like
wool, says writer, according to the
Detroit News To do this 1t would be
necessary to twist tufts Of wool into
long strands. Thus the beginning Of
spinning And as the strands Of wool
were not stiff like twlgs, II would be
necessary TO have certain number
Of them taut between poles or some
thing IN order to weave the fabric.
Thus the first loom.
