CHANGELEss WEAVING
Methods Have Remained the Same from
Early Days of the Art

With all the improvements that the
twentieth century has brought in almost
every line of production, tapestry weav-
ing has not changed for several hundred
years Modern tapestries are pro-
dueed in exactly the same manner as
medieval ones,' said T.. Woeller. rep
resentative of the Societa Anonima
Schmid, tapestry weayers of Milan,
Italy. There has been no improvement
since the 18th century.
There are two methods of weaving
tapestry, the high-warp as employed in
the production of the famous Goeblin
tapestries, and the low-warp used in the
BeauYais In the first case the worker
sits at his work and in the other he
bends over it, but in each the method
of weaving is the same.
In the story of the competition be-
tween Minerva and Arachne, as told by
Ovid, there appears to be a description
of this kind of weaving, and there are
specimens which date back to the second
century, which seems to corroboFate
this. From the fifth century on, morias-
teries and nunneries became the centers
of activity for the weaving industry.
Then craft guilds were formed in Eng
land and France, and the Weavers'
guild of London was chartered by Henry
some of the most interesting tapestries
come. The renaissance in art and lit
erature also brought with it the revival
of tapestry weavings The art grew
more skillful as time went on, and the
tapestries of the 18th and 10Th centuries
are rich with silk and metal threads.
Tapestries were woven for all important
court occasions One of the most beau
tiful is that made in the 10th century to
commemorate the fetes on the OCCASION
of the marriage of Henry H. and Cath
crime de Mediei
In the 10th century the weavers of
tapestry in Belgium were obliged to
mark their work and this also became
the law for Flemish and French weav-
ers. This has enabled us to identify
some of the finest of the old productions.
Among the most magnificent tapestries
of the world were those in the Cathedral
of Rheims. The tapestries, | believe,
Were removed to safety before the de-
struction of the Cathedral
There are some marvellous tapestries
in the Louvre at Paris and In the Royal
palace at Turin, Italy. The palace at
Madrid has one of the largest and most
beautiful collections i'm Europe. there be-
ing more than thousand pieces in the
group.
$50 in our modern tapestries today
we use the same sort of looms and pro-
ceed in exactly the same manner as they
did in the Middle Ages, when the art
of tapestry weaving was brought to its
highest perfection

Mentally Uns0und.
Harry Putnam of Chesterfield n. H.,
who was in the municipal court last week
Thursday after making the night hideous
with yelling and shrieking on Guilford
road and who told the court that he had
wife in Keene but wouldn't give 81
for her, is in the AIelrose hospital in
West Brattleboro with serious injuries
as the result of being knocked down by
an automobile in West Chesterfield yes
terday forenoon.
Putnam, who very evidently is men
tally affected, was walking down the hill
below the so-called Four Corners on the
Spofford Lake road when two Bellows
Falls automobiles were going up the hill,
being headed for the lake for picnic.
The first chr was driven by George
Cooper and the second car, which was
not far behind, was driven by Roy L..
Seeber.
Mr.. Cooper noticed that the man was
walking nearer the middle of the road
than a man ordinarily would walk when
a car was approaching, and he pulled
his car toward the ditch to avoid strik-
ing him. Mr.. Cooper thought the man
acted queerly and turned to look at him.
shortly afterwards Putnam stepped in
front of the second car and was struck.
Whether he realized what he was doing
is not known
Selectman Harold f. Randall of West
Chesterfield was notified by Mr.. Seeber
and made an investigation He Nas con-
WINGED that the motorist was not respon-
sible for the accident.
The ambulance was sent from this vii
lage and Putnam, who said he was Us
years old. was brought to the MelroSe
hospital, after being bandaged By DIR. f.
X. Lynch 1t was found that his right
leg was broken above the knee, the right
hip was disloeated two fingers on his
right hand were broken, his nose was
broken. cuts were inflicted on the chin
and right temple, and muscles We're in
jured in various places. So far as has
been discovered he was not injured inter
nally.
Following Putnam's hearing in the
municipal court last week he was re-
leased and went to West Chesterfield.
Selectman Randall took him to Keene
Friday to have him examined and in
, tended to take him to the County Farm
in Westmoreland, but while Mr.. Randall
was in one of the Offices Putnam got out
of the automobile and disappeared. Pre-
, viously he had visited the home of Mr..
Randall and said he had breakfast in
New York, dinner in Boston and in
tended to have supper in New Hamp-
shire. In court here in response TO a
question by the court as to where he
( lived Putnam said he would figure it out
If given paper and pencil.
After disappearing in keene Putnam
was not seen again by Mr.. Randall until
alter the accident yesterday.
