A New Art For Ladies'

instruction To All


and interesting ways for women to
spend their idle moments is the max
ing of useful articles out Of crepe
paper and paper rope. This is not
only a fad now in the East, but is
rapidly gaining in popularity all over
the country. The paper aircraft is
fast taking the place of knitting and
crocheting because of its wide variety
of useful articles, such as lamp
shades, hats, vases, flowers, party
favors, baskets, bags costumes, cen
terpieces table mats and hundreds of
other practical articles.
| 1t is more interesting than most
other handiwork and the opportuni-
ties that it offers milady to incor-
porate little original ideas into her
dinner party and costume as well as
the economy of it makes it an occu-
patton that all ladies and girls will
soon be interested in.
Basketry is one of the most fasci-
mating of crafts. The possibility OF
creating an endless variety of bas-
kets in every shape and size makes
the work unusually attractive. Weav'
ing with crepe paper rope and wire
is not difficult, as the wire is easily
shaped and the rope is therefore soft
and pliable. This is in contrast to
some of the other materials used In
basketry, such as cane or grass. This
is also probably accountable for the
rapid increase in the popularity of
paper rope weaving from season to
season. This summer at the New
York Chautauqua free instructions in
rope weaving were given every day
for a ten.week period. Hundreds OF
visitors to the Chautaqua spent some
time at the instruction tables, which
were set out among the trees within
sight of the big amphitheater. Among
those who studied rope weaving were
many school teachers who will spread
the knowledge of the work among
: hundreds of pupils.
Everyone is Wearing Paper Hat
3 You may not believe it, becaus
:, they look so much like those mad
s of straw, silk or felt that you canno
tell a paper hat from one made
n fabric material. Just look closely a

d hat you see and very likely you wi
find that crepe paper is the materi;
10 from which it is made. l suppos
,s you will say. well, II they get WI
10 they are ruined" This is not II
% case. When crepe paper hats al
! finished they will stand the sam
weather conditions as other hats.
