New Wicker Process,

Correspondence .-Ever since the
basket was made in which Moses
took his memorable trip down the
river wicker weaving has been done
in the same old way-makinc the
framework first and then weaving
and wrapping by hand around it,
Nowadays what Is commonly known
as wicker. but is really an imitation
made of hber. rs worked up by a
new and economical process. In
stead of weaving the basketwork in
and out of the frame. so that the
whole article is done in one piece
by the new system the frame is
made first. then the patterned
pieces. woven separately. or even
cut from lengths of woven fabric
are adjusted to the framework
Frames are made in one department
weaving is done in an entirely sep
arate section, and then the various
parts are brought together and COM

Most OF them are in very good
handwriting. such as we should be
proud to claim. They are a little
hard to read sometimes. owing to
the differences in fetters and SPELL

the Inconsistencies of spelling even
in the same document in that time.
Most of these documents begin
with the phrase This indenture."

that the year of the sovereign's reign
is given first. before the quantity

were loyal colonists. Everything
emanates from the king. In his
name are grants given. patents

Sometimes wonderfully-drawn por-

they are made out adorn these
papers, to say nothing of coats-of-

No Matter!
Within another year Anthony and
Gloria had become like PLAYERS who
had lost their costumes. lacking tho
pride to continue on tho note of
traGedy-so that when Mrs and
Miss Hulme of Kansas city cut
them dead in the Plaza ono evening.
1T was only that Mrs. and Miss
Hulme. like most people. abominated
mirrors of their atavistic selves.
Their new apartment. for which
they paid sS5 a month, was situated
on Claremont avenue. which Is two
blocks from the Hudson in the dim
hundreds. They had lived there a
month when Muriel Kane came to
see them late one aftrnoon.
1t was reproachless twilight on
the summer side OF spring. Anthony
lay upon the lounge looking up
One Hundred and Twenty
street toward the river. near which
he could just see a single patch
of vivid green trees that guaranteed
the brummagem umbrageousness of
riverside Drive. Across the water
were the Palisades. crowned by the
ugly framework Of the amusement
park-yet soon it would be dusk and
those same iron cObwebs would be
a glory against the heavens. an
enchanted palace set over the
smooth radiance of tropical canal
The streets near the apartment,
Anthony had found, were streets
where children played-streets a
little nicer than those he had been
used to pass on his way to MARI
eta, but of the same general sort,
with an occasional hand-organ or
hurdy- -gurdy. and I'm the cool of the

With a tired movement he arose
and obeyed; the gray wlndowpan
vanished. He stretched himself.

his flesh had softened and expanded.
He was thirty-two and his mind was
