Back to Colonial Days. Along some ancestral Use nearly every American woman can find some charming great-grandmother, who wore paint and patches, who powdered her hair, used the spinning wheel, rode on a plUloa and knitted with huge needles that were warranted to do as much execution with the aearts of admiring swains as with the worsted they fashioned Into hosiery, gloves and headwear. is this which makes toe spinning wheel a Joy forever, tf not a thing of beauty.

In some parts of the country there are still spinning wheels in daily em ploymenL A few must be a century old. It may be noticed that these stanch pieces of the carpenter's hand Icrafl are strong, heavy and somewhat awkward. They have not the artistic finish of the neatly turned and carved wheels which are found to so many esthetic parlors. Some of these artistic wheels are so delicate and dainty that they would break the moment they were set to work at maktoj strong, thick thread. This difference does not dlsoourag* m modern young woman, who to con fronted bjf a dire dilemma. She muri have a spinning wheel because It to romantic and historic, and then tbs wheel must be an object of lovellnew to "■♦c** the furniture tr the boudoir of her own style of oomsitoees.
