Hand sewing lessons; a graded course for schools and for the home - PREFACE - The value of these lessons has been proven by fifteen pears of experience in the c c Self-Help Circle, a school organized to instruct girls in the domestic arts. At first they were taught on clothing for themselves, which they paid for in small sums from week to week. It was found that while all learned to make garments for home use, few became expert needlewomen. Haste to complete wearing apparel resulted in inferior workmanship. A conlbination course was adopted which gives variety with continuity. It has been used for several years with excellent results. Pupils are taught that only by careful practice can they hope to excel, that these models are tlie way illarks of their progress, and will be treasured by them in the future as their own handiwork. With the text, they form a book of reference on making and mending garments that is highly prized. l Hand Sewing Lessons is a book for those who wish to learn sewing and how to teach it to others. It gives a practical course for normal and high school classes and supplies trained teachers with printed instructions for pupils in place of writtcn ones that take so niuch time and that overlap the work of other departments. The stitches are combined for practice while new ones are being learned, so as to form a continuous line of progress and carry out the principle of bridging the way from the known to the unknown, and of making a pleasant road to knowledge, which will beconie a part. of daily life in after pears. Thanks are due to hirs. Edwin E. Leggett of Detroit, former superintendent of the Solvay Sewing School, Delray, Michigan, for suggestions from her school notes and plan of finger exercises, and to Mrs. Julia dArcamba1 Giddings for her assistance.

Rural Architecture
- Author: Allen Lewis Falley
- Genre: Decoration & Ornament
Rural Architecture is a great book that belongs to the pen of Allen Lewis Falley who was not proficient in the area of design or construction. And despite this he managed to create a really good study about the architecture, its style and the methods of building construction in rural areas. Most of the ideas expressed in the book were received by Allen Lewis Falley from his observations. A number of engineers have followed his tips already and many successful and nice farm buildings have been erected. So the book is definitely recommended for those who are planning to build something in a village and want to learn more about the possible ways of building.

Art in Needlework
- Author: Buckle Mary
- Genre: Crafts & Hobbies
Embroidery may be looked at from more points of view than it would be possible in a book like this to take up seriously. Merely to hover round the subject and glance casually at it would serve no useful purpose. It may be as well, therefore, to define our standpoint: we look at the art from its practical side, not, of course, neglecting the artistic, for the practical use of embroidery is to be beautiful.
