These panels are on opposite walls of
the chapel and lead up to the Resurrec
tion windows over the altar. The en
tire work occupied two years, a single
head often being composed of a thou
sand or more pieces of glass, all care
fully selected as to color, and accurately
fitted together. The most recent work
eleven figure panels representing coin
making is now being placed in the new
Philadelphia mint. This department of
women workers has varied from eighteen
to thirty-five in number, and has proved
beyond question that women are not
only equal to, but especially fitted by
nature for this branch of artisan art
work. They are paid at exactly the
same rate as the men of equal skill who
do the same work. These men receive
more per week, because their hours are
longer, and they are able to produce
more in a week's time; physical strength
and endurance being in this, as in all
other occupations, an important factor
in the question of comparison between
the work of men and that of women.

Bookbinding.
A letter from Mies Starr of Hull
Houae, Chicago, contributes to our re
port the following lines, which have im
portant suggestions for those whose aim
is to do the best work in bookbinding:
"There is some danger of the old and
dignified craft of bookbinding becoming
a modern 'fad.' Becaupe it is not one
of the great arts, acknowledged to re
quire years of patient effort, it is assum
ed to be something which can be learned
in a few months. The truth is that a
year of constant work is the least time
sufficient to master the craft, and there
are but few competent teachers who are
willing to take women as pupils. Mr.
Cobden-Sanderson cf London takes a
few pupils, and one is indeed highly for
tunate to be received by him. Several
of his pupils will doubtless be ready and
competent to take pupils in the near
future, probably in New York or Chi
cago. "Women are received by some French
binders, but under disadvantages. It is
possible, however, to get instruction in
Paris. In tooling, the French technique
is acknowledged to be the beet."
In the revival of the artist-artisan's
work, with which the new century has
come in, no art craft shows its influence
more than that of hand book-binding.
Two years ago Mr. Cobden-Sanderson,
one of the greatest binders of the pres
ent day. said: "Women should do the
best work in this craft, for they possess
all the essential qualities of success
patience for detail, lightness of touch,
and dexterous fingers." Women today
are Droving that he is right. There are
at present in America a small number
of women who are producing work
which compares favorably with that of
the best binders.
Two binderies, east and west, are al
ready established where women may
work at all the processes of this exact
ing craft, and where they may learn to
bind a book with a perfection of detail
which can not fail to produce a satisfy
ing result.
Other successful workers are returning
from their studies abroad, and soon
hand bookbinding, which offers so large
a field to women for skilled labor, will
have its trained teachers and workshops
in every city in our country.

Leather Work.
The revival of decorative leather work
has opened an exceptional opportunity
for woman's artistic activity. So much
eo, in fact, that the commercial oppor
tunity has been forced and the market
flooded with inferior work. In the pres
ent reaction there is no longer room for
the cheap production, though an ample
field remains for choice, conscientious,
individual expression, both in reproduc
ing the old leathers of Spain, Italy
and the orient and in contemporaneous
conception. Our women have recog
nized this opportunity, and from New
York to California they are producing
leather work worthy in dignity and
strength of the material to which it is
applied. Leather applique has undoubt
edly reached its most artistic develop
ment through Mrs. Burton of Santa
Barbara, and women are producing strik
ingly original work in leather carving
and coloring. I mention only the names
of pioneers in the various styles of work,
as space is somewhat limited.
Historical tradition, process, tech
nique and design must all be considered
in legitimate leather work. Indiscreet
use of ornament and the lack of technic
al precision result in so-called womanish
work; but we are fast outgrowing the
galling, comparative judgment of our
work, "not as mere work, but as mero
woman's work," and in leather, as in
every other branch of art, woman is
winning a worthy position for herself
among individual workers.

Home Weaving.
Among the arte of manufacture, that
of weaving is one of the most indispen
sable, and covers the widest range of
usefulness. Formerly this was a do
mestic industry, and there are btill cer
tain art qualities inherent in domestic
weaving, which are impossible to ma
chine manufactures.
There are industries of production or
manufacture, either indigenous or pecu
liarly adapted to every section of the
country, and there are women's clubs,
with art committees also, in every sec
tion. Whatever is the traditional or
dominant industry, from silk raising to
rag-carpet weaving, it can be made
either beautiful or profitable and popu
lar by the knowledge of these selected
women.

Arts and Crafts of the Indian.
The decorative arts practised by the
American Indians when wo came
among them, far from being fostered
and developed by our presence, have
greatly Buffered, and in some cases have
become extinct. Contempt for native
production was implied when we ig
nored them, generation after generation,
until the Indians themselves turned
from the beautiful handicrafts of their
ancestors. Today the young people of
a tribe are rarely skilled in basket mak
ing, the traditions of this ancient art
being kept alive chiefly by the industry
of the old squawB. Some of the arts and
crafts of the IndianB are hopelessly lost,
othere are perilously near extinction,
but may be preserved by prompt and
judicious aid. The government Ib ex
tending a helpful hand through the In
dian commission. Basketry is to be re
vived in the Indian homes and regular
ly taught on the reservations in the
government schools. This will furnish
the Indian with a natural and congenial
source of self-support, thereby preserv
ing his self-respect and promoting his
physical and mental well-being. Of all
Indian industries basketry is the most
characteristic and varied. It is inter
esting, decorative, and readily adaptable
to civilized uses. The Indian basket
weavers have never been surpassed. The
old and artistic weaves are fast becom
ing priceless. A museum recently paid
1300 for a Pome basket. We Americana
annually pay thousands of dollars for
imported baskets that could better be
made at home by our needy and neg
lected Indian wards. The Navajos have
the foundations of self-support laid in
their blanket weaving, which needs only
