PRICE FIVE CENTS ENTIRE VILLAGE PRESENT Handicraft Shop Opening Provides Evening of Rare Enjoyment. Art and Craft Creations from Many Lands Replete with Intercut and Fascination. LWAYS enjoyable, al ways anticipated, are the annual openings of the Handicraft Shop, now looked forward to from year to year as the first of the season's more formal affairs, and none has provided a more delightful evening than Monday's gathering which drew together the entire Village. A cosmopolitan throng it was for art be longs to the world, and in the enjoyment of it, all touch elbows and exchange greetings, breaking through the lines which at other times, divide the various walks of life, which though running side by side, are often far apart; the recollec lion one of an evening happily spent. Of never ending fascination has been the Shop, but rearrangement and addi tional novelties have, this season, made it even more charming than heretofore, the arrangement calculated to suggest more fully than in the past just what a wealth of things of rare interest the place contains. To be sure one finds old friends in the native rugs and novelties, with a stock more complete ; rugs of light and heavy weave, rugs for "cabins" and "bunga lows," rugs of simple and elaborate de sign, all rich in soft colors, all woven on the hand loom which is not in the literal sense, a "machine"; their texture like the brush marks upon a painting, show ing the individuality of their creators. There are also the same Russian toys of carved wood, the jumping-jack bears, mechanical peacocks, horses, cows, dogs and the like which bob their heads and wag their tails alternately, not only to the delight of the little ones but older folks as well, with many things new and equally amusing. There are puzzle boxes and puzzle eggs of unique construction, and not only jig saw puzzles, but special boards to hold them, so that they may be transported to places of safety without fear of dis turbance until the problem is solved. There are colored dolls, realistically garbed, and miniature antique furniture perfect in form, finish and color which is a joy to the collector, and (it is really useless to try and tell) no end of things which will send the children into ecstasies of delight. Wondrously popular among grown-ups are bamboo baskets of varied design, done in soft rich red-brown, and baskets of sweet grass, wire grass and reeds, representing not only native workers, but the Indians and many others. Brass and copper creations add a re freshing note of color and line, Russian lace in large variety, fascinates, there are exquisite picture frames in antique lac quer effect, dainty embroidery andnative ness has been added to by a bright frieze of red and green drapery and the use of Christmas greens and pine boughs. Until the season closes it will, as in the past, be the show place of the Village. Manager and Mrs. George F. Fosdick were assisted in receiving by their daughter, Mrs. Martha L. Stephens, Miss May me Casey, Miss Florence B.Campen, Miss Fannie Gray, Mrs. A. M. Swinner- ton and Mrs. John Peacock.
