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. During the
evening music was furnished by The
Holly Inn orchestra, and punch was

ber ; in fact every nook and corner of the
big room and the shelves about it, is
laden with things which make the visit
one of delight. As in the past home
made candy will be a special feature and
plans are being made for native rug
weaving, always interesting to visitors.
At no season of the year does the Shop
appeal more than during these weeks
when thoughts go out to loved ones at
home, and its customary attractive-
