An excerpt:
"Rare indeed is the woman whose fingers do not linger
lovingly on the beautiful beads which are so temptingly displayed on the
counters of all the large stores. Rarer still is the one who does not secretly,
if not openly, break that commandment which admonishes us not to covet, as her
eyes wander from one basket to another filled with their treasures which vie
with the colors of the rainbow...(at) This time it is the Indian work which is
done on a hand loom that is attracting lovers of fancy work: and the handsome
indeed in design and workmanship are the belts, sashes, fan, lorgnette, and
watch-chains, purses, bracelets and fobs, which are woven on these
looms."
