PRESERVE BEAUTY FOR FUTURE; GENERATIONS Our grandmothers were rarely wage-earners and often had to eke ont ian insufficient dress allowance by i practising severe economy-; they were, | therefore, inveterate hoarders. Nowadavs we -have to ’ thank this “weaknel?? of theirs for all the delightful things it caused them to hand down to us. Who does not experience the keenest pleasure in unearthing, lor a fancy dress ball, a hoarded crinoline frock, a pork-pie hat, a Lilliputian parasol, a bouquet holder, a tiny 'Victorian fan? This is- anything but a hoarding age. We throw aWay as we go, priding ourselves that in so doing v e conform to the conditions imposed upon us by our smaller houses and lack of .store-room? We buy freely and frequently, and what is left to tell the tale ? Precious little! Yet surely some descendant of ours would like to possess. some of the lovely things that we now own? Never, s ‘for instance, have handbags been so beautiful or so artistic. When one of petit-point or beadwork is getting past active Service, why do we not put it •carefully away in lavender, that it may ' eventually become an heirloom in the ; eyes of our great-grandchildren? How exquisite are some of our umL brella-handles! And who thinks of • keeping them, once the umbrella is 1 discarded? Yet X venture to believe • that future generations would treasure 1 the ivories, the carved hone and the ’ painted wood of which we think so , little. L Women who wear exquisitely emf broidered gauntlet gloves should re--1 member that they are worth keeping - if only in order to show their des scendants how dainty they could be in ■ such matters. . I hate, to think of such prettiness being, consigned .to the dustI bin as-soon as the kid begins to - evince signs of wear and tear. it de--1 serves a kindlier fate. 3 ' ! ■ * L.S.
