DRAWN from Introduction:

\"It is the inexorable rule of life that necessities shallcome first; but, when these are secured, the next object alwaysis, or should be, to add to them something of beauty. Human life that does not rise above the bare necessities of physical existence is scarcely worth the living. It is woman s peculiar province to supply this need of beauty in the home, tocover the hard facts of life with something pleasant to lookupon something to refine and elevate. This is the primaryobject of the decorative arts, and we have borne it in mindin selecting these patterns. In this pleasant work we havebeen greatly aided by ladies who have made a specialty of thehousehold decorative arts. Fancy work can be carried toan undesirable extreme, like every other good thing. Wehave no sympathy with those who take it up as the seriousbusiness of life to the neglect of more important matters;but when all other duties are conscientiously attended to, it isthen a matter worthy of time, patience and zeal. Those whoare debarred, through illness, from taking part in the moreactive work of life, but who gladly turn to any device bywhich their hands may be usefully and pleasantly employed,welcome this kind of work. We hope that our readers mayderive as much pleasure from this little volume as we havetaken in preparing IN:
