Not only are such matters<br >as knitting， sewing， embroidering and crocheting dealt with dearly，<br >but there are innumerable articles on making useful toys， while several<br >of the more pop，flat arts and crafts find a place among the pages.<br > Although the satisfaction of making things is sufficient in itself， it<br >may be pointed out that a large number of the items included in this<br >book will have an actual monetary value when carefully completed.<br >Many of the articles， for instance， are admirable tor selling at bazaars<br >and similar tnnetions. Thus the book has many uses and it is safe<br >to say that its possessor will turn to it a thousand times for help and<br >inspiration.<br >
