Luxuries had not found their way into domestic life. The women did house-work. The oppression of trade by England had stimulated home industry. Spin- ning-wheels for wool and flax hummed lullabys to children in the broad kitchens, and hand-looms clat- tered through the winter days as they wove the yarn or the thread into homespun. The homes of minis- ters were not always sober. Doctor Styles, the same 44 that formed one of the council which ordained John Hubbard, tells us in his manuscript diar...y at Yale College, of a donation party at his house in Newport, where the women had a spinning match, at which there were thirty-seven spinning-wheels going at one time. There was a grand break down of denominational lines, at least, that day. Among the spinners were two Quakers, six Baptists, and twenty-nine of his own society. Besides the spinners were sixteen reelers to reel the yarn. Sixty persons dined at the parson- age. What a humming and buzzing! Do you suppose those fifty and more women made no music at the pastor's house ?
