Jane has brought a linen collar. Here is a small china doll wrapped as a mummy. Marjorie's grandmother has sent some flax which she grew and prepared herself, and a piece of an old hand-woven towel which she made when a girl. And here is some hand-spun flax ! Notice how rough it looks. We have, also, some cord and twine and some linen thread. Do you know that Paterson, New Jersey, where Marjorie's Cousin Ann works in the silk mill, is also a great center for linen thread manufacture ? Thread is... made by twisting fine yarns together. The twisting makes them strong. They are then dyed or bleached white. Much of our linen thread is unbleached in color. . Why ? Suppose we draw a picture of the flax stalk and flower on our chart and fasten some of the school- grown flax to it. All the other things can be arranged and fastened too, by punching holes in the cardboard and tying them on with cord. What an interesting story it makes. Perhaps the chil- dren of the lower classes would like to hear the story told by one of the seventh grade girls some morning.
