She had had a good bit of bindery experience. The man was noncommittal. The very refined middle-aged woman had had years of experience. She no sooner spoke of it than the man squinted his eyes at her and said: “You belong to the union then, don't you?” “Yes,” the woman admitted, with no hesitation, “I do, but that makes no difference. I'm perfectly willing to work with nonunion girls.
As his hand touched it in his breast pocket a terrible thought flashed across his excited brain. Ten minutes later he reached the cottage where Dorothy boarded. One of the bindery girls was sitting on the porch as he came up. "Why, hello, Jack!" she cried. "What are you doing here?" "Where's Dorothy?" he interrupted, quickly. "Is she in the house yet? I want the truth. You must tell me!"
In twenty minutes' time she was to start back to the city. "Have you had a pleasant time, Dorothy?" asked her companion, smiling down into her pleased, flushed face. "I have had the most pleasant hours of my life!" declared Dorothy. "It has been like heaven here; I am sorry to go. And oh! how dark and drear to-morrow will be in the bindery, after such a pleasant outing here."
Very vivid is the contrast between the quiet, humdrum air of the old-fashioned bindery hand-work, and the ceaseless clang and roar of the machinery which turns out thousands of volumes in a day. "Not as ours the books of old, Things that steam can stamp and fold."
"Come here, John, and hold my horses." Spalton dropped the axe and obeyed. Afterward he had been dismissed with a fifty cent tip. He told the story on himself, and the name "John" stuck. Working in the bindery, I began to find out things about the community of Eos that were not as ideal as might be ... most of the illumination of the books was done by girls, even by children after school hours.

Dr. Bolen said she showed no signs of having taken the infection and it would be quite safe for her to go home if she would change all her clothes for those which Eric took to the bindery and Mr.
It seems to me he is trying 'to cool off, as we girls in the bindery used to say." Dorothy tiptoed over to the window as she heard the front door slam after him, and if he had looked back he would have seen a very defiant though tear-stained face peering earnestly after him from behind the lace curtains.
A teacher at a public-school social center inquired of a group of fifty girls, cracker-packers, garment-workers and bindery girls, how long each had been in her present situation. Only one had held hers eighteen months. No other had reached a year in the same place. The average appeared to be about three or four months. Worse still is another class of blind-alley occupation.
Cobden-Sanderson and established her bindery at Hull-House in which design and workmanship, beauty and thoroughness are taught to a small number of apprentices. From the very first winter, concerts which are still continued were given every Sunday afternoon in the Hull-House drawing-room and later, as the audiences increased, in the larger halls.
