And when I am tall enough for the big wheel I shall enjoy running to and fro. I have an uncle at Germantown who weaves. Mother lets us visit him now and then, and I delight in that." Hannah had so many aunts and cousins that the little girl quite envied her. Bella Morris had a great deal to say about her newly married aunt, who, after all, was no real relation, but her father's sister-in-law.
Poise, on the other hand, invites sympathy. It aids men to expand. It creates friends when needed, and weaves the bonds of comradeship and of protection without which our social fabric could not hold together. Educators should seek for inspiration in the lessons that the exigencies of modern life offer to the view of the observer.

The day passed apace to usher in the evening with its messenger of peace. Where, in that squalid place, would he seat her, whose peculiar province was the drawing-room?

But with us Americans, and in this age, when all these vast labors are being more and more transferred to arms of brass and iron, when Rochester grinds the flour, and Lowell weaves the cloth, and the fire on the hearth has gone into black retirement and mourning, when the wiser a virgin is, the less she has to do with oil in her lamp, when the needle has made its last dying speech and confession in the "Song of the Shirt," and the sewing-machine has changed those doleful marches to delightful measures, how is it possible for the blindest to help seeing that a new era is begun, and that the time has come for woman to learn the alphabet?
In Egypt the dead men have combined them, and the combination has an irresistible fascination, weaves a spell that entrances you in the sunshine and beneath the blinding blue. At Abydos I knew it.
