THE 
SPINNER FAMILY 
I 
AN INTRODUCTION TO MRS. EPEIRA 
HE Spinners are neighbors 
of ours. ‘They set up their 
housekeeping in our yards 
and gardens, in our barns and cellars, 
and sometimes in the best rooms of 
our houses. They are skilful little 
architects and builders, but they are 
so quiet and even wary about their 
work that few people ever succeed in 
catching them at it. 
We must visit them in their homes 
to find out what they do and how 
they do it.
