THE HANDICRAFT SHOP AT MANCHESTER. 
first opened a year ago, largely as a re- 
sult of the personal interest and efforts of 
Mrs. William Hooper. The eloquent 
words of Miss Helen Keller who was 
present and the chief speaker at the in- 
auguration of the enterprise will be re- 
called now that the little shop quietly and 
courageously begins its second season 
with Mrs. Hooper, its chief sponsor ab- 
sent in Europe. ‘To the summer colon- 
ists at Manchester a year ago, Miss 
Keller said: ‘‘ Responsibilities and good 
works have followed you here and set up 
this little shop. “They follow you not in 
gray garb of charity and social problems, 
but as purveyors of beauty to charm the 
eye and light the intellect.’’ 
The shop is this year again filled with 
both useful and beautiful articles. The 
following list is of novel interest as show- 
ing the astonishing number and different 
kinds of articles in which the processes 
of hand work may be done without sight. 
Artistic hand-woven materials, bags, 
(opera, sewing), bedspreads, etc., belts, 
card cases, covers (book, couch, pillow, 
table, etc. ), curtains, dress patterns, 
luncheon sets, portieres, purses, rugs

cases (gown and traveling), cloths (dish, 
glass, cleaning, silver, etc.), covers 
(brooms and ironing boards), dusters, 
face cloths, holders, mops, protection 
sleeves, towels (crash, dish, glass, linen 
and roller); also basket and rush-seat 
stools, wirework plant-stands, (coat- 
hangers, etc. ) 
The two Manchester young women, 
who first interested Mrs. Hooper in this 
work, one with partial sight and one 
wholly without sight, will again be em- 
ployed at the salesroom. Miss Knowl- 
ton will again work as weaver at the 
hand-loom and Miss McClintock, who 
wil act as general helper, will also be 
occupied with a unique bit of work 
which is being experimented with for the 
first time by the blind. This work is 
stuffing dolls’ legs for the newly patent- 
ed, hot water bottle doll for sick and 
delicate children, known as Patty Con:- 
Miss McClintock and Miss 
Knowlton are agents for this doll, this 
summer, as well as for the Hougbton 
Raised Picture Puzzle, a unique article 
of interest to the seeing as well as the 
blind.
