An introductory 1902 magazine article on basketry as a modern craft for women, covering its uses, income possibilities, and value in manual training. It describes the main materials (rattan, raffia, flat and braided rush), basic tools, and basic weaves: under-and-over, double, pairing, and triple twist. Step-by-step instructions are given for a knotted raffia work bag, a round mat with open border No. 1, and a small candy basket with rounding sides and open border No. 2, illustrated with line drawings. The article is the first part of a series and ends with "To be continued."
