"When, out of shreds of old woolens one has fringed and crimped
a lamp-mat, from which the globe of flame shall rise as if from a a bed of
moss, one has done something useful; when one has wrought
a vine of the reddened October blackberry wreaths to lay over the
tiny corner shelf that was needed to hold vase or bust, but could
not be afforded of richer wood than the plain unvarnished pine, one has
done something useful; when one has made a rustic frame of twigs and acorns and
cones for the print that never could have been hung on the
tiresome bare wall if it had waited for the costly
frame from the picture dealer, one has done something useful."
