OF the textile fabrics embroidery and sim
liar work, we have no space left TO speak In
detail, We regret this for tho phenomenal
quilts, the artistic Tides ind other wonders OF
this department are well worthy Of review
In detail. We will try and get time to give
them their deserts hereafter.

OF special article and It would be unjust TO

another Issue,
