ART NEEDLEWORK.

son, who will be in Cairo next week.
Ladies of artistic tastes and abundant
leisure have had most refined and ele-
waiting occupation the last few weeks. Miss
Davidson, the needlework artist whose fame
is co-extensive with the United States and
Canada, was induced by Mrs. Edward Ran
ney TO leave st. Louis for q brief season,
and instruct class here, in embroidery in
its highest phases of development. The
results have surprised, not only her pupils
but their friends. The work, both in Ar
rasene and Kensington is exquisite in do
sign, execution and coloring, "Stitch!
stitch stitch!" has been elevated from the
drudgery described by the poet, to worthy
place beside the achievements of brush
and pencil. Miss Davidsons embroidery
has received most fattering notices from
the press of New York and Washington,
and the samples of her skill which she
brought with her, cause US to endorse their
statements. One of Der handsomest ban
ners is of black satin embroidered with
wild roses and leaves in natural colors and
mounted and fringed with gold. A hand
some table scarf is of cardinal and old gold
plush, embroidered with the shaded leaves
and rich velvety flowers Of the cockscomb.
Her larger pieces of work, such as the cele-
brated curtains embroidered with corn and
pumpkins, it was, of course, impossible to
bring with her.

pills, has done some lovely work on satin.
Among her best pieces is banner with q
stately stork as center piece, and leaves,
lilies and water as accessories.

eral dresses for her little friends, ex-
qusltely.
