Heedlework in seeing this work being done
by the lady experts without the aid OF any
extra attachments, and in fact with no at
tachmentS whatever, on the New High-arm
Singer Sewing-machine.
This collection is a very large one, and
one well worth seeing Elegant portieres,
worked with rOpe-silk and gold thread ON
plush; others with COUGHING. rope-silk and
arrasene; the finest EN- embroidered betting
cloth curtains in the celebrated Kensingt0n
stitch, not only equaling but exeelling all
hand-work. from the fact that the work Is
alike on both sides in workmanship and
color; numerous etchings of horses, cows,
dogs, deer and fruit pictures in hand
some frames are displayed on easels, and a
number of stand scarfS, banners, cushions
and draperies are distributed around, max
ing a very rich and tasty display. The doll,
with its fine lawn dress, attracts its full
share of attention. This is a very interest
