ments given in KeytesvilIe for many
moons was that Of the Embroidery

doilies, mats, pincushions. sofa pillows,
head rests, handkerchiefs, etc. and
represented all kinds of embroidery
and drawn work Of the most difficult
and artistic patterns. The display
was, indeed, highly creditable to the
members of the club and was a pleas

sex.
