Women Going Back to Their
Needles.

There seems to be a revival of
interest in needlework as an art.
The Ladies' Home Journal asked
for photographs of sofa pillows, and
the response to the request was al
most observation-disclosures liter
ally pouring in. The judges who
awarded the prizes for the best ex-
amples of this variety of needlework
were greatly surprised at the artistic
excellence Of most of the specimens
offered. Better work, and appar-
emily very much more work, is be-
ing dore with the needle than ever
before. The Journal will have
several pages showing fifty of the
best of these sofa pillows.
