 BEAUTIFUL HANDIwoRK IN THE LA DIES DEPARTMENT.
 The exhibits in the ladies' industrial department, this year, were particu- larly choice, possibly not quite as many pieces as last year. But it was an exhibit which has never been sur passed on Conetia Park. Mrs J. Le- Roy Buck, the chairman of the ladies

Miss Alkaline Buck, as last year, was the efficient secretary of this department, being ably assisted by Miss Edith Warner With Mrs McMahOn as guide THE BEES representative made critical inspection of the work exhibited. The children'S department contained many pretty and choice articles, many pieces showing skill far beyond their years. Mss Gertrude Bolles exhibited dain ty and exquisite sofa pillow cover.

SpOOner of Kent and Mrs Carson Mead of Bridgewater ex- hlblted some fine aSterS and Mrs Ed win Randall of Bridgewater, asters and other flowers.
 The handsomest quilt exhibited in the scribe's opinion was that of Mrs George R. Roots, silk quilt. An applique quilt was much admired. It was owned by Mrs Wells and said to be 50 years old. There was a case of some handsome specimens of hand painted china, Miss May Breinig, Miss Fannie Daniels and Miss Helen Beers being the chief exhibitors. There was an imposing row of sofa pillows, all handsome, and some works of art. The pillow designed and worked by Miss Alice Buck was much admired. One of the finest pieces exhibited was a silk embroidered table cover on linen. It was simply exquisite, the work of Miss Elizabeth Noble. Another very handsome piece was lady's lace col lar, the work of Miss Fannie Daniels A piece of work in Irish embroidery was much admired, the work of Mrs H. B. Bostwick. A table lover in darned work was said by experts to be simply perfect. Miss Elizabeth Noble was the lady who made it. Miss Alice | Buck exhibited a very handsome cen ter piece in darned work In renais- sance and lace work, Mrs Thomas Stack of Still River carried off the honOrs.

A bit of painting on silk, by Mrs Glover Sanford was much ad- mired. Miss Sadie Hatch of Bridge water exhibited a creditable collection of drawings.
 It is d long time since so dainty and handsome an exhibit of furniture, framed pictures, baskets and brio: a-brac has been seen in Exhibition hall as Hoyt X AtchiSon show, this year. The ladies went enthusiastic over the exhibit, and no wonder. The man who selected these goods knew his business, or we are no judge of artistic goods. They showed two very handsome new pieces just gotten out by the Eastern a divan, both elegant pieces of work. The exhibit included sideboards, iron bedsteads and dining chairs. The center exhibit was well arranged and attracted great deal of attention and favOrabl comment.
 Next to the exhibit of Hoyt & Att chison was the tastefully arranged booth of D. McMahon, in charge of his local manager, F. w. Hoffman. The Emerson shoe for men was the central attraction and a large number of styles of fine shoes were ex' hibited. The booth was certainly ar ranged in a very fetching manner. Down near the door MT Hoffman had a display of gentlemen's clothing and some dainty goods in fine neckwear.
