ing students who are endeavoring to
revive an almost lost art. The lamb
sign for the hosier's business is very
old. and has reference to St. Agnes,
who suffered martyrdom in the year
SO6 when only IA years of age. The
saint has been usually depicted by ar
lists with lamb by her side. In days
when the common people of England
could not read printed signs, the first
man in a town or village to set up
business in yarns and hosiery adopted
the lamb sign. A competitor would
choose the wool pack.
