Arizona republican., 1917-11-14

in many ways The flag design Is shown in face embroidery and woven bits. A special prize was awarded Mrs. Kathryn Haughtelin of Yuma for crocheted flag made and exhibited by her at the Yuma County Fair where she also was given a premium.
 Perhaps the most novel exhibit Is the dress made by Hopi Indian that is literally direct from the sheep. The wool was spun in the Hopi village where the young girl made her gown on the loom just as the Navajo rug Is woven. 4 sleeveless garment Of dark blue with self color border beautifully designed, it has whip cord trimming of red aNi green. A handsomely woven sash of the brilliant colors pleasing to the tribe is worn with the costume and was also manufactured by the maker Of the froclS.
 Replica of Church Shown
 Another interesting exhibit is the quilt by the First Christian church. ln the center of the white cloth is a rep lica Of the church now in the course of construction, outlined in scarlet. Surrounding this are the names of Governor Thomas E. Campbell and other state and county officers and leading men and women of the county numbering in all l273. The autographs outlined to correspond with the center motif netted the church $221.19.
 In the quilt department are many artistic examples of woman's needle work and In addition to those entered for competition are the leon displays. Mrs. H. DeF'ries of Glendale has loaned a Hawaiian bark cloth that is out Of the ordinary featuring as 1t does the royal emblem of the king in scarlet. An ancient Kapa cloth owned by Mrs. De Fries is in the collection which also contain quilt made by the natives of the islands 35 years ago and Is in much the same order as our own quilts. The largest bunch of ostrich feathers ever taken from a female bird was loaned by A. E. Russell who procured the wonderful white feathers in Africa. Something quite new in the way or trays is shown in an exquisite Navajo. The finely oven bit Is covered in glass and the mounting and handles are of mahogany.
 These and many more are the fea- l lures in the department which is noted for its plain sewing as well as its laces embroideries and knitting. There are specimens of hand made and machine made lingerie as fine as is seen in the French shops and there is alarming to show women as proficient in the "ev- | cry day. as they are in the more ap- pealing arts. In practically every class there were entries by Indian etrls and not few of the awards went to these clever native daughters.
 Beautiful Baby Outfit
 Mrs Fred Gregg (Elsie Muuger) has as usual, won the blue ribbon for many of her displays and exhibits. Her needlework has become feature to this department and every year the visitor in the domestic art building looks first for her beautiful work, al ways new and always more attractive. Her own baby's outfit is being shown this season and is perfectly fascinat- ing in it's beauty. She has other ar ticles in the wall cases, charming luncheon sets and other embroidered linens.
 Another whose work is always sought by the discerning in things of this kind, is that of Mrs. Clay Parker. Fflet crochet, is especially featured in her display which included many branches of needlework.
 Among the dainty novelties the budoir slippers made oy Mrs. A. R. Cater take a foremost place. Knitted of blue and white silk with a touch of pink here and there. they are most at tractive. The rosettes are finished with pale pink roses.
 School Girl Wins Prize
 Children have contributed their Lit to the department and it fell to a young school girl, Miss Dolly Franklin, daughter of Chief Justice and Mrs. Alfred Franklin. to secure the first | prize for cross stitch. By far the fin est specimen Miss Franklin's work has attracted wide attention. In color and design 1t also is worthy of the notice it has created.
 Under the direction of Mrs. Smurth- waite the entire display room was re- modelled and is fitting show place for the handiwork it holds. She ex- pressed herself well pleased with the exhibit and the cooperation she has received from the women of Arizona
 T am especially proud of the fact that it is strictly an Arizona exhibit, she said yesterday. "The women have generously contributed their work and according to our judges it is the best that has ever been snown here"
