Mrs. John Pierce, Mrs. q. Hiram
Heald and Mrs. Il. P. Hammond had
the fancy work to look after. Really
IL is too bad to ask an "old bach" to
describe this, az he can never do 1t JUS
tice. To say that the people responded
to the call of the committee is putting 1t
mild. The patchwork quilts and cover.
lids were big show in themselves.
Miss DR.. Houghton's exhibit Of fax
from the card to knitted lace attracted
much attention.
An infants dress and cap 100 years
old, made for j. Hooper Jackson, father
of Mrs. d. P. Hammond, was big at
traction. Mr.. Jackson was born Sept.
10, 1920, and lived his whole life 10
Paris.
Several Paisley shawls were shown,
one handmade, owned by Miss JEANNE
Hubbard.
The knapsack and equipment used By
John Pierce In the civil war was of great
interest.
Mrs. Carlson brought very interest
ing exhibit of Chinese articles.
The display of fancy work was very
large and elaborate. There were great
number of interesting antiques. II
Paris Hill had been working longer for
this event, the display would have re.
quired both floors of the Academy.
The attendance was large.
Mrs. Newton A. Cummings planned
and worked up the interest for this fair
from ideas she got at the teachers
Plattsburg held at Castine this summer.
She deserves q vote of thanks for the
time and work she has put into 1t, and
the ladies of the committees will share
with her the glory of work we'll done
Now all together for next year.
