Sheffield are engaged in the work
and the rugs are on sale in New
York, ST Louis, Chicago and other
large cities as well as in many sum-
mer places. There is a growing de-
mand for the "hook-in' rug and
the wonderfully lovely color scale
worked out by Mrs. Titcomb and
her daughter result in rugs of ar
tistic beauty Miss Titcomb after
completing school studied abroad a
year specializing in color values.
Tuesday afternoons meeting at
Athenaeum hall was in charge of
Art committee, Miss Mary Ide,
chairman and in presenting the
former st. Johnsbury woman, a
teacher of art in the academy and
public schools, Miss Ide spoke truly
in saying that St. Johnsbury felt
that Mrs. Titcomb belonged to US.
The club rose as the speaker was
presented. "St. Johnsbury is al
ways home to me-" Mrs. Titcomb
told the club women. Here are
the friends | grew UP with and the
friends who are dearer to me than
all others. My one great regret is
that my children in our constant
moving around will not have eX
periences like mine in coming back
to old home friends"
She began by telling the club
something about her busy life in
her homefactory in Albany where
many rugs are turned out in days
that all too short. Referring to her
subject, "Taste in Dress" it re-
quired courage, she said to speak
on that theme before an audience
of well-dressed women. We spend
all ouor time plviding food, shell
ter and raiment for the body. The
first concern in clothing the body
should be to aid the organs in func-
tioning properly, and to bring out
the greatest beauty of the type.
With pictures and drawings she
illustrated types of faces and lurms
and made suggestions as to how to
dress to best effect, basing the sub
ject on three characteristics, order
proportion and fitness to purpose.
A good way to get correct thing.'
in dress is tostudy old portraits. In
some respects no saner styles than
today ever prevailed, but the old
painters selected styles that fitted
the types. The short skirt of today
has developed pretty style in
shoes but teh speaker added tn :
she had neve seen a high heel that
seemed to support the foot. She
approved of the present mode in
dress, the comfortable gown hang
ing straight from the shoulder Civ
ing freedom and grace. Continu
ing she gave valuable suggestions
regarding proportion and coloring.
Miss Sigrid Eklof of New York
who is at the home of her mother,
Mrs. A. L. Bailey, entertained with
two readings that were charmingly
given, the club sang one of Judge
Statford'S Vermont poems, Mrs |

ment and the rest of the afternoon
was devoted to business and to an
exchange of greetings while the

chairman served tea.
