Lesson 49 



WOVEN PICTURES 



VERY many years ago, in some of the countries 

 across the ocean, the men and women were 

 called knights and ladies. When the knights did 

 brave things in hunting or in war, the ladies used 

 to weave by hand or embroider, in bright colors, 

 pictures telling about these deeds. These fabrics 

 were hung on the castle walls, and are called 

 tapestry. Beautiful pieces of tapestry have been 

 brought to this country and you may some day 

 see some of them. 



Write the story of any deed that you think worth 

 weaving into a tapestry picture. 



Remember to use capital letters correctly in writing titles, the first 

 word in every sentence, and the name of a person. If you write the 

 name of a place, remember that it should begin witli a capital letter. 



If possible, have the class visit some large store to see carpets, rugs, and 

 draperies. 



Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 



'Tis only noble to be good. 



Kind hearts are more than coronets, 



And simple faith than Norman blood. 



Alfred Lord Tennyson.
