clay, modelled and painted by herself, which were very curious, 

 and with the rofees and daisies showed much ingenuity and 

 talent. 



Of course, there was no chance to arrange these, as artists 

 like to, who talk about the symphony of color, but the col- 

 lection added very much to the beauty of the hall, mixed in, 

 with the Kensington work, among which was a lambrequin 

 made by Mrs. R. W. Cobb, of Kingston, which was worthy of

 Mexican embroidery, which was very pretty. The afghau 

 family was well represented. A sofa afghan made by Miss 

 Fannie H. Barstow, of North Pembroke, was very handsome, 

 both on account of the good arrangement of the colors and the
