Miss H. Hall, of East Marshjfield, contributed very much to 

 the pleasure of the public by bringing so many pretty speci- 

 mens of her handiwork ; a brass plaque with fleur-de-lis painted 

 on it, was very effective ; another plaque had a lovely spray of 

 Easter-lilies ; a plush banner; two china vases, one a black- 

 berry design, the other a head; a pretty table scarf, and two 

 paper lamp shades which were ornamental as well as useful. 



Miss F. A. Hall, of East Marshfield, had a screen panel of 

 embossed plush outlined with tinsel which puzzled the casual 

 observer,-by bringing out such a variety of shades in the mate-

Miss Helen M. Henry exhibited three oil paintings of flow-

 and asters were the subjects and were very natural. 



Two oil paintings of Miss Alice E. Alden, of Marshfield,

 memory. 



Miss Jennie M. Carpenter, of Middleboro, also had two oil 

 paintings, one of peaches, which were rivals of some in the 

 fruit department; the other a view of mountains and valleys. 



Miss Eleanor A. Richards, of Marshfield, exhibited two 

 crayon portraits, very finely done, and her charcoal of the 

 roguish colored boy was true to life, . 



Miss Belle Sheldon, of Duxbury, had a pretty little study 

 done in oil, of deer at the water's edge with hills beyond. 



Miss Mary Dyer, of Plymouth, had an oval plaque of tinted

blossoms, painted in water colors was very natural and pleasing. 



Miss O. R. Sampson, of Duxbury, also had magnolia blos-
