There were several very pretty or useful toilet-sets. Miss 

 Lyclia W. Collamore and Miss L. J. Goodwin, of North Pem- 

 broke, exhibited two different styles, with various other articles 

 to complete the list. 



Mrs. Fred R. Winsor, of Island Creek, contributed a pretty 

 table scarf, with fuchsias in Kensington. Mrs. G. H. Carver 

 also had a table cover, with sumach, golden rod and leaves, in 

 the same stitch. Miss Ella Pliillips, of Brooklyn, N. Y., sent a 

 shoulder cape, crocheted, with ribbon run in, which was very 

 neat. A needle case from Mrs. Henry Turner, revived an old 

 style. Mrs. R. T. Carver, of East Marshfield, had some very 

 neatly done pillow shams, hemstitched. Mrs. Walton Hall 

 contributed pillow shams of lace, and child's dress made of rick- 

 rack, which were very pretty. 



Three baskets of paper flowers showed the skill and indus- 

 try of Mrs. Nathan Howard, of North Pembroke. We missed 

 the work of many who have contributed in the past, but trust 

 they have only reserved their forces for another year. 



If the sixty -nine contributors, of the one hundred and four- 

 teen articles, will consider how time flies, and how soon "Fair 

 time" will come again, they will at once commence the speci- 

 mens of their taste and skill. 



The success of 1884 must give fresh courage to the mem- 

 bers of the Society, and if all will lend their aid, the display in 

 Ihe Hall will lead from "better up to best."
