 flowers from Eoy Hayward, of Brockton, showed what a little 

 lame boy can do with his hands. Lilian McClellan, of Hanson, 

 also brought knit and crochet work deserving of mention. A 

 pretty chair scarf, also knit and crochet skirts, by three misses 

 from " Marshfield Hills," made us wish we could retain such 

 workers as these in our department, but the passing years 

 soon take them from our ranks, leaving vacant places to be
