sheared, by Mrs. A. White, Hanson, were exceedingly pretty, 

 and one by Mrs. F. White, Brockton, had a beautiful border. 



Mrs. Freeman McNayr had the largest drawn rug, which was 

 exceptionally well made. Mrs. Waldo S. Cole, of Kingston, 

 gave us a beautifully designed and made crib-quilt, also a foot 

 quilt of equal beauty. A white spread by Mrs. F. Whitten, 

 Brockton, was very nice. One unusually well-knit, with a very 

 pretty border, was contributed by Mrs. M. P. Hitchcock, East 

 Marshfield. Mrs. S. C. Stetson's spreads were beautiful in all

 pronounced than is usual. It was the work of Mrs. S. W. 

 Lincoln, Quincy. The firmest of all the spreads was one in 

 crochet by Mrs. I. G. Stetson, South Hanson. The few com-

 more useful for Winter than the lighter bed-coverings. Some 

 pretty patchwork covers were displayed. 



Mrs. W. J. Baker, of Pembroke, knit some very fine white

 stockings. It is wonderful that at her age she is able to do any 

 work. They were as well knit as any shown. Mrs. Imogene 

 McClellen's stockings, with toes and heels of contrasting color, 

 were very nicely done. Two pairs of crochet and two pairs of 

 knit mittens were also very nice. Seven pairs of knit wristers 

 in shaded wool, a beautiful crochet skirt, and two undervests 

 were contributed by Mrs. Albert Damon, Hanson. They were 

 truly exquisite. Mrs. Luther Magoun displayed four pairs of 

 wristers very prettily knitted. From the same hand came a 

 very pretty pair cf invalid shoes. We know of nothing more 

 conducive to comfort than these feet coverings: 



Mrs. Caroline Oakman, of North Marshfield, age 79, gave 

 us some beautifully made drawers, apron and pillow-cases, all
