A ve-y interesting exhibition of modern embroideries waft held iii- London recently, illustrating the development gradually taking place in the' needle- j work revival among women, which be- > gan s. year or two ago. says a Londoner. At one time every needle- | woman was anxious to do a piece of i wool tapesty. That was the craze; and biisv needles all followed each other : in producing a, pole screen, the top of | a footstool, or the seat of a’eliair. There I was little originality in the work.
