Having been honored by the
Fair Association by the appoint
ment at head of the Fancy Work
Department of our County Fair, 1
take this opportunity of asking the
co-operation of everv woman who
reads The Post-Dispatch. Last fall
the woman who sold patent embroid
ery needles near the door said to
me: Considering the beautiful
homes and the evidences of prosper
ity and comfort I see in this com
munity I am very much surprised
at the meager show in the needle
work department, ladies who live
in such homes are usually proud to
decorate them with their own handi
work." It is true that only two
classes of people ought to own
"fancy-work" those who have the
skill and taste and patience to do
it and those who are able to pay for
the enormous amount of work in
volved in the creation of even' a
simple piece of embroidery or any
other handicraft. It is also line
that the pleasure of doing fancy
work does not consist in the paltry
"prize" it may win at some exhibi
tion, hut in actually doing the work.
To take some thread and a tiny
piece of steel and create an article
of beauty and value which may he
an "heirloom" tor several genera
tions, ranks with the skill or the
sculptor who sees the statue In the
block of marble and whose fingers I
ache to set it free, or the genius of
the musician who takes the eight1
notes of the octave and weaves from
them the, symphonies that move the
world. Needlework certainly may
compare well with painting since
both utilize the marvellous colors
of the sunset. And then the com
fort and pleasure and restfulncsa of
it, to drop down in a comfortable
chair and give ones weary feel a
breathing spell, lo forget tiie kitchen j
stoye and the dinner, io lay aside;
ijroom and dust cloth
chickens and the children go hang
awhile, why it restores one's soul
and gives strength ami sweetness
io one's character. And then, girls,
as a promoter of matrimony
there is nothing to heat a piece of
sewing, a warm fire and lamn high
shining on smooth brow and rip
pling hair. Nothing heats it, unless
you ca;i get him to read poetrv to
vou while you sew, read in a lew
masculine voice as sad as wind
among the pines and as persuasive
as a mocking bird's call to his rnte,
you need do nothing but sew,
glancing up now and then and ask
ing him to repeat some line or other
like
"I could not love thee, dear so
much
Loved I not honor more"
and all the while he planning
your wedding gown
But there I'm giving away trade
secrets and what I want is to arouse
an interest in needle work anil
have a wonderful exhibition nc.t
fall at our Countv Fair. If you do
hot know exactly what lo make
write to Modern Priscilla. or the
Ladies Home Journal or the Wom
an's Home Companion and for ten
cents they will give you all neces
sary ideas, colors and designs.
Make bed spreads, bureau and table
covers, and runners, sweaters for
women and children, dresses and
aprons, make specimens of button
holes and darned hose. Use as far
as possible products of North Caro
lina. Make baskets, sandwich trays,
fruit bowls out of our long leaf pine
needles and wire-grass. Start right
now, it takes time to do a hand
some piece of needle work. If you
would drop me a card saying that
