Flourishing Art Of The Countryside.
One of the most fourishing arts
of the countryside is needlework. That Is the discovery made by Lady Hyltán and her colleagues in En- organising the, exhibition of glish Needlework, which was held last month the residence of the late Princess Royal, at 15, Part- man-xquare,
Two of the counties producing some of the finest needlewomen of the day are
