er shoulders are chosen to create a

They have decided to hold an exhibition, unconnected with charity, during February and March, 1984, of mo- dern English needlework. This ex- hibition is being held in the hope of discovering and encouraging an art that will combine with modern ideas in house decoration and furniture.

One of

the most enthusiastie members of the small committee already at work is Lady Violet Crawley, herself a beautiful needle-: woman, who believes that lasting.
