There is much that is original and unique in the display. Silk manufactured from the cocoons of worms grown and foster. ed in Rissington is surely a novelty, but there are many others. A taste. fully shapéd hat with trimmings, in which many points of fashion were combined with a tasteful exhibition of millinery, but when*tt was explain- ed that all the trimmings were made up from old socks surprise took al. most sceptical form. As the institute Is still in its infancy one is lafi in wonder as to what new uses the old sock may be applied to in the future. A sample of weaving and spinning was displayed in a roll of tweed about seven yards long and woven in four colours. All the work in pro- ducing this tweed in sninning and weaving was done, and very credit- ably, by Rissington women. Cushions woven on the table loom were beau- tifully finished, and slippers made {rom dressed rabhit-skins gave pro- mise of ease and fireside effects. Hand-spun Jumpers, hand-made beads, leather work, embroidery, all of excellent finish were displayed and a lady's hat made from paper was an adornment in which the ma. terial of its manufacture was well concealed. An 'unfinished mat of goat's hair was a remarkable bit of work and cushions made from old stockings only serve to emphasize the skill of the women who make up the institute and to draw attention to the ingenious uses to which old gar ments hitherto relegated to the scrap heap may be adapted." a -- - The Wild Briar Rose. I found a tiny wilding Among my garden flowers A seedling rose with scented leaves Impearled with summer showers, I-placed 1t in my window, Where now it lives and grows As much at home, as well content As any flower that blows, It neighbors with begoniag . Geraniums and such, To me tis dearer than the rest, Although I love them much. And why? The subtle perfume Exhaled from hour to hour, Is like a breath of far-off fields, With-youth in perfect flower, New fragrances may greet me. Along life's sunny track, But none so magical and rare, As those that call me back.. To June days full of sunshine And freedom om the hills, Where I companioned with the birds And blossoms by the rills, Old scents, old songs, old friendships Old loves, old dreams it knows; And that is why 'tis passing dear-- My wilding briar rose. --LILIAN LEVERIDGE.
