beautiful quilts displayed at fair london exposition has num ber of striking entries from womens institutes a writer visiting the western fair held iu loudon ontario sas perhaps more than anything else in this particular section the visitor was impressed with tho number variety and beauty ot the bed quilts ou display what a revival there has been in the past two years ot this par ticular line ot womens work a few years ago the crocheted and knitted bedspread was the thing but now its the pieced quilt desigu that is the vogue there was a time when some ot the former composed of tiny pieces sewed together iu intricate patterns savored of having once occupied an honored place in grandmothers hope chest but not so with the quilts on exhibition in recent years these are crisp and new and with all their in numerable pieces and fine quilting are as modern in appearance as the women who so skillfully fashioned them in addition to the many beautiful entries in the regular display much admiration was bestowed upon those shown by the branches of the womens institute in this section the judges must have had a difficult task to choose the winning quilt a design of mauve tulips applied on white with a graceful border ot shades ot green others that must have followed close ly in the number ot points were a dresden plate on a pale green ground and a butterfly design outliued in black on a pale pink ground another class of womens work that has seen a great revival in the past few years is the making of hooked and crocheted floor and bathmats such beauties as we saw at the fair smooth even compact in wellchosen nicely bleuded colors the whole bidding fair to outshine many of the boughten mats in our opinion then there were the samplers shades of our grand mothers these must be returning to favor too for indeed we noted quite a number of entries beautifully worked in colors and nicely trimmed one most intricate design bore a description of the many stitches that comprised its makeup there were 34 separate stitches in all including everything from honeycomb to one known as smalltrail the silhouettes iu black and white crossstitch with neat little black frames appealed par ticularly john a machray j dies in prison marriage preferred by brainiest women london that the brainiest women prefer marriage is one conclusion drawn from the announcement that of 12 women entering the examination for the highest class in the civil ser vice not one was successful this examination is the stiftest in the civil service but it is no harder than the oxford final schools or the cambridge tripos examinations where women prove proportionately as suc cessful as men but heres the sticker candidates for the civil service examination must be either unmarried or widows and they are required to resign any ap pointment on marriage apparently these stipulations baulked the women cleverest at examinations once leading figure in west ern canada served one year winnipeg oct 5
