LONDON.-We give this month three ex-
amples of church embroidery, all admir-
ably worked by Miss Bessie Huggett,
two from designs by Mr. Aymer Vallance,
the other from a drawing by Mr. W. H.
Cowlishaw. The last one (page 49) represents a
frontal cloth for a Rosary Altar. The material is
white satin, and the leaves are in various shades
of green silk with a fringing of gold, to represent
their saw-like edges. The fifteen roses are made
of pink velvet slightly embroidered with orange,
with gold, and with light shades of pink floss CHURCh banner designed by aymer vallance
