been well supported by the weaving industry con-
ducted by Mrs. Joseph King. The Windermere
class again showed their excellent silks and
mixtures of silk and linen, as beautiful in colour
as in texture and surface. Under the enterprising
leadership of Miss Mabel Hill, the Llandaff
spinners, weavers, and dyers have been making
some delightful experiments with vegetable pig-

spuns are highly satisfactory both in appearance
and wear. These, like most of the textile workers,
are under the "developed industries" section,
that is, of persons actually living by the handicraft.

In a final survey of the exhibition, it is often
difficult to divide our sympathies between those
who are thus striving to keep the work on pro-
fessional lines, and those, on the other hand, who
approach it mainly as a recreation from widely
different pursuits, and find in it a profitable hobby.
