Handicraft sets a
good example in the
exhibition it held to-

Various kinds of work
in metal, embroidery,
wood, glass, paint-

iron, is nearly extinct. They
have left behind them many
memorials of their handiwork,
visible to-day in church,
churchyard, manor-house and
cottage. We should welcome
all influences which may tend
to revive these ancient arts.
