contributions by members. One of the most
effective pieces was a circular nursery
panel by Mary Alison with a brown owl as a
centre and the surrounding decoration in
purple, green and red. An effective nursery
portiere by Penelope Beaton showed fairy
figures disporting themselves on a blue
background above brilliantly coloured
fungi and daisies ; and among other
notable exhibits were Margaret Barclay’s
bedspread with its circular floral design in
green, gold and blue, Gladys A. Wyllie’s
“ Goose-man ” pram cover in applique with
orange and black as the leading colours, and
her Tutankhamen visitors’ book with two
Egyptian figures; Dorothy Angus’s
applique cushion with a grey dove as a
centre piece and a circular design in red,
blue and gold on a black base; Mrs.
Umpherston’s dove grey bedspread of
eighteenth century design worked out in
blue and flame colour ; and Helen Gorrie's
cot cover with arboreal features. There was
also some exceedingly fine ecclesiastical
work, such as Gladys A. Wyllie’s reredos
with angelic figures, olive on purple, a
beautiful altar cloth and festal vestments
by the Glasgow Guild for Church Embroi-
dery, a panel of cloth of gold exquisitely
sewn in gold thread by Beatrice Chilton,
a beautiful sampler by Christina Powrie of
the Edinburgh College of Art, and a
charmingly designed sampler in gold
thread by Louie M. Chart, which for the
excellence of its technique was the piece de
resistance. A. E.
