odists, 82; Catholic, 16; Presby
terians, 12; Lutheran, 8; Episcopal
ian, 5; Hebrew, 2; Congregational
and Univeraalist one each. One hun

of the most expert needlcworkers in the world.
Your journey, if you continued your search for beautiful and
worth-while things for yourself and your home, would lead you
to Belfast for linen; to Switzerland for fine lace; to Constanti
nople for shimmerv, soft, exquisitely colored oriental rugs; to
the Philippines for dainty hand-made lingerie, then to Japan
for pretty, embroidered negligees.
Imagine. the. expense and time such a journey would take!

things as the markets of the world provide. They are brought
