It may bo an owlish prophesy , but the
chances are that some of the pieces of fancy
work only seen op high days , holidays
, uud at Kensington teas will have
grown out of fashion at least ,
before they ure completed However , there
Is nothing prettier than a lot of women with
gold thimbles on their carefully tended

their thoughts flying with their needles
