Flnisplay 0f . Needlework By llueen Mary Guild

Yesterday afternoon members and friends of the Queen Mary Needlework Guild were invited lo the beautiful, home of the president, Mrs. W. cnester S. Mcmlrc, to see the yearly exhibition of work. The Prince Edward island Pro- testant Orphanage contribution consisted of dresses for girls o1 all ages, underwear, boys suits, pv- Jomas, sweaters for boys and girls, all hand-made by the members anu much valued by the Matron, iviiss Beers

The donations by the members of babies dresses, shawls, miderivenr, bonnets, tray cloths and pillow- slips for Her Majesty's Maternity H""'lli.Ell in Cheshire, together with qiﬁn and sfghans. nli go to the b80195 and small children of sailors, soldiers and airmen, many of whom before gsdng into the Maternity Home have lost their homes and

possessions.

All of the above work has been accomplished since February of this year and reflects credit on the members for the willingness to keep 3:958 two branches of the work g0-

Work for the Prince Edward Is- land Orphanage and for the Queen Mary Maternity Hospital ims been going on for the last 25 years-ever- since the last war.

Of great mtcrest wus the larpc consignment of socks. sweaters, scarves, mitts and seamens stock ings destined for the men of thc Merchant Marine. Every three weeks, all the year round, a large parcel of the above mentioned woollen comforts is packed and sent to the Central Magazine Exchange, Pickford and Blacks Wharf, Hali- fax. Letters of thanks have been received not only from the Can- adlan Magazine Exchange. but from many grateful mcrclmnt sail- ors of many nationalities. Severn] of these report having heel‘. tm~~ pedoed with everything lost, nnrl therefore have found comforts knitted by the members, most ac- ceptable.

It is surprising hmv many of the Guild send in knitting to n ccntrc. which nearly every dav of the vrcck‘ is either receiving knitted comforts or giving out wool to enthusiastic members.
