They were all very much interested in the exhibition Mid were surprised at the accomplishments of the girls. There were about eighty-five garments exhibited. These were the work of the three classes and included the woolen dresses and the made over garments of the sewing II class. Also there were silverware cases, which were the. first problem to be made this year by the sewing I class. A large display of stocking^ which had been darned by members cf this class were on exhibition. Our notebooks were out for inspection. In these notebooks an outline of each garment is kept, with a picture and sample of the material and trimming used. On each -garment exhibited was a card telling the total tost and the time required to make it. If these cards were examined the great difference in price would be noticed between ready made garments and those made by the sewing classes. We intend to have another exhibit in the spring and hope the people will turn out as well and be as well pleased with our work as they were last Frithe day. Perhaps this will come aa an unexpected delight to some of'the mothers. For a montfa^ the girls in sewing I are required to dam stockings for at least three members of their family. After four weeks a report is to be turned in.
