A Fine Piece of Work.

Among the many beautiful exhibits of embroidery in the Woman’s building there is nothing more interesting than a handkerchief made for Mary Antoinette. It is on the finest of lawn and the embroidery was done with the aid of a microscope, two of the workwomen losing their sight while working upon it. The design is of the chase, huntsmen, hounds and game being brought out with wonderful regard to detail and effect.
