Estella Cunnius is particularly skillful in the lat- ter craft. There is much friendly rivalry among the members of this goup in their efforts at ingenuity and skilled craftsmanship. The clubs are making their annual visits to the School Museum and Art Gallery and have been getting a great deal of enjoyment from Mr. Poole's most interesting talks on Some of Our Native Birds. The display of old Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Egyptian embroideries, with Mr. Poole's run- ning comment on native background, and matters of skill and taste on the part of the creators, was of intense- interest to the groups who were granted this privilege.
