_ Knigjits ridiijg- g&Hantly are the theme of one of the new ,designs on Frelon fabrics, which are ,of fine soft wool, beautiful to touch. Fngland's heraldry was stpdied by artists for the detaih both of tjiis and l$ndred Old English designs — ^there was real pageantry in the days when knights were bold— and Jiberal use is made of anthentic period costnme and detail taken from the history of Merrie England. - The cofours, g'lowing and gay, were inspired by the stainedglass windows in cathed^als of 'Eng'land,
The patt.erns are tiand-screen prjnted. Other prjnts turned out by Thos. Pr.ederick and Co., Ltd., of Manchester — "Dancin.g Deer," "Musj..c" and 'VScofctie" (a wee Seottfe dog inhnjtely repeated) for instance— ai;e roller-prlnted and gparanteed w.ashable. Thes.e cost l.ess than the hand-screened prjnted materials. Another of the patfcerns is based most accurately on the. Paisley shawl; and there is an amusing one named "Suburbia" Whi,ch shows on a nigger-brown background the tiniest yellow houses ■with one window and one chimney' and, bet-ween these, trees with one flower. — Recorder.
