TREASURED TAPESTRY
HALF A CENTURY TO MAKE Just over half a ceutury ago a young Welsh girl, of Aberdovey, Mary Blackwell, began to work on a tapestry copy of a Murillo painting. Years went by and she continued steadily at her work. Romance came into her life, and, together with her young husband she went ot America, and finally settled in Denver. The half-finished tapestry went with her, and all her spare time was given to it. Now grey-haired, Mrs Joseph Harris, as she has become, has at last finishcdl her work. Experts say it is a masterpiece, and rich people have offered her a fortune for it; but Mrs Harris is not parting with her treasure, arid when she passes on it will go to her daughter, to be handed down in the family.
