1 Versailles Embroidery | ❖ 6 2 Commemorating tbe Croat peace of 1910. * o ❖ o ❖ o ❖ o ♦> O ❖ o ❖ , o ❖ o ❖ o ❖ o ❖ o ❖ rs O ❖ o o o ❖ o ❖ 9 ❖ o ❖ o ♦:* o *> o *:» o From time immemorial, from the period of the ancient Creeks and Romans. Jiistorici.il events have keen commemorated in Embroidery. What, therefore, could he more appropriate than that the Great Peace of 1919 should thus be commemorated. To do this, appropriate designs and colour schemes have to be devised that will in some way embody the idea of Peace. The Dove is emblematic of Peace, and Dove colour is the French Grey which was so popular in France at the court of Louis XIV. The Embroidery, therefore, is worked in Dove col&ur-or French Grey, on a white ground. The effect is so tasteful and delicate that it can only be adequately described by the French word “chic.” Then for designs, what could be more appropriate than the rose, of England and the cornflower of-France, the floral emblems of the two nations which have borne the greatest burden of the war. Versailles Embroidery is eminently suitable for Wedding Gifts. Here are charming and exclusive examples at moderate prices.
