TELEMACHUS PENELOPE
DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO THE QUEEN.
THE QUEEN.
Your Majesty’s most gracious acceptance of the Dedication of my book on “Needlework as Art” casts a light upon the subject that shows its worthiness, and my inability to do it justice. Still, I hope I may fill a gap in the artistic literature of our day, and I venture to lay my work at your Majesty’s feet with loyal devotion.
MARIAN M. ALFORD.
