THE LADY’S
Bazaar & Fancy-fair Book
With 364 Illustrations.
Containing Suggestions upon the getting-up of Bazaars, and Instructions for making Articles in Embroidery, Cane-work, Crochet, Knitting, Netting, Tatting, Rustic-work and Cone-work; also Directions for making Skeleton Leaves, Phantom Bouquets, and for Painting on Ivory, China, Whitewood, Tapestry, and Terra-cotta.
The fashion of raising money for charitable purposes by means of Bazaars and Fancy Fairs is not only an established institution in this country, but is decidedly on the increase. The consequence is that there is a persistent demand for something new, both in the mode of preparing the Stalls and in the style of Article to be sold. Ingenuity and originality are severely taxed in the effort to produce something different from the ordinary monotonous line of Pincushions, Antimacassars, and Tennis-aprons. It is with a view of assisting those who desire to strike out Novelties in this direction that The Lady’s Bazaar and Fancy-Fair Book has been compiled.
