For Beginners in Needlework.

Teachers' List.
We have prepared a list, which includes many of the best teachers throughout the United States, and to any of our readers desiring instruction in Art Needlework we shall be glad to recommend a competent teacher in your city or vicinity, qualified to give lessons to private pupils and to classes. Often-times where there is no teacher in a town one will be glad to come from a neighboring city if a small class can be formed so as to make it an object for the teacher. In this way the expense to each member of the class would be comparatively small.
