Samplers by Old New England's Prim Young Misses Are Shown in Thayer Museum Collection
A collection of about twenty American and English displays is displayed on the second floor of the Thayer museum. Most of these were wrought by prim young misses of old New York children, early nineteenth centuries. All of the samplers are quantily beautiful and the perfection of the designs made of small even stitches cannot help but evoke intrigue and admiration. The makers were little girls between seven and twelve years of age. Some of them are ladricous in the incongruity of their design. One small yil paint snippet from the masters' cannish in crest stitch. The conception of a bird flying overhead, would have been quite good, had it not been so huge as to detract from the impression of the temple. Another sampler had a house and a pot of flowers identical with the
Youthful Betty Evans depicted on her sampler the story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaiah to the most minute detail, a fact shown. The best specimen in the
German Club Presents One Act Farce Friday in Green Hall Theater
Cast to Be Given Picnic Supper at Engelheim by Members of German Staff.
"Der Mauler als Suedenlock," no one-act fare, was presented by the German Club, in the theater of Greenwich Village. It was written by Roderick Bendix, a writer of comedies abounding in surprises and humorous situations. Dr. M. Kast of the department of Ger-
many directed and supervised the production.
The scene of the play was a fair in Leipzig, Germany, at which Gottlieb Mueller, portrayed by Bernard Bloch, c28, a prosperous manufacturer of tinware from Berlin, is in the city on business. He has also arranged for the film to be acted by Irwin Friedrich, c28, a young widow who has been recommended by his cousin as eligible for marriage. They discuss arrangements for the match in the hotel lobby, where they are interrupted by many annoying guests. The film accuses Mueller of having demolished furniture the previous evening in a drunken brawl at his tavern. Then comes a milliner delivering a hat which she says has been ordered by Mr. Mueller for his fiancee. The girl who does not hear Johnson, c30, Jauge, the bell boy, played by Freeland Penny, c29, delivers a large photograph which he says Mr. Mueller has had taken with the intention of presenting to a young lady. Lyda Sulaer, c27, as Katherine, he comes to keep an appointment. Mr. Mueller shows that she says she is engaged.
Next comes Villiam K. Cornell, c'27, as a detective who survives a summons to Mueller for unpaid debts. The play ends with the disclosure that two Muellers of similar names and indeed identical social status and the Mueller of the play had been mistaken for the other. After much explaining the widow gives her consent to the marriage. Others who acted in the play were Crimence Dimmock, c'28, as Hauser the peddlers, with Hacee Freese, c'27, as Barber the harrier.

Thayer collection is a twenty line poem worked in cross stitch on the finest linen. It is the achievement of Heinie谣木, seven years old.
Borders of design enclosing the rest of the sampler in a frame of verse was the favorite means of displaying needlework skill. Crowns were used a great deal during the Tudor period, probably in honor of that house. The crown was soldmployed in English work in Istanbul made great use of it.
The sampler had crossed the Atlantic with the Puriants and Pilgrims. The tapestry pictures, which were the height of fashion in England at that time, had too much of the deprived royalist air to belong in the homes of New England. The sampler with text and stern mortalizing was heartily approved. Ann Grover, the widow sampler of her brother with her wife when she crossed the Atlantic. A sampler made by Lerra Standish, daughter of Miles Standish, hangs in Pilgrim hall at Plymouth, Mass.
