Former Queens of Eng-
land, whose names are well
known as needle -women,
Catherine of Aragon,
the first wife of Henry the
Eighth who,, is said to have
taught lace and embroidery
to the women of Bucking-
hamshire while detained
there pending divorce pro,-
ceedings. No doubt she im-
parted some of the traditions •
and designs of her homeland,
Spain,- certainly some of the
techniques, as she kept quite
a retinue of her ladies-in-
waiting.
Mary Queen of Scots, who
was for a while in the cus-
tody of Elizabeth, Countess
of Shrewsbury, herself a
famous embroideress and
chatelaine of Hardwick Hall
in Derbyshire. The collection
at Hardwick is well known.
The two ladies must have
worked together, as some
pieces bear the initials.
"E.S" while others are
marked Maria or M with a
crown.
One design carried out in
petit point has a design.com-
posed of the Scottish thistle,
English rose and French lily,
with a small pictorial scene
in the centre. These were
sometimes copied from con•
• temporary books of fables.
There are other pieces with
similar patterns in roundels
cut out and applied to var-
ious materials, including

It is recorded that when
Mary `Oueen of Scots was

She is said to have studied

while there tcrhave employ-

With the evolution of furni-

time to make, the furniture
usually left the workrooms
covered with a contempor-
ary woven material, which
has sometimes been found
under the needlework when
this was removed for clean-

Let's
Talk
By REV. LEE TRUMAN
The peace
of silence
I know a man in his late
50s with such a quiet calm
about him that every time
I am near him he gives me
a feeling of peace. I asked
him to go with me to lunch
just so that I could ask him
one question.
"Pete, how in your world
of pressure, being rushed
and dealing with hurried
people, do you keep such
an evenness of disposi-
tion?"
"I have been asked that
before," he said. "I don't
think the answer I give is
one people want to hear. It
is two words - prayer and
silence. These two are the
greatest answer there is
for me."
I responded, "You mean
prayer, don't you, Pete?"
He looked at me and
then said, "Not only pray-
er, Lee; I mean that I have
learned to be silent."
"How do you make this
silence work fory ou?" I
asked.
"I simply enjoy it," he
said with a smile. "Usually
the senses are pouring in so
much stimulus that to sort
out all the sight and sound
occupies most of our ener-
gy. When I sit down in si-
lence now and then and
hold the outside world at
arm's length, it lets my
mind be free."
"You mean that what
you do is sit and think?" I
queried.
"No, that's not it exact-
ly;" Pete said. "You see,.
thinking and using words
are an echo of sound. What
I mean is to turin your mind
from all outside activity so
that in a sense there is
nothing there but the real
person you are."
"What comes to you
when you do this?" I asked.
"If I put it into words I
would say peace or maybe
I could use the word 're-
pose.' I find power for
myself in that kind of si-
lence. I can't really de-
scribe it. The only answer
is for • you to try it your-
self."
It wasn't easy at first be-
cause I am busy, and when
I am quiet and by myself I
find myself using words to
pray,plan or review. But
now I would not trade this
practice of being quiet for
anything else I could use
the time for.
I have been surprised to
learn how many others
practice just being silent.
Many businessmen close
the door in their offices
and program a few min-
utes each day for silence.
They say that this takes
away the strain like noth-
ing else.
What is this wonderful
power of silence?
I think it may be the
other side of the coin of
praying. It may be that we
scatter our energies and
mental forces so much that
they become self -cancel-
ing, and sometimes it's a
matter of gaining a new
sense of being.
It might be the truth of
Samuel Miller Hagemen's
sentence, "To be alone with
silence is to be alone with
God." It might be the psal-
mist's insight when he
wrote, "Be still and know
that I am God." Or the
prophet's wisdom when he
offered, "In quietness shall
be your strength."
But as my friend said,
the only way to know the
peace this brings is to try it
yourself.

Your
Handwriting
Tells
By DOROTHY
ST. JOHN JACKSON
Certified Master
Graphoanalyst
Dear Dorothy:, I have a
new job and I am afraid I
will not live up to the com-
pany's expectations. It's a
secretarial job and so
much accuracy is required.
It makes me nervous, too,
that I can't get everything
done each day. - J.H.
Dear J.H.: Nobody's day
is long enough to get it all
done, so you're not nervous
alone.
A little introspection is
what you need, so let's ana-
lyze your problem.
You're basically an orga-
nized, detail -minded per-
son, seen in the balanced f
and closely dotted i's.
But it's your nature to be
negative. You feel that
chances are against you,
seen in the consistent
drooping word endings.
Such negativism has
caused you to underesti-
mate your abilities.
You fair to see your po-
tential or set your goals be-
cause of your obvious in-
security, seen in the low t
crossing.
In your human desire for
acceptance, you feel you
have to be perfect, indicat-
ed in your precisely con-
structed strokes. But you
are pushing the wrong set
of thoughts. Nobody's per-
fect and not expected to be.
So you're trying to accom-
plish the impossible.
Graphoanalytically, it is
quite easy to see your
problem, but the answer
must come through you.
You've' plenty . of accuracy
to give to your company
but a mighty block is
lodged against your ego.
You'll have to stock a
whole new set of thoughts
to stack your "cans"
against your "can'ts," and
your gains against your
losses.
Only then can you re-
move, the block.
