A movement is already on foot ia this city to organize a Needlework Guild here, with a branch in each ward. Mrs. Agnes L. d'Arcambal, of Detroit, has consented to come and assist in the organization, and the founders of the movement have also named the woman whom they wish for president, and who is always prominently identified with all charitable interests of the city. The date for permanent organization will be announced as soon as those interested in the project can complete the preliminary arrangements. - Ann Arbor Democrat. The Needlework Guild of Araerica, the purpose of which is to collect new garments and distribute them to hospitals, Homes and similar charities, was organized in 1885, with the bureau in Philadelphia, and from this parent stem have shot forth numerous branches, each branch controling the distribution of its collections, which may be bestowed in any quarter, upon individuals or institutions, as directed by the management. The cost of membership is the gift of two new garments a year, the size and cost cutting no figure in the case. The Democrat adds: "Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary is the president of the London Guild, and collects thousands of garments a year (besides giving ruany that are made by her own hands), for free distribution."
