First Glass Factories In America.

The first glass factory in what is now
the United States was erected in the year
1909 near jamestown, Va. and the second
followed in the same colony IL years
later. In 1859 some acres OF grou nd
were granted to glassmen in Salem.
Mass. The first glass factory in Penn
sylvania was built near Philadelphia in
1888, under the directions Of VIM. Penn,
but did not prove successful. The frst
west Of the Alleghanies was set up by
Albert Gallatin and his associates in
17s5, at New Geneva, on the MonOnga-
hela river. A small factory was estab-
lished on the Ohio river near Pitts
burgh In 1890. and another in 1898 The
earlier attempt failed, but the last was
quite successful In 1910 there were but
% glass factories, with an output of less
than 81, 500. 600 annually. At the pres
ent time there are hundreds OF factories
which yearly put over sloo Ooo, 900 worth

could neither speak nor move, and the
policeman drew back his club to per-
suade him into motion, but the blow
did not reach him. 1t raised cruel
welt on the young widows wrist, and
her voice trembled with pain and indig-
nation as she said:

me against that mans insults. Please
Act him CO."

his unhappy companion to pay no atten-

free, prodded Mr.. Drane again, and said
to the young woman:

''No! l won'tv' she cried, and she
stamped her foot imperiously. THAT

The policeman replied by rapping
smartly on the walk with his club, and
hardly had he ceased when another
blue coat appeared.
Take the young woman in, Charley"
said the first, laconically.
This is an outraged exclaimed Mr..
Dranc, and then that quick, dismal

that it was all perfectly natural.
Another poke and a warning from the

The uncertain and declining sales of
Irish lace then gave birth to a Ladies'
Industrial Society for Ireland" whose
announced object was to correspond with
English and foreign acquaintances to
induce them to sell, free of charge, any
Irish work sent to them, and to remit to
the owners the full amount that their
work realized But the society's oper-
atoms were not far reaching and did not
long survive.
In lS47, at the time of the famine In
ireland, efforts were made to relieve dis
tress by learning girls and women to
make lace and forcing the sales. The
convent schools gave much attention to

work was not altogether creditable.

character. This flat-point lace is made
principally at Youghal, in County Cork,
and Kenmare, County Kerry. Youghal,
under the direction of the Presentation
Convent there, has produced for good
many years some remarkable lace of
this sort. Kenmare was the first Of the
the lace-making converts to establish
an art class, and during the past five
years has not only manifested much en-
ergy, but has also produced one or two
quite remarkable bits of lace.
Very little pillow lace is produced in
Ireland. There are one or two torchon
making centers in Galway and the West.

under the Convent of Mercy at Parsons

Brussels applique lace, but the annual
output is small Attempts have been

But whenever that was relaxed the IN
dustry and its trade were seriously af-
fected. Supply stimulated demand, and
the nature Of the demand helped to keep
up the high character of the supply.
In England and Ireland It gradually be-
came the impression that the work was
o peasant and cottage industry, and as
such it commended itself to the notice
OF benevolent persons.
Experience, however, has shown that
simple benevolence does notsimply artis-
tic perception, or capacity to direct; in
fact, the impulsive sentiment of benev-
olence usually leads to results different
from the more lasting ones of CONNER
cial discipline. The influence of benev-
olence is somewhat strongly marked in
its connection with laee-making in Ire
land. Wide spread as lace-making had
become among the women Of France and
Flanders by the end of the seventeenth
century. 1t was at that time somewhat
extensively practiced in England,
when.e it passed over in modified de-
gree to ireland. Here from the
beginning the conditions seem to
for it a fairly promising foothold.
This may be inferred from the
fact that in the year I74S the Royal Dub
lin Society granted to a benevolent and
energetic lady, Lady Arabella Denny,
ESQ year to be distributed by her as
she pleased in prizes to those who ex-
celled in lace-making. She was possibly
fired with ambition to promote the in
dustry in Ireland by noting in the south
ern counties Of England the diligence of
the free maids who weave their threads
with bones" as well as by reading pas
sages in Bishop Berkley's ''Word to the
Wise," which describes how on a sum-
mer's evening comm on laborers were to
be seen sitting along the streets of a
town or village. each at his own door
with cushion before him. making bone
lace, and earning more in an evenings
pastime than an Irish family would in a
whole day." She seems to have set TO-
work TO teach children in few of the
Irish poor houses how to make "bone
lace"-a small trimming lace something
like the torchon Of modern commerce,
80 that they should win the prizes.
The Royal Dublin Society continued
its annual grants for thirty years. New
ertheless soon after Lady Denny'sdeath
bone lace-making became extinct. But
the tradition survived, and early in the
present century an attempt was made to
revive it. The first was in 1920. Small
groups of lace-makers were formed, but
nothing OF importance resulted. In 1929
a party Of teachers we're brought over
from England, and before long fifteen
hundred women were engaged in max
ing pillow laces and embroidering imi-
tations Of tulle. This lasted some fifty
years, but the name Of Limerick" lace

direction, and the converts began form
ing classes and giving Instruction. The
number of such students at each lace
making convent is, of course, small, but
apparently upon the training and infiu-
ence Of such students, who for the most
part are nuns, the possible future sue
cess of lace-making In ireland will
largely depend. At the different CEN
tiers many Of the children learning lace
making, as we'll as q few of the adult
workers, who come to the work rooms
provided for their use, learn to draw and
so to accustom themselves TO good fow-
ing lines and a sense of proportion in
ornament, though very few. II any, OF
them possess, or can be expected to
possess, the capability or aptitude to
compose ornament.
These scattered art classes. most OF
which are equipped with good examples
or photographs OF old laces and, with
other works displaying types Of orna-
mental compositions, are in direct touch
with groups of lace-makers. This feat
ure, which is at least new one in the
conditions of lace-making in ireland,
has been developed since 1884. There
are now eight of such classes at lace
making centers, besides six similar
classes at converts where varieties Of
industrial instruction are given. At the
Schools of Art in Dublin, Cork, Liner
lex and Waterford small classes Of lace
pattern designers have been established,
and the students in them are sometimes
commissioned by dealers to compose pat
terms for laces which may be made in
different parts of Ireland
At Innishmacsaint, Cappoquin, New
tonbarry, Boris and elsewhere ladies
interested in lace-making supervise the
work done by little groups of peasant
women. There Is prosperous lace
school on the Bath and Shirley estate at
Carrickmacross; but at none of these
last-named places are there any drawing
and pattern-making classes correspond
ing with those at the converts. LINER
lex has now opened training school
for young lace-workers. This school is
supported by public subscriptions start
ed by Mr.. Shaw, Of Limerick, but has
hardly been at work sufficiently long to
prove its value in influencing the indus
try. Limerick and Carrickmacross en-
broideries on net are perhaps the more
easily made of the different Irish laces.
Crochet work is in a most encourag-
ing condition, the demand for fine
grades exceeding the supply. One firm

now has 600. The Americans and French
are the largest buyers, pattern called
