London Mrs. Earnest Hart, who created
these industries, recently returned from
visit to Japan and brought with her
many Japanese designs which look tx
treme]y we'll on the Donegal linen.
There is a large and eager demand for
this linen, which is dyed in beautiful
shades, and is peculiarly suitable for ar
tistic needle-work. One interesting
thing shown is the "Hamilton" bedcover-
let. It is worked on Donegal linen, with
polished flax threads, looking like silk,
but with subdued lustre OF their own.
Another and most beautiful coverlet is
Of Japanese hand-painted crepe-known
as ''moon and clouds"-with a japanese
cherry blossom design on it, the embroid-
cry having been done in Ireland. The
natural dizziness of the Irish race is, how
ever, best shown by the wood carvings.
Three years ago, two Donegal boys were
trained in London, partly at the Poly

at Gweedore. Some owls. modelled after
all original study of the birds, ara admir-

of Aberdeen, who wanted them for dec
oratjons on the oriel windows of her rest
house, known as the ''Owleries.' It may
be added that the E'hand and heart''
homespun cloth also represents flour
fishing Donegal industry.
