quately represented in the form of a
special exhibit at the coming worlds

nearer home to us, and some more
minute description of the recent devel-
opments in this sphere will doubtless
prove of interest to many who might
remain apathetic but for this additional
stimulus
LanEuishinE for Years.
The Irish cottage industries, once Of
great Importance and not inconsidera-
BILE source Of revenue to the emerald
isle as a whole, have been, it is we'll
known, languishing for a number of
years. True, even at the lowest ebb
these industries were pursued at thou
sands of humble firesides and furnished
the means of living for a small army of
poor Irish wives, widows and maidens.
Many eXquisitely beautiful samples Of
work were turned out in small cottages
whose mud floor and peat-smol1ed cell
ing would hardly have seemed the
proper accompaniment for such deli
cate handicraft.
But the work. on the whole, was less
and less recognized and demanded, and
the market for it became narrower all
the while; the prices, too, paid for it
became lower and lower.
$ In large measure this deplorabk3 con-
dltlon OF affairs was due to two causes
VIZ: Lack of organization and sys-
tenn and failure to invent new and at
tractive designs and patterns. This was
particularly noticeable in the lace in
dustry. Irish laces, it is true, have
never at any time been very much the
fashion, but formerly there was always
a constant demand for them, neverthe-
less, and there was hardly lady who
did not own one or more pieces of it,
even if it was but the common crochet
kind, worn one season and then discard
ed forever. Of recent years, though,
the Irish lace workers had fallen into
the habit of using over and over again
the same few designs Of old, gone out of
fashion and hence become improbable.
The work itself might be perfect-and
often was-and gold medals might have
been rewarded repeatedly to this or
that particular worker for specially
noteworthy manual skill, but since the
designs employed were of the kind
for which there was no market, all this
remarkable skill came to naught and
produced no benefits of a tangible kind
to it's possessor. The same lacemaker
whose work had been rewarded by a
gold medal was obliged to live in a
One-rOOm cottage and to sell her best
pieces of landmark for a mere song,

industrial development were en-

but ten shillings, and the membership.
while constantly growing, is not by
any means as large thus far as it ought
to be.
The principal difficulty in the way,
though, was the inability of the Irish
cottage worker to substitute new and
pretty designs in place of the old and
unattractive designs used in their toll.
Ihe nuns under whose direction most
of the lace is produced are most re-
luctant to adopt new designs. If, per-
chance, they momentarily rise to the
idea of producing something new, they
look at the carpet on the floor of their
rooms for inspiration. And the car
pets in the sitting rooms of nuneries
are not exactly things of beauty. One
of the main tasks, therefore, of the
association is to supply teachers to in
struct the women in making the designs
which sell. They hope to have experts
in all fashionable centers, who know
what will be worn next season, and
supply this information to the associa-
ton in time for the lacemakers to get
such goods ready as will be required.
They are forming local committees,

For the Worlds Fair.

For the Worlds Fair.
The latest enterprise of the Irish In
dustries association is the exhibition Of
it's goods, in very charming and at
tractive form, at the worlds fair
grounds this spring and summer. They
will be shown in an Irish village, trans
planted from it's green island home to
the monster exposition. A faithful re-
production of faithful old Barney cas-
castle, rising above the forest trees
and overtoweiing the village at one
end, will be one OF the chief attractions,
and at the foot of the great tower will
nestle the cottagers' cabins, in each
of which will be represented some
branch of the home industries of Ire
land. ..-. ..
When everything was ready for ship
ment and the exhibits as whole to-
gether in London, Lady Aberdeen went
over to Ireland and made a personal
tour of inspection in the centers Of
these Irish cottage industries, mainly
for the purpose of thoroughly acquaint-
ing herself with all the conditions of
production. She was enthusiastically
received throughout Ireland, and since
her return, as noted above the exhi-
bition of Irish industries has been held
in London, preliminary to transference
here. Lady Aberdeen will superintend
herself during the duration of the
worlds fair this SPECIAL exhibit Of the
Irish cottage industries. H.

The Irish Industries Association.
And this is why the Irish Industries
association was organized and has been
exerting itself to bring about a thor
Ough reform in these respects Some
seven years ago there came change.
Lord Aberdeen went to Ireland as
lord lieutenant, and Lady Aberdeen,
always ready to put her hand
to any good work, soon be-
came deeply interested in the
the home and cottage industries Of the
country. At the castle balls Lady
Aberdeen set the fashion of wearing
Irish laces. She encouraged the making
and sale Of Irish laces in all possible
ways, and it was astonishing to OBJ
serve what potent influence for good
one single lady who occupies a prom
inent position in society can exert. The
tagging industry was revived and the
demand for beautiful Irish laces be-
came greater and greater. Irish pop
Inns, too, were once more brought into
fashion by this same lady. a special
stimulus was impaired to this move
ment by Lady Aberdeen by the hold
