RISH POINT LACE has always been
very popular, but it Is more so now
than az any time in its history
Tt is used for collars, cuffs, dress
trimmings. boIeros, large sailor collars
and a number Of other articles. However,
considering that almost every inch of this
lace used In the United States is imported,
It is natural that the price should be what
it is-exorb!tant-and suited only to those
who command weil-filed poczetboolzs.
Irish point lace is made mostly in Ire
land. hut is made also - some extent
in Eastern France. IN some villages Of the
mountainous districts, wneTe the men are

men make lace from one end Of the year

As Il Is well known, irish point lace is q
sort Of crochet lace, but il has some Pc
culiariues and lntrisacies which are not
found in the more ordinary sort Of crochet
laces. In the Irish lace the background
is always formed of chains, with picots.

meet together the more solid figures used

short stitch, very close, heavy and solid,
and quite frequently (as is the case in
the pattern illustTated) with a raised ef-

EAUTFUL INTRICATE IRISH POINT LACE AND THE WAY TO MAKE n

The stem, extending in the Ieeey back
ground. and sometimes connecting differ
cnt figures, is also a feature Of the Irish
lace.
The pattern illustrated represents a
grape leaf; the leaves are made first. and
also the small wheels {see illustration),
and when the desired number OF leaves
and wheels has been made the back
ground is worked.
HOW TO Make THE LEAVES.
First wind your thread twenty times
around a lead pencil. slip of and hold be-
tween the thumb and forehnger Of left
hand ana crochet thirty doubles in the
ring; then make a slip stitch on the upper
part Of each double (see illustration of the
single leaf.
Now work another row OF doubles, TAX
ing only the under loop Of the first doubles
made, and managing TO work So doubles
over the 30 doubles Of the previous row.
thus: Work I double ia each Of dou-
bles and doubles in fifth; one double IN
each Of 4 again and in next, and so on
all around; you VIII have IS doubles
around the ring; now We begin working
the divisions in the leaf: Chain Is; make
