A modern lace machine is a wonder

Those installed in Zion lace factories
In mechanism. and are said to be of
the very latest and best type Each
machine weighs about nine tons and
Is composed of more than $4,000 sepa-
rate pieces
Sixteen million yards Of cotton are
used to thread single machine, divid-
ed into $4,000 separate threads, all
arranged in perfect order. The daily
product of one Of these machines is
about one mile of lace of the average

In January, 1900. during visit to
ment and machinery of a successful
and well-ordered lace factory and ship
ped it to America. that time a STAFF
of Is expert lace operators were ar
ranged for, which aroused the keenest
opposition in England, while the labor
gan campaign Of bitter antagonisn,.
The press of the country predicted that
the lacemakers eould not land without
violating the aAIien Contract Labor
Law" Of the United States.
The first party arrived in Philadel
"Waesland" and we're there detained
on board the steamer pending a con-
f1ict. The first ruling OF the Board of
immigration was that the people must
return to England on the steamer
which brought them. A rehearing was
secured and the adverse decision was
reafflrmed. An appeal was then made
to the Commissioner Of immigration,
and after a legal battle the case was
won. and the people were permitted
to land.
The result Of this last ruling was
that while these lace experts were per-
mitted to land. upon the ground that
q new industry was being brought to
this country, the establishing OF other
factories was barred, since after the
factory was esta blished in Zion City,
lace making was no longer q new in
dustry In America.

NEW YORK STYLES

With good pattern of an pp to-date

OF a pretty home or evening gown can be
fashioned. Jumper gowns of silk or oi
delicate light colored woolen materials
are easy to make and very becoming n,
slender youthful figures.
One Of Brown Satin
! had tile round tucked skirt arranged with
the tucks, which we're about two inches
vide, spaced by about inches. Tie
skirt was short clearing the ground by
three inches all around. The Jumper
waist which is as every one knows, like a
shirt waist cut out at the neck and with
sleeves reaching to the top OF the elbow
and having no seam is slipped on over
the head and drawn up by gatheri' e
string at the waist after it is adjusted.
Under this brown satin Jumper waist OF
cream colored net was worn, made pretty
and elaborate with tucks and with trinr-
mings of white Yalenciennes lace. The
neck of the brown jumper and sleeves
was ornamented with an embroidery Of
pink roses and leaves done in soft-greens
and browns.
Emhroidsries on Dresses
A well-knoYn Broadway store makes =
specially OF these embroidered jumper
dresses, but they are easily made at home
by any one with ordinaryskill and since
the embroidery is confined to the waist
and only little is done even on that, ii
