The Irish lace ball recently given in
Dublin. by Lady Aberdeen appears a
most brilliant event In Great .Britain's
social calendar. says the Boston Tran.
script. Lady Aberdeen's historic ball
was one with purpose aside from pro.
viding a few gay hours for her guests.
And that the purpose succeeded IL
seen In the report that Irish lace, al
ready in high favor, is now enjoying
a boom, II that term can be used to
describe the movement Of anything so
filmy and delicate az lace. There were
Irish lace reels and Irish lace quad
rifles at the ball. different kind OF
Irish lace distinguishing each set.
Only an expert in lace matters could
name the kind of lace on sight, and
only o pastmistress in the art Of
dressmaking could tell ofYhand the
names OF the lace effects shown In the
costumes. 1t was all very beautiful
70 the thousand or more who saw II.
A great Irish industry was helped as
never before. perhaps, and the popu,
larity OF the Aberdeens became even
more secure and stable, II that were
possible.
