Lace Making" Miss Beach brought
with her the pillows, bobbins and pat
terms used in modern lace making and
used them IN Illustrating her lecture.
The exhibit is proving an unqualified
success and words Of praise are heard
from every visitor One who has
been to several large exhibitions both
in this country and abroad said yes
terday that the specimens and the ar
rangement of them equalled some of
the big exhibits. The last bit of lace
placed in the cases is a wedding veil
sent In by Mrs. Kirk, which was worn
by her grandmother. It Is beautiful
piece of Old Rose point. three yards
long. The committee is sorry that II
cannot take all the lovely laces which
/ have been sent in since the opening OF
the exhibit but the cases have beer
locked and It is impossible for more
room to be given over to them. Fol
