Ladies who own enough lace have agreed to take case, ar range and label their own exhibits. There will be laces from some of the neighboring towns, as well as from places farther off. where some of the New Haven ladies have friends who are enthusiastic enough about lace and the art of lace making, to lend what will be of interest to those who wish to admire or to make study of what has been almost forgotten Industry. This exhibition beside being beauti- full artistic display aims to teach what can be done by womans delicate and deft fingers, combined with skill and patience.
