Probably no woman in the world has
had more rich women for her pupils
than has this neodleworSer from Canada.
One of the first women she taught when
she came 10 New York was Mrs. VIII
liam Astor. Her second or third was
Mrs. Coils T. Huntington, To give the
whole list would be like Eepeating the
Blue Book.
Mrs. Huntington has come to be one
of the greatest collectors in America.
Her laees are of fabulous value She has
given more earnest study to the history
of lace than has any of the other rich
women that have shown expertness in
needlework. She is almost qualified to
be a lace expert herself If she lost
all her money tomorrow. she could earn
a good living from her knowledge OF
laees
To Miss Hadley's mind, no business
open to women today offers greater op-
portunity than lace making. It is broad
in its scope. 1t takes in the poor girl
and the girl who is gently bred It's
rewards are large to those who master
II. 1t practically is in its infancy in
the United States So long as there is
wealth and the love of the beautiful
lace making will endure There is no
reason why the American lace maker
should not, IL well taught, become the
equal of the European. The American
girls who have taken up lace making
and have been ambitious and have had
their heart in their work, have madal
surprising progress. Some of them, in
ilet lace make parts of the mesh Just
as well as do the most expert lace
makers of Europe.
They haven't had the teachers on this
side qualified to instruct pupils properly
and develop lace making as 1t should be
developed In the minds OF the beginnera.l
The big school that Miss Hadley may
establish later on should turn out a. LOT
of well equipped teachers Anything She
goes into she is thorough about. If Amera-,
ca ever gets anywhere as a lace-malxingl
nation, 1t probably win be due to this
little woman whose needle can work.

took another class Teaching was easy
for her
A little later she began to write about
lace and as result of that writing she
became editor of magazine known as
the Lace Maker. 1t is queer how peo-
pie will flock to a person who is an
authority, or believe to be an authority
in any one line. Collectors consulted
Miss Hadley whenever they wished to
buy fine laces. Museums asked her judge
ment, and employed her to search the
history of such laces as they possessed.
The government recognized her officially
by using her writings and her examples
as the basis for instruction in needlework
in the government schools in Porto Rico,
the PHILIPPINES and elsewhere. Then she
got to buying laces and displaying them.
Probably no woman ever lived has had
more influence on needleworlzers than
Miss Hadley. She has invented all sorts
of stitches, and created multitude of
new designs. 1t was she who introduc-
ed the dolly and table laces generally.
The inserting of lace into linen for table
laces were her work. She can copy any
picture in lace. She can represent any
style or any period with the deft touches
of the needle. One of these fine days she
is likely to open a great school for the
teaching of artistic needlework
We can't make the fine laces in Ameri-
ca that are made abroad. Our women
folk are not taught as the women are
In Europe. An education is not COM
plete in Europe unless a cultured young
woman has taken course In needle
work just she would take course
in grammar music or dancing. Fine
sewing is just as much of an accom-
plishment as is fine speech. Some of
the converts abroad are famous for their
classes in needlework. Most of these are
on the continent, but the British are not
so far behind. They have classes In
needlework in connection with Kensington
Museum. Only in a few places In the
United States are there fine schools for
needlework today. The pupils, however.
are of the best type They are ambitious
and have made remarkable progress.
From her start as a teacher and her
work as an editor and adviser to col
leetors, Miss Hadley has grown gradually
to be one of the great lace dealers of
America. Many of her treasures the pub
lie never see All the more beautiful of
her laces are hidden away in great safes.

xVY7 HENEVER the United States
M custom authorities at one of
the larger ports along the At
lantic have laces of delicate fabrics about
the value of which they are in doubt,
there is one rule to follow. That is to
send for Sara Hadley. In the estimation
of the government, she knows more about
needlework than any other woman in
America. She is Americas great lace
expert. There is not stitch that is
known to woman that she isn't mistress
of. There isn't thread that ever was
made that she doesn't know the history
of. There isn't precious piece of lace
work handed down from former cen
turtles that she doesn't know as well as
the most famous of art experts know
the work of Michael Angelo. Rubens, or
any of the other great masters. What
ever she says about the product of the
needle is accepted as gospel
Some girls take naturally to needle-
work. Sara Hadley was one of them
She is a Canadian. having been born in
Chatham, which isn't very far distant
from Detroit She had a local reputation
before she was twelve years old for her
remarkable work in the sewing line. Her
people We're well to do and there was no
particular reason why she should apply
herself to needlework, but she had so
much love for making things and so
much patience that her parents determin-
ed to indulge her to the fullest and give
TO her every opportunity to learn all
there was to be learned about the art
After she got through school on this side
of the water. they sent her abroad. She
finished her regular studies in a famous
educational institution and then she took
a sort of postgraduate course by travel
ling all over Europe. She didn't travel as
most women travel. but went to live
among the peasants to study their work
with the needle. There she got more
knowledge about lace making than she
ever absorbed through books or regular
teaching. Through France through Bel
gium, through Switzerland, through ITALY,
through Sweden and through Ireland she
went on her mission of study. 1t took
years of earnest work, but they were hap
py years.
/ When she returned to this side of the
Atlantic she had no intention of making
a business use of her accomplishment.
Some persons are forced into business.
Miss Hadley couldn't help sewing. It
was second nature to her. Women who
saw her work or heard about It question
ed her. Then they told others about her.
That led to lot of VISITORS They made
all sorts of suggestions to her as to what
she should do. Some of them wanted to
take lessons from her. She came to New
York and had the same experience she
had in other cities. She was induced to
give lessons in embroidery and the most
delicate of needlework to a small class of
women That paid her so well that she
