The Skill of Irish
Women in Embroidery

mentioned was held in high esteem
may be gathered from a statement to
be found in the Brehon Law: "For
every woman who is an embroideress
deserves more profit than even
queens" Wooden threads of different
colors, together with silver thread,
and Special kind of needle made of
steel or bronze, were either carried
by the embroideress in an ornamental
handbag, if she happened to be royal
parsonage or high-born lady, or else
kept in a wooden box.
Skilled Irish Women.
We know from the oldest and most
reliable authorities that Irish women
Of the highest rank were skilled in
the art of embroidery long before the
light of Christianity had dawned upon
the land. They also spun their own
ornamental thread, which was wound
into balls; and the needles we may
add, were furnished with an eye SINH
lar to those used at present.
st. Patrick, and after him other
saints and prelates, employed skilled
embroide resses-often women of high
and even royal birth-to make vest
ments, frontals, hangings, and other
articles for the Church. These &C.
complished needle women seem to
have been expert dressmakers and
coatmakers; for we know that st.
Erenait was not only "embroideress"
but cutter and sewer of clothes to St.
Columkille and his disciples.
We know that Byzantium sent into
Western Europe, particularly for &C.
clesiastical purposes, a great deal of
embroidery Of which some specimens
are still extant The Church during
those dark days that followed the fall
of the Roman Empire, alone kept the
lamp of art alight and glowing, cloth
ing her priests, even in those early
times, in vestments that would put to
shame the highest efforts of modern
skill. Not few Popes were generous
patrons of this art, and made many
magnificent donations of needlework
to the Church.
In the Middle Ages, much of the
most beautiful embroidery was made
in England and called in consequece
Opus Anglicanum-a name which came
to be very generally bestowed upon
gold embroidery, whether it had been
executed in this country or not AT
the time of the Saxon rule in England
the art reached a high state of per-
lection, which may, perhaps, be &C.
counted for by the fact that the Celtic
element of the population was still
very large. In proportion as the An
glo-Saxon race become predominant
the artistic tendencies of the people
diminished.

Embroidery is one of the Oldest OF
the ornamental arts; indeed, we
know that at a very early period of
the worlds history it had attained a
high degree of perfection; and even
cursory glance into the different
books of the Old Testament is. suf-
ficient to prove how skilfully this
kind of work was executed, and how
artistically it was designed. In a GER
tain passage we read of divers colors
of needlework on both sides," which
evidently means that the stuff was
wrought in such a way as to rem
der both sides alike-a kind of en-
broidery very difficult to execute and
requiring at the same time so much
manual dexterity, care and patience,
that only races prominently patient
as, for example, the Hindoos, Chi
nese and .'apanese-practice it in per-
lection, writes Marian Nesbitt in Ave
Maria.
History tells us that embroidery was
extensively used in ancient Egypt,
even the sails of the galleys being
wrought with needlework.
It is scarcely necessary to recall
the minute description of the needle
work employed in the richly-decorated
sacerdotal garments of Aaron and his
son.
Known to IsraeIites.
The Israelites, profiting by their So
journ in Egypt, had acquired much of
the Egyptian civilization, and the art
of embroidery was clearly held in high
esteem amongst them. We read that
the curtains of the Tabernacle were
of fine twined linen-blue, purple, and
Observation-Disclosures with cherubim;
the high priests vestments had upon
the hens pomegranates of blue and
purple, scarlet and twined linen"
"And they made bells of pure gold,
and put the bells between the pome-
granates upon the hem of the robe"
The art, however, of twisting flattened
wire round silk or linen threads was
not practiced till much later date,
so that what we understand by cloth
of gold or siler was then unknown.
The Greeks were proficient in the
art of embroidery, using it both for
their garments and in religious cere-
monial.
The Romans, always luxurious and
magnificent in their tastes, loved
embroidery and all precious stuffs,
which they imported from the East,
Phrygia and Babylon being the chief
centers of this commerce.
The daughters of the Irish nobility
the chieftains in their varying
grades - were instructed from the
earliest times in plain sewing, cutting
out, and embroidery. That the last

cial statement today gives the total
loss of the German high sea fleet dur
ing the battle off Jutland and up to
the present time as one battle cruiser.
one battleship. four small cruisers and
five torpedo boats.
The statement said:
"Of these the battleship Pommern
was launched in 1905. The loss Of the
cruisers weisbaden, Elbing, Frauenlobe
and five torpedo boats already has
been reported in military statements.
For military reasons we refrained
from mention of the loss Of the battle

claimed->in the first statement by the
British admiralty. At the same time
the British claimed two battleships

COUNCIL STANDS PAT.
Ames Aldermen Say College Section
Can't Have Picture 1heater.

Ames, June s.-Ordinance No. 2s4
has been passed by the council and
the Fourth ward is thereby deprived
OF the joys Of a moving picture
theater. The ordinance is practically
the same as the one killed in council
several weeks ago. 1t establishes a
district, on Main and Fifth streets be-
tween Duff & Grand avenue, wherein
moving picture theaters will be al
lowed to operate, but reserves the
right for schools and churches to
show moving pictures incidental to
lecture or other entertainments.
There was very little time con-.
sumed by the councilmen in putting
the ordinance thru at the regular
meeting. The ordinance as presented.
was read by the clerk. COM
munication presented by residents of
the Fourth ward followed, and the roll
was called.
Moravetz and Allen voted against
the ordinance, but Allen changed his
vote at the second reading, while
Moravetz continued to oppose It, The
final vote stood 5 in favor and
against.
The petition which was presented
by residents of the Fourth ward
against the proposed ordinance and
which was read by City Clerk Max
well, cited reasons why the ordinance
| would be a discrimination against that
part Of the city, stating that at re-
cent mass meeting 165 voted in favor
! Of a moving picture theater in the
Fourth ward as against nine not in
favor. The resolution stated that in
its very nature the ordinance was
partial and discriminatory in favor Of
a class against another in the same
situation and in the same city and
predicted that the passage of it would
provoke indignation and disturb the
good will and harmony Of the city.
| When Manager Joe Gerbracht, Of
! the Twin Star Theater. was ap-
preached this morning regarding his
intentions in the face Of the new ordi-
nance, he merely stated that "the
/ building is under way and will be
completed" Mr.. Champlain, who is
putting up the building at cost Of
about $4,000, has already consider
able work done on the structure and
contracts covering practically all the
work have been let.

Orpet's home and found that the young
man had not been there. He was
supposed to he at Madison, Wis, at
school.
The lawyer recounted how, early on
the morning Of Thursday, Feb. 10, he-
fore it was daylight, Lambert took up
the trail in the snow and finally found
where Marians footprints joined those
of man. Snow brushed from log
showed where they had seated them
selves, and footprints indicated several
places in their rambling trail where
they had stopped evidently to talk He
came finally upon bit Of green cloth
torn from his daughters skirt, and
later upon the body itself.
Marian lay on her left side. her
head to the south, her left arm under
her in a natural position, the school
books still between her arm and her
body, her right arm across her breast,
the glove from that hand off and lying
a few inches from her left hand, her
handkerchief lying in the snow close to
her body" continued Mr.. Joslyn. Her
clothing was not disturbed
mo bottle, box, paper, or container
of any kind was near the body and
subsequent search developed that none
was within many feet of the place."
Further examination of the woods
disclosed, the lawyer said, that Orpet
returned twice to the body, and that
on the last trip away from it he was
careful to step in tracks which he had
made previously.
At the postoffice the police found
Orpet's so-called "alibi' letter to Miss
Lambert mailed. it is alleged by Or
cts friend, Otto Peterson, after Orpet
had left Madison and was in Helms
woods.
At the autopsy, Mr.. Joslyn said, and
at other examinations, the closeness
with which a faint white powder adj
hered to the skin of one of her hands,
and to her dress, showed that the
poison was administered in liquid
form. The evaporation of the liquid
left the spots, he said.
Her death was instantaneous" said
Mr.. Joslyn. Cyanide of potassium
when taken in crystal form or as
powder produces death quickly but it
is preceded by discomfort and con-
to Marian in this form she would have

not have been found lying in the nat
ural position in which it was.
THE evidence will show that beyond
question Marion Lambert was MUIR
dered, for under the circumstances at
tending her death she could not have
committed suicide"
Orpet Wins Point.
Orpet won a long contested point to-
day when Judge Donnelly ruled that all
letters written by the defendant to the
girl be turned over to the defense.
