A D'scovery in Lace.
A new exquisitely patterned hand
made lace has been discovered, or
rather invented, that promises to win
popular faver with womankind, It
comes from a Buffalo convent, where |
the nuns have experimented so sue |
cvsafully In its manufacture that large
orders have been taken for yokes,
boleroes and the entire robes, that are |
the most elegantly beautiful gowns
that & woman's wardrobe can boast.
A very pretty story comes from the
convent to the effect that a young wo-
man who was very ill and in the care
of the sisters became a convert to their
faith, while swaiting death from an
affection of the lungs. She recovered
and during her convalescence, learned
the principles of lace making, of which
she had known nothing before. Al-
most like an inspiration, she con
ceived wonderfully beautiful designs
and stitches until the astonished nuns
found that a new lace had been add
ed to the real laces known to needle
women The patient grew well under
the puns’ care and has since crested
the industry which promises to make
the convent as famous as some of
those of the old world from which
came dainty films of priceless weaving
to deck the modern woman as they did
her mother before and to be handed
down to generations to come. Detroit
