A 1919-1920 magazine article by Marian Powys arguing that lace should be judged by the quality of its design, and that American lacemaking deserves more notice. She surveys how European lace traditions keep copying older patterns, describes efforts to revive historic lace and to create new designs, and discusses Devon pillow lace (Honiton), Point d'Angleterre and early lacemakers at Ipswich, Massachusetts. The article ends with advice on choosing and wearing lace, and is illustrated with photographs of American-made pieces including a bridal veil, a war lace, and fans.
