A four-page encyclopedia article on lace by Charles Richards Dodge. It defines lace and surveys its uncertain origins, then separates needle-point, bobbin or pillow, and machine-made lace. It covers the main named varieties (Venetian, Alençon, Brussels, Mechlin, Valenciennes, Honiton and others), the threads used, lace-making in Europe and in colonial and peasant traditions, and the history of lace machines. A plate shows seven lace samples.
