A two-page 1921 magazine article by Clara M. Blum on the history and appeal of handmade lace, written to encourage American appreciation and collecting. It discusses lace as a pastime of court ladies, peasants and nuns, and describes its uses in costume, church textiles and household furnishings from the 16th to 19th centuries. Illustrated examples include a Point de France baptismal veil or trimming and a Renaissance Toile d'Honneur of filet and drawn work used as a marriage canopy.
