A 1898 Ladies' Home Journal article by Sara Hadley describing Venetian point needle lace, a style then new to America. It explains how the lace differs from Royal Battenberg (worked on the right side, no braids), how the raised corded outlines and buttonhole-bar background are made, and what threads and needles are needed. It illustrates centrepieces, finger-bowl doilies and a square table-cover alternating lace squares (triton and griffin designs) with hand-spun linen, and suggests uses such as church lace.
