Short article by Abbie C. Mahin on Mechlin-type bobbin lace from Reichenberg (Liberec) in Bohemia, drawn from pieces she placed in the National Museum in Washington. She describes the gold and silver embroidered bonnets with lace borders worn by local women in the 18th and early 19th centuries, how lace quality and border height signaled rank, and the dismantling of old bonnets by antique dealers. She also discusses the possible origin of the wide Mechlin laces and the réseau ground (two braided and four twisted sides), and recounts buying lace from a traveling peddler from the mountains. Illustrated with photographs of lace strips and borders.

A short 1922 article on pusher lace, a patterned machine-made net produced on the Pusher machine built by Samuel Clark and James Mart in 1812. It traces the development from Heathcoat's plain net machine, explains why production stayed small and costly, and describes hand outlining, the spread of the machines to France, the peak of the trade from 1850 to 1870, and its decline after 1867. Photographs show specimens from private collections and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including a lace cape and a strip with dancing figures.
