Show She Gets a Gold Medal. Mrs. Alice M. Hart, who founded the Donegal industrial fund and who had charge of the industrial and technical exhibit in the Irish Tillage at the World's fair, has received gold medals for the home industries shown spinning, weaving, weav-ing, lacemaking, Kell's art linens, embroideries, em-broideries, etc. A certificate from the linen judges says that "in dyeing of heavy linens she surpassed everything that had been previously done in that line."
