Irish industrial progress will be given B. practical demonstration in Chicago in a. novel way under the pa tronage of the Irish Fellowship club. Four of the most expert girl artists at Irish lace making mak-ing are coming from Loughlyn, County Galway, to give exhibitions of lace making mak-ing and to show some of the products of the unrivaled skill of Irish hands in this beautiful branch of textile industry. Miss Mary O'Flannagan, graduated artist ar-tist in lace making of the Loughlyn Fchool of Industry, is at the head of this unique quartet of Irish girls who are carrying the policy of Sinn Fein from Ireland to the great market of the United Unit-ed Slates. She is a miss of only twenty twen-ty and her three companions are even younger. . Their plan for the introduction of genuine gen-uine Irish lace to a wider market is as tipw as it has been successful in eastern east-ern ciites. They are1 proceeding on a purely business basis and asking charity char-ity of no one. With the encouragement of the Irish Fellowship club of Chicago they pur- pose to make an arrangement with one of the big retail store? of the city to install a studio of lace making. The Ptudio. besides being a workshop, will ' be a lecture room in which practical r talks will be given on every subject I hearing upon the lace industry. Advice will be given, for instance, how to know real Irish lace, how to employ it to the hest effect and how to care for it. The committee of the Irish Fellowship cinb in charge of the Chicago visit of the lace makers is composed of James O'Shaughnessey, A. H. Revell, P. T. Barry, James J. Stokes, Thomas J. Con-sidine, Con-sidine, M. J. Faherty, Richard W. Wolfe, Philip McKenna. Bernard Mul-loncy, Mul-loncy, John A. McGarry, Charles ; French. John T. Keating and Charles J. Mulligan. 1 The Loughlyn school was one of the I first institutions to spring from the Sinn I Fein movement to revive Irish indus- I - 1 ; tries. In a few years it has grown to be a large school of training in which Irish girls are taught to be self-supporting in lace .making and other branches of remunerative art. The effort which the Irish Fellowship club and other organizations interested in Ireland's industrial development are making to secure a wide market in this country for Irish laces, linens, tweeds, etc., is deserving of encouragement and practical support. The hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been poured into the coffers of the parliamentary parliamen-tary party at home have so far been absolutely ab-solutely unproductive of any practical benefit to the country. The paramount evil of Ireland at present is not so much its political dependency, but its industrial indus-trial stagnation and consequent depopulation. A New Violinist. A new violinist who will make her debut in March, is said to have a romance ro-mance connected with her discovery as fascinating as that which brought Ole Bull into fame. Her name is Katherine Parlow, and she is an Irish girl 17 years of age. Some months ago Dr. Grosz, a Berlin concert agent, was told by an English friend that he had heard, while passing a house in a London street, a violinist playing with extraordinary skill and feeling. For some time he had listened and became convinced of the genius of the musician. But al Ihe could tell the agent was that he believed the mysterious myster-ious violinist to be a pupil of Dr. Auer. Dr. Grosz at once commissioned a detective, de-tective, for 5250, to find the musician, and in three days he succeeded in his quest. Miss Parlow played to Dr. Grosz. He was so impressed that he at once offered to hring her out as a solo violinist. vio-linist. The girl agreed, for her father is dead, and she had been living In London with her mother on a very slender slen-der means. Miss Parlow has already erned several thousand dollars In Berlin and Copenhagen, Copenha-gen, where she played before J.O0 people. peo-ple. She has been engaged to play at 120 concerts in North and South America Amer-ica at $1,000 a night. Physiology for the Foolish. When a smoker expels the smoke his mouth in a big, round cloud, you may know that tobacco is not hurting him very much. When a man blows the smoke out in a long, thin jet that travels trav-els half way across the room, he in hales, and he is not going to last many years. Tobacco smoke taken into the lungs comes in contact with about 300 square feet of mucous membrane, the blood soaks it in, and the nicotine roams around inside the man until it finds nice quiet spots to settle down. These spots are the nerve centers in the spine. In time these ganglia become be-come soft and flabby. Fatty decomposition decompo-sition sets In, and some day in an emergency one of them blows out, as the piece of fuse wire in the telephone blows out when lightning strikes the line. Then the smoker loses the use of his legs or his liver or some other important im-portant member. Post-mortem examination exam-ination reveals saffron colored blotches with dark green centers in those parts of the nerve system affected by the poison. The doctors declare that most persons who die In their sleep nowadays now-adays without knowing anything about it are inhalers of tobacco smoke. Inhalation In-halation is as sure as lead poisoning or prussic acid, and either of these two last-named short cuts to the grave is less painful than nicotine. Therefore, my son, if you must smoke, select something that makes a smudge too strong for you to breathe into your lungs. It is true that strong cigars killed General Grant, but if Grant had used cigaretes he would have been placed on the retired list long before the firing of Fort Sumter. Remember about tho?e soft yellow spots with the dark green centers. .. . |
