Ornamental cut linen work was in vogue for all sorts of house linen, table-cloths, curtains, coverlets, etc., in Italy in the sixteenth century. But it was not until later times that it was adopted for other articles which might be suitably made in it. Mr. Michael Hayes, of Limerick and London, designed the pattern for the present specimen, which was worked at the Bath and Shirley Schools, Carrickmacross.
