THE LADY CARMICHAEL GUILD

It is said of Lady. Carmichael, the wife of the Governor of Victoria, that she is one of the most level-headed Governor's wives who have ever visited Australia. Her "Lady Carmichael Guild" is a society of, the highest practicnl usefulness; also it is run on thoroughly, business lines. Its aim is to put home industries on a paying basis, and it takes the little industries, one at a time, and puts them on the basis firmly and gently, while the other industries wait on. the mat until their turn comes. It was found, for in-, stance, that several thousands'of pounds' worth of Irish crochet lace are annually imported into Victoria, which money might be spent in the State if the lace were made on the premises. Women aro making more indifferent crochet laco all over Australia .than any other thread tanglement that was ever taken up as a means of slaying time. A visit to any upcountry show proves that the will to make lace is here, also the energy to evolve miles of it, also the ignorance of how to do it well. The guild claims to tench the art and also to place the work when it is worth placing. The Arts and Crafts Guild works with the league, and they have got into touch with the trade. Consequently tho local laco industry is beginning to get on that paying basis aforementioned. Until that is done no other industry need look for attention. GREY HAIR.
