  • LACE and LACE MAKING by ESTHER SINGLETON
    A Value Not to Be Measured Association is confronted with an unusual situation, and gg riT^^^ B ^y we now appeal to you because you are as vitally interested in a The Mentor as we are. You have often asked—how the full bene- gi fits of The Mentor could be given for tlie price ^beautiful pictures a in gravure and in colors, interesting, instructive text by well-known a writers, and a full, intelligent service in suppljring information in the a various fields of knowledge—all for the annual membership fee of n $3.00.' One of you recently wrote to us: "The Mentor is a bargain for Q the money. This additional service makes it absolutely priceless." a imi JOW have we been able to do it? By care and good judgment, nand by knowing where and how to get things—at a minimum ™ price. But that was under normal conditions. Now new condi- a * tions are forced upon us. Paper, ink, labor, and everything that " goes into the manufacture of magaziiies and books have advanced a " in cost one hundred per cent, or more. The paper on which The o " Mentor is printed cost 4% cents a poimd two years ago. To-day B " it costs 9 cents a pound—and it is still going up. And so it is with ° the cost of other materials. The condition is a general one in the ^ " publishing business. B ' ; ra ; a ^¥S^ have been together in a delightful association for fovir years b ffl \4/ —^just the length of a college course.

  • Chantilly Lace, but No Pretty Face
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard But first, is it Gentilly or Chantilly? Eminent Jacksonian historian and professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Robert V. Remini, wrote about Andrew Jackson’s preparations for the arrival of the British before the Battle of New Orleans: “Sweeping northeastward from the city, however, was a narrow ridge of dry land called the Plains of Gentilly; a road, Chef Menteur, followed this ground and connected the Rigolets with the city. Most citizens believed the invasion would come along this route, but they also believed it could be defended easily because of the extensive swamps on either side of the plains.” There was “no mystery about the origin” of the name “Gentilly,” wrote John Churchill Chase in Frenchmen, Desire Good Children…and Other Streets of New Orleans! He explained that “Mathurin and Pierre Dreux” were two brothers who were given “a choice of concessions” and “selected the high ground along Bayou Sauvage.” Chase’s explanation was, “They named their plantation Gentilly, because they had come from the commune in the department of the Seine of that name. In colonial New Orleans these two were known as the Sieurs of Gentilly.” That high ground became Gentilly Road and Chef Menteur Highway (U.S. 90), and after the Battle of New Orleans was over, the road eastward out from the city. Chase was only echoing historian Grace King, who believed that the Dreux property “was called Gentilly from home sentiment (Gentilly being a commune in the Department of the Seine)”.

Lace is placed in the context of creative art practice to establish an overview and understanding of the multifarious associations used to articulate ideas and concepts. This study explores the integration of lace themes into my current art practice while adopting methods of research that reflect on and challenge the tacit knowledge already present in my creative process. An action research methodology is implemented, introducing reflective activities to question my concept development and instigate change. Case studies are used to gain a deeper understanding of how and why the application of lace themes and metaphors are present in contemporary art. The research process has a cyclical form in that my art practice is a case study that informs and enriches my creative process.

    1 Chapter I Introduction Mark Twain coined the name Gilded Age to define the period of rapid industrial advancement, economic boom, big business development and frothing material opulence that erupted in America after the Civil War.1 In Mrs. Astor’s New York, Eric Homberger calls this same time period “The Age of Aristocracy” although he is explicit in differentiating his usage from the traditional European sense of the term. A true aristocracy has its base in the ownership and cultivation of land which the ultra wealthy of 1880s New York did not have.2 Homberger describes aristocracy as a “metaphor for high social status or prestige” and uses it to identify an upper class subgroup of individuals and families who shared a British-based set of aristocratic rituals, identity and organization.3 Homberger suggests that renewed interest in British culture began in the 1820s and 1830s when negative Revolutionary War sentiments had eased and many wealthy Americans looked to England for the latest fashions in lifestyle as well as templates for domestic architecture.4 Social pacesetter Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt favored French design and sophistication. As young Alva Smith, she had been taken to Paris by her mother in the 1860s and entertained at the glittering court of Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie.5 In later years, Mrs. Vanderbilt brought her love of the French Renaissance and the Bourbons6 into the design of her homes. She employed architect Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895), a proponent of the Beaux Arts style and known for his ideas of European grandeur.7 Hunt designed the William K.
