I have been so frustrated recently by not being able to see the lace worn by the cardinals in Rome No disrespect to the late Pope, but I share your frustration. How often do we have the opportunity to see such a parade of ecclesiastical lace? I myself have been scrutinizing the newspaper photos with a magnifying glass. When you see ecclesiastical lace, such as the excellent alb bottom on display in Baltimore now, you salivate about what must be hidden in the vaults of the Vatican. I have always suspected that the Vatican must have world class lace since it has such world class everything. Last year, Tess and I visited the Palisades Library near here, where one of the sample books of Marian Powys resides, since Marian herself resided in the community. The librarian had known Ms. Powys personally and was giving me a testimonial about her. She mentioned that Marian Powys had identified lace for the Vatican! Another clue! I am sure that a thorough exploration of the Vatican Lace would be a riveting as the Da Vinci Code. How I wish someone would undertake to write it. Devon PS. If someone wants to pursue Cardinals and Bishops like the paparazzi, we could post an album of ecclesiastical lace in the arachne webshots area. I can see it now. "Hey Cardinal", snap, snap, snap. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
