Why LACE IS COSTLY. Many people WON

is SO costly. The following paragraph from
foreign exchange explains the reason :
'The manufacture of lace is carried to its
highest perfection in Belgium. The finest
specimen of Brussels laco is SO complicated
as to require the labor of seven persons on one
piece, aud each operative is employed at dis
tinct features of the work. The thread used
is of exquisite fneness, which is spun in dark
underground rooms, where it is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from separating.
1t is so delicate as scarcely to be- seen. and the
room is so arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. 1t is such material
that renders the genuine Brussels ground so
costly. On piece Of Valenciennes not two
inches wide, from 200 to 300 bobbiDs are some
times used, and for the larger width as many
as 500, on the same pillow. The most val
liable ValeDcieDnes is determined by the
pumber of times the bobbns have been twisted
in making the ground the more frequent the
