WHY LACE is CosT4Y.-Many people
wonder why what is termed real lace
as lace made by hand is called, to dis
tinguish it from that made by machine.
which is called limitations so costly.
The following paragraph from q. foreign
exchange explains the reason:
The manufacture of lace is carried to
its highest perfection in Belgium. The
finest specimen of Brussels lace is so
complicated as to require the labor of
seven persons on one piece, and each
operative is employed at distinct features
of the work. The thread used is of ex-
quisite fneness, which is spun in dark
rooms where it is sufficiently
moist to prevent the thread from sepa-
rating. 1t is SO delicate as scarcely to be
sect, 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 two to three hundred
bobblns are sometimes used, and for the
width as many as eight hundred, on the
same pillow. The most valuable Val
enciennes is determined by the number
of times the bobbins have been twisted
in making the ground; the more frequent
the twists the clearer and more beautiful
will be the lace. Belgium annually sells
of this lace alone to the value of over
$4,000,000. Chantilly lace is always
black, is used chiefly for wells and
flounces. 1t is very fine, and is extern
sively worn. Mechlin lace is made at
Mechlin, Antwerp, and other localities.
