III Is very gcheraiiy peiievcd---and
.ho rs'aitioh isa prooapio one--tha'
lace-maklng was introduced INTO Dev-
onshire py the refugees from FLANDERS
IN the year lod1--the names OF some
OF the laee-makers, which are OF flem-
lsl origin, supporting this idea.
In the early part ofthe present cen
tury the lace-manniactorles m Honi-
ton and the neighborlng villages en-
I ployed some 1900 women and children,
showing that at that time II must have
peen 2 lucrative employment but the
introduction OF the bobbin-net machin-
cry, over my years ago, caused a
depression IN the trade, owing to the
iact That previous TO this the whole Of
the net, grounded, as il is termed by
the initiated, was made on the pillow.
loniton lace owes its present pop
llarity TO the laudable efforts OF queen
victoria, VINO, commlserating the
i'iserapic condition oi these lace-mak-
eiT' dSterlincd 70 assist them by
eg"'h bringing heir work INTO notice.
