the queen Of lace. 1t is made entirely by

pattern, in small pieces which are after
ward united 10y invisible seams. The
tirmness and soidity of the texture ara re-
markable. 1Icrsehair is often INTRODUCED
along the edge to give irmness. Although
the workmanship of this lace has always
been Of great beauty, the designs in the
older specimens were seldom copied from
nature. This circumstance gave marked
advantage TO the laces of Brussels, which
represented flowers and other natural de-
signs with It high degree of accuracy The
defect, however, has disappeared in tho
point d'AIencon of recent manufacture; at
the Paris Exposition of 1867 We're speci.
mems containing admirable copies of nat
uraL flowers, intermixed with grasses and
ferns. Owing TO It's elaborate construction,
this lace is seldom seen in large pieces. a
dress made Of point dA encon, the produr-
ton of Bayeux, consisting of two llounccs
and trimmings, was exhibited at the En-
position of 1867, the pQce of which was ST.
600 francs. 1t required forty women
seven years to complete it.
