Treasures. which we're a reminder at IA
nous people. scene. and places If Yea
ice. They we're, ri course. all of native
manufacture and made 10y hand. The
specimen of modern work We saw Was
Coarse and valueless compa,ed with those
Of the old. There were collars and cuffs
IN abundance, such as both men and
women wore, large, broad, "vandey red
collars like those We see in Venitian pic
lures, flounCe-, or rather straight bands,
of divers widths from five to twenty inches,
which had more probably belonged to
Abs and Cottas; they suggested rich
churches and gorgeous ceremonial in
time when mobiles and people we're de-
voted to splendid shows, prosperity and
loftiness; u picturesque blending Of the
religious and the imperial. She had
chasables, thick with gems; and affairs of
precious stones seem to harmonize we'll
with this priceless lace, woven over with
strange MISUNDERSTANDING, yet beauti.
full figures, intricate with tracery, which
put into stone would immortalize a
sculptor. Full of knots, each OF which is
q miniature masterpiece Of embroidery, anu
the whole product of an artists brain.
The old point de Venice has not the
gossamer-like beauty of Brussels; it Is
thick and close in its texture, and is of
that kind which looks best Oh dark vel
vets, heavy and dasky cloths, just what
one would fancy the grave Venitian sig
-ners wearing ON state occasions. 1t
matches somehow with the antique if
tecnth and sixteenth century jewelry, the
magnificent artistic heavy collars Of the
great orders of chivalry; it has some
thing solid, substantial, and splendid
about it. Such lace used to be sold to
kings and senators, not by paltry yard
measure, but for at least twice its weight
in gold, for the price in olden days was
'as many gold pieces a. would cover the
quantity of lace desired" Now, although
this princeIy mode of barter is out of
fashion, old Venitian point is still one of
the costliest luxuries in the world, and
the rich foreigners who visit Venice usu-
ally carry away as much as will border
handkerchief or trim cap, as a memento
of the once beautiful and imperial city of
the Adriatic.
There is no comparison between the
lace made four and five hundred years
ago and that made now. The veriest ig-
n0ramus in lace lore can see the rough,
tasteless, coarse appearance of the new
when contrasted with the old. There is
one set of this priceless lace owned BY n
lady in this city. 1t once formed part
of the Empress Josephine's wardrobe.
Such an antique is priceless, because it
cannot be duplicated.-HomsJ Journal.
