The Rage for Lace.

NhlcagO Almees
All costumes this season have shown
the lavish use Of lace, from entire
fronts Of dresses trimmed TO its full
aounoiDgs on oyerskirts and bssques,
and entire overdresses of its fluy
texture. Lace is quite durable,
always becoming and appropriate, and
its new advent into popular favor is
hailed with joy by the fair sex,
All black silks that look shabby
genteel' are Just the thing for an
Overdress for this deluge Of pillows Of
lace. Oolored silks that will easily
show soil have these little defects ad-
mirably concealed by narrow loune-
ings Of lace round the bottom, an
overdress aud basque Of the same
above. There is really a lace craze,
which includes all old kinds with sew
eral new varieties.
There is no trimming with so aris-
tocratic a history or which had its
beauties 50 appreciated by the nobility
as has the flmy texture known as
lace. Isabella, Of Spain; Catherine,
Of Arragon, and Catherine de Medicis
whiled away mary hours in its con-
struction, and taught the art to the
young ladies of their courts. Poor
Mary Stuart in her exiled home
sought through its intricate meshes to
drown care and find a pastime.

1t was a young woman, neatly

front door Of a house on Taylor street
yesterday. The mistress OF the estab-
lishment remembered that she had a
brooch with a pin lacking and handed
it over to the itinerant jeweler to ope
rate upon. Her actions showed that
she was adept in the business. In a
neat box, about fifteen inches long and
Eve high, were arranged a full kit of
jewelers. tools, including a spirit lamp
and blowpipe. A new pin was speed
lily attached to the brooch and turned
over to its owner.
"How much is itP"
Twenty five cents" was the reply.
Having paid the amount, the inquis
tive lady Of the house asked the tray

work to do.
"0h, plenty" she answered. In

"You would be surprised if | were

clock run faster or slower. But there
are very many. There are some PEG
pie, too, who have some expensive
clocks, who do not care to tamper with
them, and in such cases | am always
asked to look after them"
