lace from the CafIovingian epoch
down to the present day, the ruff OF
Anne of Austria down to the bridal
veil Of the Empress Eugene. The
earliest kind of lace was apparently
made by pulling threads at regular
intervals out of a piece of linen, and
by then working over the bands thus
formed.

befitted a fabric which was in such
everyday and ordinary use, eve the
tops of gentlemen's boots being. at

article that it has ever since remained.

prestige and its value to the present
