Your love song still 1 sing.

Lace in the Time of Louis XIV.

To what extent lace was used may be
guessed from the statement that France,
in time of Louis XIV, sent yearly to Italy
almost as much money for it as would have
maintained her army. No wonder the king
and Colbert passed laws against the for
eign fabric struggled in by Italian lace
makers, and by help of subsidies set up the
manufacture in dozen French provinces,
where poor sort was already made.
When point de France" as the home
product was called, came to court, the
king was so pleased with it that no courtier
dared approach him without triple ruffles
OF it at wrist, knee and throat.-New York

Glimpses Backward.

Through that long dark stretch Of q
thousand years lying between the Fifth
and Fifteenth centuries the greatest
luxuries were books. So costly were
they that it was next to impossible for
any but the richest to procure such ex-
pensive treasures. the more's the pity,
since but inches of information, so to
speak, remain to tell the story of their
worth and the, tale of wonderful gar
niture, both binding and ornamentation
revealing the peculiarly rich and varied
handicraft then in vogue. 3. =
Muchof the transcribing of the period
was done by residents of religious
houses: boards of hard wood, over which
leather was stretched, inclosed these
precious treasures. and further protec-
