Long before the date of Barbara Utman's
discovery, the Flemish nuns in their con
vents near Ghent had discovered point
lace, and in the end of the Fourteenth and
beginning of the Fifteenth centuries much
of this beautiful and truly artistic lace
was produced This triumph of medieval
needlewOrk was, however, scarcely sc
much an invention as a development of a
separate inferior art called 'lacis.' This
was q variety of cut or drawn work, in
which pattern was formed by drawing
out threads from loose, coarse fabric, and
then fastening the ioosened threads to
gether with a needle
Many books patterns for lacis and needle
point are still in existence, spreading over
the whole of the Sixteenth century o.
these the most ancient is the German
Model Buch, which bears the date of 1921
Vinciolo, Venetian, also published book
upon lace in 1892, in which the transition
from lacis to needle point is very clearly
shown. His patterns are exceedingly com
plex and beautiful, and Venice, his native
city, soon became famous for a peculiar
variety of point lace called Point de Ven
ice, a rose or raised point which supplied 6
favorite material for the large ruffs then
in fashion.
Point de Venice continued to the favor
ite wear of the fops and dandies of the
period until Colbert introduced the manu-
facture of point lace into France in the
reign of Louis XIV, when Point d 'AlencoI
very soon equaled and then surpassed its
far famed Italian rival.-Chambers' Jour
