THE RESTORATION ERA

With Lace.

Was the Time When Men Were Adorned
With Lace.
From the Gentlernen's Magazine.
The Restoration era, being essentially the age
of "the dangling knee fringe and the bib
cravat, it was only natural that the stiff band
and the falling collar, which had been worn
under the tyranny of Puritan ascendency
should have given place to neckcloths or era.

briefly in dress it is difficult to comprehend the
mania which seized the breasts of fine gentle
men of the Caroline age for lace.
We find Pepys in 1862 putting on his "new
lace band" and recording in his "Diary" his

King William III, Notwithstanding his iron.
phlegnatic constitution, entertained genuine
Dutch taste for lace. SO much so, indeed that
his bills for that article in 1896 amounted to the
modest sum of e., 459 19s, q fad which would
have served admirably to point the moral of
the mob demagogue, had such people then ex-
listed. Among the more astounding items of
this bill appears the following: "Oue hundred

1t was in the streets Of Fredericksburg, as the
army was thrown across to attack Lee in his
impregnable position. Deep down in the hear
of every confederate on the lines that day was
pity for the men in blue driven forward to the
slaughter. Those repeated charges made
against that terrible stone wall at the base OF
Marye's Hill were not melted by bravery but
born OF reckless desperation and despair. Men
saw that there was not the faintest hope OF win
ming victory, but they charged and charged
and grew intoxicated at sight OF the awful
slaughter.
Shell and grape and canister and bullet
screamed and whistled and sang as never be-
fore or after. Die lines could not be kept
dressed under that fire. Men falling de- or
wounded pulled those yet unhurt down with
them in their fall. Here and there detach-
ments huddled together like frightened sheep;

not rally, though they turned their faces to the
foe and fought on.
