WHAT. n REAL c
I Question Put to tho Appraisers OF tho
New York Custom House

I Question Put to tho Appraisers OF tho
New York Custom House
A curious question has just been set
tied by the board of appraisers of the
custom house of New York, says an eX-
change. Tho question Isl as to what
constitutes lace-in what The distin-
gushing mark of lace, as different from
othcr thin fabrics, consists. Ii, arose
from . large importation of dress goods
in what is called NETS" or drapcry
llces. If these were true laccs they
were subject to a higher duty than if
they were simply thin fabrics. 1t was
claimed by the importers hat true laccs
arc cdCings in narrow widths, used for
~!l0uncingS and ornnmcntation, but that
"idc nets when sold by the yard and
sewn up into gowns arc not laccs but
dress goods, like silk or any other
fabric. Thus the question arose as to
all those d~iaphanous fabrics of which
evening gowns are madc-arc those lac
Or are they not lace? What constitutes
lace, anyway, the material of which it
IS woven, the way in which it is woven
Or the decoration? a great dcalo Of patient
;!roping about after information was
necessary before these be wildcrcd men
could find their way in the clear light
Of. the knowledge of those things in
which women live and move and
have their being. But they did
get into it at last, and this is
the decision they set down, by the light
of which any oma will be able to
tell ut once whether she has true lace
in her possession or not. The one char
actcristic of lace that distinguishes it
from all other fabrics lies not in the
material of which it is made, because
that may be silk or linen or cotton.
Neither does it lie in the decorations that
are wrought upol it, because the same
nccdIcworl1 is often put pom other
iabr,c5. Bat the Onc characteristic of
iacc-the real l~"crn2ss, S % to speak
lies in the way III which the. net itself
lii woven. "Thc hcXaTonal mesh" says
the report OF the authorities, sis the
essential feature, a3 it Is the distin-
guishing characteristic of lace, the
process of its formation being akin to
knitting, as it Is tho natithcsis of wcav-
ing. The presence of the ~hcXaGoa.l
mesh in n textile fabric is. conclusive, of
the fact that it is n lace"
Clearly this gives n woman exact data
from which 70 build mp her knowledge
of lacas. The hex"gonal structure or
lace mesh is what makes lace, whether
the fabric is WIDE or narrow. finished
or unfinished at the edge. This makes
lace Of al the nets used for. gowns or
trimmings, If they have the open-work
structure. Chiffon is not lace, but fish
net and brussels net arc. Tullc is lace.
but tho shcerest null is not. The flce
veilings are properly lace wells, except
tho grenadines, which are not, no matter
bow heavily they may be edged.

The Midnight Adventure OF an Eminent

+ A few nights ago Judge ---. weary
with his days work, laid his head upon
his downy pillow and was soon host in
sleep. When he gets asleep he can gen
orally be depended upon TO keep quiet
until breakfast is ready Upon this
night, however, shortly after the lonely
midnight hour he was disturbed by
some unusual sounds. He rubbed his
eyes TO make sure that he WAS awake.
The sounds were not loud. They could
not come from a key saw. AS they came
to his ear they We're: ''ChiclS, chick.
chick, thud. chick. chick, chick, thud."
He surely had never heard the likes be-
fore. 1t was evident to him that the
sounds We're mufhed The Judge is a
brave man, and forthwith he arose and
put on his pants and slippers.
At this iuncture he heard a louder
thud as of something heavy dropping,
and 1t was evident that there was more
than one burglar for there was a sup
pressed laugh and voices were distin-
9nished. Should he call upon his wife
for aid, or should he show himself A
man and meet the sound alone? lie
feared his wife might complicate the
case and SO after examining mis- re
volver and placing it in his hip pocket.
he took his trustv rifle and started in
quest Of game. he crept stealthily on
until he detected a light shining under
the dining-toom door
1t is a very different thing to meet a
party OF burglars in ones own house
from what it is to sit upon the bench
and pass Judgment upon them. His
honor paused and the Precipitation
started. Finally he mustered courage
to say, in his most authoritative way,
Who's there?"
'sOnlv us" was the feminine response.
With his rife barrel he pushed the
door aside and confronted his oldest
daughters best Young man. who stood
with an enormous watermelon in his
hand. Behind came the Judges lovely
daughter with bowl of cracked ice.
Evelyn and her sehoolmam. who is
visiting her had been 10 the theater
with their gentlemen escorts The
night was warm and all had agreed
that glass of lemonade and piecA Of
Watermelon would be refreshing.
Evelyn's best young man was therefore
pressed into service 10 chip the ice and
assist in extending the hospitalities Of
the house.
His honor, wearing an embroidered
night shirt and trousers, without vest,
coat or stockings, at the sight Of the
melon, haSnly stocked his arms. and
the young folks agree that the way he
conducted himself with regard to their
lunch would have made eulied pa son
