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 laoe
was produced. This triumph Of medieval
needlework was, however, scarcely so
much an invention as development Of a
separate inferior art called "lacis." This
was variety of cut or drawn work, in
which a pattern was formed by drawing
out threads from loose, coarse fabric, and
then fastening the loosened threads to
gether with needle.
Many books patterns for laeis and needle
point are still In existence, spreading over
the whole Of the Sixteenth century. OF
these the most ancient Is the German
Model Buch, which bears the date Of 1891.
Vinciolo, a Venetian, also published book
upon lace In 1899, 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 peculiar
variety OF point lace called Point de Ven

iayorite material for the large ruffs then
In fashion.

The Increase In the Number Of Glasses.
The rapid increase in the number Of

that we are at once driven to the conclu
sion that the human vision is now more
defective than ever before. But such Is
not the case. Formerly spectacles were
thought to be necessary only Tor the old,
and the idea Of children wearing glasses
was considered the greatest absurdity.
Fortunately this erroneous idea is fast
dying out. With the advancement OF
science and the discovery Of certain de
feets Of vision hitherto unknown, the pub
lie are becoming better educated and are
not slow TO apply the remedy when any
defect Of vision Is found to exist. But
