said to contain the famous point de Brus- sells shawl once owned by Eugenie. Mrs. Hicks-Lord keeps all of her treasures locked up in the vaults of a safety de- posit company, and as she never goes into society nowadays, 1t is difficult to name her possessions with any degree of accur- acy. This shawl has been valued at $3O 900. Eighty experts worked on it for a year. and the Empress Eugenie wore it but three times. Since then it has never been worn.
 Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt owns some fine bits of point d 'Alencon, one of the costliest laces in the world. The reason of the great cost is due. of course to thel amount of intricate labor required. First, the design is drawn by an artist and then engraved on copper plate, from which it is printed on long strips of parchment Pieces of linen are attached to the parch- ment and the pattern is traced with thread. The ground netting of the lace is then worked out More than twenty experienced hands are required to do their several kinds of work before the tiniest bit of point d'Alencon can be pro- duced Some of the lace has brought as much as $r600 yard, but this is an ex- ceptionally high price.
 It can be seen from this that the fad of lace collecting is a most costly one, and possibly only to those who have limit less income.
