From the womans Home Companion.
The nomenclature OF lace is decided by
certain peculiarities of pattern, mesh OF
stitches that belong to Certain localities
and il is retained even when those locali-
ties have long ceased to produce their
distinctive fabrications. Valenciennes has
rot for many years wrought the laces that
bear its NAME their manufacture having
long since been transferred to Ypres, Bel
GUM. while the Chantilly laces are all
made at Bayeux.
The finest French laces are made in
Normandy. The cheaper ones come from
the Auvcrgne. which was the first French
province to produce pillow lace. Bayeux
with her tributary surroundings is the
largest and best producer OF black laces;
her Chantilly is Tar excellence the finest
ever made. Caen is also a center for black
laces. Normandy produces good black and
white blondes. Gulpures are made in the
AuNergne, but the finest come from the
Vosges. Minecourt furnishes fine point and
pillow lace. Brussels furnishes most of the
Belgian needle points, though East Flan-
dors. Brabant and Hainault now supply
large quantities. The old laces for which

though still much priced by connoisseurs.
This is also true of Malines (or Mechin)
lace and Nalenciennes. though the latter
Is returning TO favor. Bruges makes
round mesh Nalenciennes. not so beauti-
full as the lozenge ground. and coarser
qualities come from Courtral and different
parts of Flanders. Lille and Naenciennes
formerly belonged to the Netherlands.
which accounts for their early proficiency
in lacemdkin8
Flemish guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French laces
are the finest. in point of fabrication in
the world. Paris Is to a large extent an
emporium for Belgian laces. She is the
birthplace of fashions and novelties. and
dictates lace designs. keeping alive emu

be accorded the palm for black laces. while

CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS.

Use of the Frottoir and n Polish of
Beeswax and Turpenttne.
From the American Kitchen Magazine.
Much labor may be saved in the case OF
polished hardwood floors by the use Of the
"frottotr." which is simply heavy weight
covered with carpet, to which Is attached
a long handle. An enterprising little wo-
man, after a journey on the continent
where this implement is In general use, i'm
provised one by covering brick with car
pet and catching 1t in the clamp with a
long handle used for scrubbing brushes.
1t is unnecessary to buy patent polishes for
this process. Melt a quantity Of beeswax
over the fire and stir In turpentine until It
assumes the consistency of paste. This
polish is extremely infiammable and the
greatest care must be taken In mixing 1t
not to allow 1t to come in contact with the
fire. When about to use melt portion
over the fire and spread a thin layer over
the cloth-covered brick. Begin at one cor
ner and work sharply, taking an arms
length at time Let the new row overlap
enough to avoid showing a streak. much
less enduring way is to apply a thinner
polish with brush and rub with cloth
by hand. Sweep up all dust and wipe with
a moist cloth before applying the polish
Once or twice a year Is sufficient for such
a polishing II a thorough rubbing Is given
once week with a broom slipped In an old
cotton flannel bag.
Stained and vanished floors. after being
freed from dust, should be rubbed with
cloth dipped in crude oil, applying it as
thinly as possible and afterward rubbing
with broom incased as above. If the rug
IL not removed during the process un-
hook it and lay 1t back to avoid oiling the
edges.

TELL there are some girls who think moth

of sleeves, having them come out wrong
after all. and being dreaGfully cross all the
evening in consequence.
But the main point is that nearly all the
society girls that are taking this new fad
up doing it well. Scores of pretty
much beruffied frocks and elaborate shirt
waists this summer will bear testimony as
to that.
There is one interesting reason why this
new fad has come in. 1t is all because of
the ruff1es, tucks and general "fluffiness'' of
evening frocks 1t is said. A year ago all
the costumes were severe and close fitting.
1t was impossible for girl to make them
herself. Now that precise fitting is not
needed the society girl is having her
chance. and she Is certainly making the
most of 1t.
