THE GRAND BRACE.
Pathetic Plea of the Bibulous Head
of the House Next
Morning.

One of the Bohemian citizens of the town
went home the other night after having
donned pair of skates that would have slid
him over an Arizona desert with the mer.
curry bubbhng out of the top of the thermom.
eter He had no recollection of how he got
home, and even the next morning he was
not certain whether he was on storm
tossed Atlantic liner or making leap from
a balloon minus a parachute. He went
down to the breakfast table with enough wet
towels wrapped around his head to make
turban for the mahdi. His wife met him
with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him Of his
conduct the night before, however.
MY dear" she said, "did you know that
you came very near killing US all when you
went to bed last night?"
Nope" said her husband, thickly, as he
felt his hot forehead.
well, you did. You knocked over the
babys cradle. Then you blew out the gas
and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do
you think of that?"
Her husband is usually resourceful man
but the fumes of many cocktails taken the
night before somewhat clouded his intellect
He made grand brace and tried to look pa
thetic.
"M'love," he said, as ray of inspiration
burst through his foggy brain, wasn't
here to die with Washington Post.

OLD LACES.

1t is delightful to think that the finest
stitches which are employed at Venice,
Alencon and Argentan, when these
places were at the height OF their glory
in the sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles, are not a forgotten art. BY
means of microscopes and patient toll
on the part of the workers, the method
of making the delicate effects has been
rediscovered and is used in the factories
of to-day.
1t was linen, embroidered and cut
work, sometimes combined with what
is now known as drawn-thread work,
from which the laces of to-day evolved.
The cut-work was made by the nuns
when practically all industries were
carried on within the walls of the con-
vent. From the darned netting to the
lace with light grounds, such as are
used now, is an easy transition; then
the beautiful stitches in the air." as
distinct from stitches worked on firm
ground, was made, and the evolution of
lace was complete.
Should one go into a lace shop now
and ask for "a pretty winter lace" "a
nice length of spring lace" CT "a use
full autumn variety" the seller would
doubtless think the designing pur-
chaser was a lunatic. In the reign of
Louis XIV, however, no such idea would
have entered his head, for so popular
was lace that the fabric was specialized
in this manner. Argentan and Alencon
rather thick and massive laces, for in
those days the designers were still I'M
der the Venetian inflCence-were
called winter" laces; the fabrics OF
England and Mechlin, on the other
hand, were summer" laces.
