The series, Heroes of the Reforma-
tion," published by g. p. Putnams Sons,
will be extended by the addition of vol
ume containing the biographies of two
men who played very prominent parts In
reformation history, but who were not In
the front rank. The first of these Is Bal
thasar Hubmaier, who was the theologian
of the Baptist party In Germany and
Switzerland. Humbaier received most
contemporaneous treatment by the anti
Baptist party. but in no way deserved it,
and therefore 1t is a particular satisfac-
ton to be able to announce that the Rev.
Henry c. Vedder, d. D., professor Of
church history In Grocer Theological semi
les the biography Of Hubmaier. 1t Is also
arranged to bring out at the same time.
and in the same volume, a biography of
Faustus Socinus. who was the theologian
of the Unitarian party in reformation
times. The author of this biography will
be the Rev. Alexander Gordon, principal of
Memorial hall, Unitarian Home Mission

The London Academy recently sent to

recently published works Of fiction, Miss

ed. Until recently designs in Honiton lace
have been inferior to good Brussels; gar
lands and bouquets OF natural flowers
were put together without much idea or
knowledge of composition. The work of
schools of design and international exhi-
billions has done much to improve Honi-
ton. For instance, needle work ''reseau'
has been substituted for net. In parts OF
Devonshire excellent duchesse lace is
made.
The revival of lacemaking in Ireland has
brought out some very individual work.
Though the applique and cut cambria
work of Carrickmoss should more correct
ly be called embroidery, 1t looks like lace
and deserves passing notice. Whether APP
pliqued on net or cut out with a ground
of brides, 1t Is worked on muslin. The
pattern Is traced with close sewing, and
the muslin Is then cut away outside the
outline.
II 1t should be asked by what signs imi-
tatfon laces can be detected. the answer
must be to some extent a negative one.
Machine-made lace Is not made with loop
ed stitches like needle-point lace, nor has
1t the effect of plated threads as in pill
low lace. Where neither of these easily
recognized features can be discovered, the
piece Of lace may be presumed to be imi-
tation. AS positive indications. 1t may be
observed that the "toile" OF machine lace
is often found to be ribbed, like the
ribbed texture OF knitted stocking, and
that whereas old needle and pillow lace
is always worked with a linen thread.
machine lace Is very generally made of
cotton.

Genoese guipure In that the tape is woven
separately and then tackled to the pattern.
Maltese lace originated in Genoese pillow
lace. All Brussels pillow lace, like Genoese
and unlike other Flemish laces, has the
"reseau" worked in separately and not
made in one piece with the pattern on the
pillow.
The long threads that form the "toile'' OF

Flemish laces, since the pattern and ire

A curious lace made at Antwerp Is called
''potten KANT" or pot lace. 1t Is always
decorated with pot of flowers. In former
days no Antwerp woman's cap was con-

England never developed needle lace
making to any degree. The earliest Eng
lish attempt at the art was the sixteenth
century, where 1t. took the form of linen
cut-work. Much of 1t may still be found
in old English homes. During the sew
enteenth century pillow lace-making was
introduced by Flemish refugees and be-
came an industry of considerable import
ance. Honiton lace is an English pro-
duct, though the method of making 1t Is
identical with the Flemish. In earlier
times the pattern was worked on a pill.

"brides." Some initiating of this was
made at Alencon, where point lace with
"reseau'' ground was first invented and
chiefly made. Point lace with "brides' was
never made in Flanders, but toward the
end of the eighteenth century both Brus-
sells and Venice adopted the "reseau"
background for needle point. Though pill
low laces were first made with brides"
the various kinds are to be distinguished
from each other chiefly by the construc-
ton of their "reseau."
Two kinds of pillow lace are distinguish
ed. In the one the pattern is worked by
itself on the pillow and then the "reseau'
ground worked in afterward to fit around
1t. TO this class belong "punto di Milano,"
Brussels pillow lace and Honiton lace. In
the other the lace Is made all in one piece

plique."
A later and better style Of Brussels lace
is "duchesse' In this the pattern Is
grounded entirely with pillow-made
brides" and the ''reseau" Is altogether
absent. The designs are therefore more
continuous and often excellent. OF Brus-
sells needle-point, the latest Point de

grounded not with manufactured net. but
with its own "reseau."

Mechlin and Valenciennes are two other
well known Flemish pillow laces. The
"cordonnet'' of Mechlin LACE is fiat silky
thread; the 'reseau" has always a hexa-
gonal mesh. The most characteristic pat
tern of Mechlin is floral, forming the edge,

The substance of the pattern Gas con-
trasted with the groundwork is the
'toile' "Reseau' refers to the network
ground in which the pattern is sometimes
set. When there is no "reseau" or net
ground, different parts Of the pattern are
usually connected by slender stalks or ties
called brides" which are often adorned
with knots or thorns called 'picots."
These latter sometimes decorate the edge
of the pattern. The "cordonnet" Is the
thin thread or cord often outlining the
pattern. The cord or gimp is sometimes
overcast with stitches, and then 1t is call
ed "guipure" "Guipures' are frequently
used for outlining heavy laces. The word
is properly used only to designate laces
whose pattern consists of cord or tape
connected by brides" "a jours' is the
open ornamental work introduced in in
closed spaces.

In France, under Colbert, the celebrated
minister of Louis XIV, the importation
of foreign lace was forbidden on account
of the great extravaganza in its use.
This resulted in the establishment of
factory at Alencon, which at first copied
almost exactly the Italian point, but
later developed a style of its own, in
which the patterns became smaller and
more delicate, and needlework "reseau"

lace is considered by most experts the

Styles In lace have varied from century
to cetnury, just as styles in, other arts
have changed, but 1t is usually not diff
cult to trace the variations. In what are
called Renaissance" designs lace patterns
attained their greatest elegance. But these
designs suffered from the simplicity
preached by Rousseau, and the art itself
was almost destroyed by the French revo-
luton. Only in Belgium did lacemaking
survive the shock, but even Belgium lace
making never completely recovered. About
1910 machine-made net was invented in
England, and its use did much to prevent
the revival Of the old way of making lace
Since the invention and Improvement Of
machine-made lace. almost all expecta-
lions of a return to handmade lace on a
large scale have been abandoned, and lace
making as a handicraft has almost en-
tirely disappeared, never to return.

Before 1910 all lace could be divided into
two kinds-point and pillow. Both origi-
mated In Italy. Before mentioning the
most famous Of these laces, brief ac-
count showing how to distinguish them
and defining the common terms used in
lacemaking will be necessary. Dutton &,
Co. have just published a book called

which makes the vocabulary of the art
quite simple. With the difference between

oNsERvATIvE in attire. men do
" not rapidly adopt new ideas or fads
in garments or accessories. and thus
" escape much trouble, expense and
- change of attire. The colored shirt
IL triumphantly to the fore. When,
last summer, a man who occupies in lite
nature the place held before the footlights
by matinee idols was married In a colored
shirt, much comment was raised thereby.
But the unerring instinct which makes his
books so reliable did not desert him when
he came to choose his wedding garments.
He was right, as usual. Colored shirts
were in evidence long time before they
were accepted as current attire. Slowly
they became an established fashion until
now, from daylight until dark. a shirt with
some design to relieve its erstwhile spot
less white is accepted and acceptable.
In connection with the shirt question is
the collar problem. Every one, both wear
er and observer has liked the high collar
turned down all around. And 1t has seemed
a peculiarly appropriate finish for colored
shirts. But here, mark you. there is
line drawn. Wear your colored shirts until
the shades Of evening fall, be welded In 1t,
II that ceremony occurs before s o'clock:
but draw the line here. The double collar
or the high collar turned down all around
Is a neglige collar 1t does not appear to
advantage at afternoon teas, even. unless
one Is obliged to go in sack coat on the
way home from the Office. OF course, there
are men who wear these collars anywhere
and everywhere. But, then, there are men
who wear Tuxedo coats and red ndckties
at evening weddings.
Collars High or Medium.
The straight collar of medium height.
closed in front, or the standing collar with
the ends turned down in front were said by
an authority to answer all the purposes of
formal attire, either in the day or evening.
But, as a matter of fact, most men look
best In the very tallest collar they can wear
and, although it is no doubt the excellent
philosophy of comfort which they practice
that makes them wear collars with corners
turned down, yet it is to be regretted that
such collars should be worn under any cir
cumstances. Turned down corners on wo-
mems collars to show a soft. white throat
might be permissible. But in this world
of contradiction, when a woman who has
a pretty throat wears a linen collar, 1t is
the highest and highest she can get, while
men, whose greatest beauty Is certainly
not their necks or Threats, take the turn~d
over corners with avidity. Vanity may be
a falling. But weil-directed vanity which
makes either women or men study and
