With the French revolution Iacemak-
ing in France became almost a lost art.
for the patronage of the aristocracy
was almost indispensable. Napoleon
tried, though unsuccessfully, to revive
the industry.
Some of the best known styles of lace
are the point d'alencon, still made at
Alencon, or by workers who use it's
methods, and the point de venise, which
is still made, thanks to the interest
which Queen Margherita has taken in
encouraging Italian lacemaking, which
for time seemed almost a lost art. The
raised venetian point, one of the Oldest
specimens Of Italian workmanship, is
especially valuable, for it is more likely
TO be genuine old point than the lighter
specimens This is due to the fact that
earlier laces were made to stand a
good deal of rough wear on masculine
garments, as when women adopted the
wearing of lace and men discarded it
the fabric was made lighter and dain-
tier
Lace is made in two ways-needle
point and pillow lace. The needle point
IS made with needle stitches which
unite a pattern outlined in thread
upon a piece of parchment or paper.
The pillow. lace is woven on a frame on
which are upright pins outlining the de-
sign. Bobbins instead of needles are
used Old lace is made of fine linen
threads. but most modern limitations are
of cotton. which discolors and rots very
soon. Silk thread is also sometimes
used.
Some very fine specimens of modern
lace are now made in Ireland. where the
Countess of Aberdeen is doing her best
to foster the industry. The Irish peas
ant women learned the art from char
liable nuns in the Irish converts, who
saw in the manufacture a source of
livelihood for the poor women during
the terrible famine periods when there
was no work to do in the fields. The
peasants often walk 90 miles for the
opportunity to make a bit of lace which
when completed will only bring them
couple Of shiIlings for a weeks work.
Irish lace dealers often amass great
fortunes in a few years as a result Of
the enormous profits they make upon
the peasants work. The Princess of
Wales and the queen of England have
tried to encourage the Irish industry
] by wearing a great deal of the lace.

worn at present, is of no particular

\ URING the past season nearly all

- TTRTNG the past season nearly all
the fashionable hats and gowns
were in some way ornamented
with lace, and one hears great deal
about the dainty feminine touches i'm
parted to a costume by a bit Of the
delicate weblike material knotted here
OF jabbed there, the critic looking i'm
mensely wise and self satisfied. going
on his way rejoicing at having made so
apropos a remark
The fact is that lace was an article
for the adornment of masculine dress
in the long ago days when masculine
vanity blossomed out in hounced dou-
blets and feathered hats instead of in
coats Of eccentric cut and collars of
wonderful build. Gentlemen Of the time
of Henry III of France were the first
TO extensively use lace in trimming
their garments. 1t was not like that to
which we are accustomed now, but OF
a much cruder quality. Catherine de
Medici. the mother of Henry III,
brought a great quantity Of the laces
of Italy, then the great lacemaklng
country of the world and made them
fashionable at her court. To supply the
demand which her patronage had Gre
ated in the sycophantic court of France
she induced a famous Italian lacemak-
or, Ninciolo, to come to Paris and es-
tablish himself as a MANUFACTURED OF
the huge rufus of which Queen Cath
crime was the originator. Vinciolo col
lected and published a book Of his pat
terms and dedicated it to the queen.
All the ladies of her court seem to have
learned lacemaking, for it was one Of
the favorite employments of the maids
of honor, Catherine, with guileful dipio-
macy, probably reasoning that when
they were thus engaged they would not
be occupied in more reprehensible di-
versions, such as flirting with the king
or the young princes or spying for for
eign powers. all these being not unusu-
al with young court ladies of the time.
So Catherine set them all to making
laces for her under the direction of the
gifted Vinciolo. Most Of this work con
sisted of squares of fine embroidered
net. for in those days the best lace was
little more than that
