A oHINAMAN ON LACrNG.

Here is what one Chinaman says in the North
China Daily News" about "Corsets Against Small
Shoes:
What is the use OF binding the feet? It is of
the tightening the waist among you
Europeans. Do you tighten the waist for com
fort? No Is II to make one look taller or shorter?
No Then what is It for? It is for beauty. II is
to catch the eyes Of men So is foot binding. They
both for the benefit Of men. Foot binding does
not do as much harm waist tightening
When many Of your men have written against
the harm OF waist tightening and not succeeded,
how few Of your women think to put a stop
to our ancient custom? You have many medical
women Why do they loosen their waists be-
fore they ask our women to loosen their feec?
Your enlightened Christian women should begin
at home by forming anti-waist tightening So

RICH ADJUNCT TO A WARDROBE.
LACE is AMONG THE MOST FASHIONABLE
TRIMMINGS OF TEE SEASON

Lace plays such prominent part in the
wardrobe OF every woman OF fashion that this end
of the century may be correctly designated as the
reign OF lace. History reveals the fact that a
century and a half ago It lace not learning,
that kept women from their domestic duties. From
palace to cottage the deft fingers OF noblewomen
and peasants wove the exquisite fabrics whose
price is to-day literally above rubes.
The beautiful raised point of Venice. Spanish
point, point dAlencon the bobbin lace of Milan
and Genoa, the guipure of Flanders and the early
thread laces of England all go to prove that the
love Of lace developed to passion in the sixteenth
century From the earliest its history is inter-
woven with that of the wearers of the purple. and
the aesthetic of wealth to-day prizes her
laces far above her rare jewels.
1t is an art in itself be able to identify lace,
and a woman who distinguish HonitOn from
Maltese Flemish from Italian is a connoisseur
Of no mean order.
There are in this city some of the most wonderful
collections of lace in the country, and perhaps in
the world. and many New-York women have in
