ABOUT THE HANDS.
New York.


You would hardly think that the
state of the health would affect the
hand. Yet nowhere will sickness show
itself so quickly. The flesh seems to
shrink away and the knuckle bones be-
come pathetic. The skin, too, loses its
freshness and becomes pallid and dry,
or clammy, which is worse The clam
my hand is the most uncomfortable in
the world. 1t can only be treated
through the system, for it is caused by
some physical defect too deep for prob
ing. There are hands whose beauty no
amount Of hard work could destroy,
and hands which are so sensitive that
the ordinary duties of life affect them.
For such there is deal of protection
in the rubber gloves, which can be
bought in any size. They must be
large enough to allow full play to the
muscles and must be kept out Of hot
water or their usefulness is gone. They
can be worn in all branches of house
work except cooking and sewing.
AS for the nails, the woman who does
not have manicure set or at least the
few implements needed for the well
being of the nails is, or should be, an
exception. The number of well kept
| hands is growing each day. 1t is not a

sea, she gave pernanency to the beau

After Catherine de- Medici came the
lace loving Marie de- Medici and Anne
of Austria; then Louis XIV, a king in
ruffles. 1t was his prime minister, Col
bert, who induced a number of italian
and Flemish lacemakers to come to
France and establish themselves there
for the purpose of teaching their art.
They settled in several different towns,
but the lacemakers of Alencon soon
achieved pre-eminence, and to this
day it is point d'alencon that is most
priced and beautiful. OF the Italian
lacemakers those of Venice and those
Of Milan were the most celebrated, a
piece of old point de venise or point
de milan being almost priceless. Point

! GENESIS OF THE LACES !
WHICH ARE
: TICKLE FASHIONS LATEST FANCY
"Point" simply signifies

so called. "Point" simply signifies
stitch.
With the French revolution lacemak-
ing in France became almost 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 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
good deal of rough wear on masculine
garments, as when women adopted the
wearing of lace and men discarded 1t
the fabric was made lighter and dam
tier.
Lace is made in two ways-needle
point and pillow lace. The needle point
lis made with needle stitches which
unite a pattern outlined in thread
upon piece of parchment or paper.
The pillow lace is woven on 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 20 miles for the
opportunity to make a bit of lace which
when completed will only bring them
couple Of shillings 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 great deal Of the lace.

REMARKABLE WOMEN.

There are two unique women in the
British royal household last place
in the world where! one would look for
any sympathy with the new woman
hood. In the lord chamberlain's de-
partment the position of chimney
sweeper is held by a woman, and a wo-
man also holds the Office of statuary
mason. The church, too, has given the
onward movement its sanction, for we
find that woman in the Winchester
diocese has acquitted herself with great
credit as bellringer. The year before
last woman was elected as repre-
sentative of convocation on the court Of
governors of victoria university, Man
chester, England, the first instance on
record of woman holding such a post
in that country. 49,

NURING the past season nearly all
the fashionable hats and GOWNS

sNURING the past season nearly all
the fashionable hats and gowns
- were in some way ornamented
with lace, and one hears a great deal
about the dainty feminine touches inn
parted to a costume by bit of the
delicate weblike material knotted here
or jabbed there, the critic looking i'm
mensely wise and self satisfied, going
on his way rejoicing at having made so
apropos 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 fiounced 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 great quantity of the laces
of Italy, then the great lacemaking
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-
err, Vinciolo, to come to Paris and es-
tablish himself as a manufacturer of
the huge ruffs of which Queen Cath
crime was the originator. Vinciolo col
lected and published 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 diplo-
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.
A legend accounts for the origin of
Italian needle point lace. 1t is related
that Venetian peasant girl was pre-
scented by her fisherman lover with a
specimen Of petrifed seaweed that had
become entangled in his net, and that
shortly after. the lover being lost al

should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers: Use plenty Of foliages
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not use more than
two, or at the most three, different
kinds of flowers in one decoration. Arr
range your coIors to form bold con-
trast, or, better still, soft harmony.

show off the f1owers-not the vases that
