LACE LORE.

Lace proper only dates back to the
sixteenth century. and may be divided
into two classes. needlepoint, and
that which is produced by interweav-
Ing threads with bobbins on a pillow.
Needle point represents the transit
ton phase between embroidery on fine
linen and the making of lace as a
separate and valuable fabric, in which
both the ornament and the ground
work are produced by the worker.
The great impetus to, lace-making
In France, and the Low Countries was
given by Colbert, the famous minister
Of Louis Quartorze. who realized that
the prosperity Of the country depend
ed very much on the small paying in
dustries that the lower and middle
classes can produce In their own
homes.
The Revolution checked the lace
making trade. but Napoleon, with his
empresses Josephine and Marie Louise,
sought to revive 1t.
Chantilly lace, IL genuine, never
dates back further than the seven
teenth century. and black silk chan
tilly is all Of the eighteenth, and later.
Among the best known laces in Eng
land are Honiton, Northants. Bedford
and Buckinghamshire, varieties. Nee
dlerun laces are occasionally made in
small quantities In several counties.
This season Irish lace is in the as
cendancy. The chief Irish laces are

their construction. Panne is used per-

with embroidery, a contrasting color
used Tor the foundation. Broadcloth
trimmed with fur and lace constitutes
beautiful tea gown. It is cut prin-

bolero lis also edged With a narrow
binding of the fir which gives it

which has sash ends in front, fringed,

neck is cut v shape and finished with
a deep shoulder collar of old lace.
Dainty gowns are made of lace and
ribbon and hung over foundations of
silk the same color as the ribbon.
Cashmere makes an attractive tea
gown, and when-the light shades are
used 1t is well to bind the bottom with
black silk or ribbon to keep it clean.
A model that lends itself we'll to a

allow three-quarters to yard over

the extra piece the carpets will last
half as long again as they would
