trimmed handkerchief, in Duchesse or

A lace handkerchief says the New
York Times, seems inexpensive at the
highest price, when one thinks of the
immense amount of work in it. A wo-
man may work from six months to
year on the lace on one of these hand
kerchiefs. Not working steadily, to
be sure, for the lacemaking is so try

there are a few people who make a

willing to pay large prices for simple
things, even if of the finest quality.
