prowess to the German hussars in a
fight with the Russian Cossacks, pro

LACEMAKING.



Lacemaking Is by no means so old an
industry as most persons suppose
There Is no proof that 1t existed previ-
Gus to the fifteenth century, and the
Oldest known painting IN which 1t ap-
pears Is portrait Of a lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Cas-
paccio who died about 1928. The leg
end concerning the origin of the art is
as follows.
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to a young and beauti-
ful girl of one of the isles Of the la
COON. Industrious az she was beauti-
full. the girl made a new net for her
lover, who took 1t with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui-
site petrifed wrack grass. which he
FASTENED to present to his fiancee. But,
war breaking out, the fisherman was
pressed into the service Of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar-
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her But while absorbed In
following the intricate tracerY of the
wraek grass she began to tgiat and
plat the threads weighted with small
beads which hung around her net. Lit
tie by little she wrought an imitation
of the petrifieation. and thus was Gre
ated the bobbin lace.
