rs everybody knows. the process is q
most tedious and trying one as well as
one which requires great skill.
The braid lnces are a compromise be-
tween real and machine made laces,
ana IL well executed they are very
beautiful as well as valuable. The real
lace stitches are used in this work 10
weave together the braid which forms
the design. Our illustration is very
fine example of the Battenburg or Re
naissance lace. Lace centerpieces over
white cloths are very dainty and are
used now quite as much us the EN-.
broIdered ones.
This kind of lace is made over dc
sign stamped on cambria. The braid is
made to follow the lines of the pattern
The design Of this centerpiece is very
rich one, and the braid is so closely
laid that there Is not as much work on
the piece rs one might Imagine. The
fine linen center, n delicate filmy piece
of French lawn. is basted over the
plain center Of the cambric, and the
braid is then basted over the lines or
bars of the pattern. The bastlng of
this work must be done with great
care. Lay the braid on the pattern and
sew 1t through the center with rather
fine stitches. When this is all fastened
to the cambric backing, the lace stitch
es are woven into the spaces between
with linen thread, thus uniting the
whole into one delicate fabric. The
spider web work is usually made to I'LL
in the background spaces. and the
more complicated stitches are used In
the spaces of the design.
The foundation of the lace stitches is
buttonhole work, and nearly all the
stitches are notifications of it. The
edge of the design which touches the
linen is buttonholed all the way
around after the cambria is removed
from the back of the completed lace by
ripping out The basting. 1t is evident
that new fabric is made, with the
exception of the linen center.
Many of the finest needle point laces
nre made after this plan-that is, the
design Is marked on fabric, and the
mesh is built upon 1t. but Independent

An amusing story is told of a New
England minister who often speaks in
behalf Of certain charity in which he
is greatly interested. He has fine
voice and graphic way of telling In
cidents both humorous and pathetic,
SO that his hearers are often moved
TO laughter or to tears"
At the close of one meeting. at which
he had spoken with great effect, and
large gain for the charity had been
the direct result, little old lady ap.

A woman would often insure greater

study of her gown and how to put 1t

She would give expression and indl-
viduality to her dress. All should
know the colors that suit them, but
they must bear in mind that what is
becoming ut seventeen may not suit at
seyen-and.twenty and is very likely to
look grotlsque at seven-and-thirty.
Many women who. keeping in their
minds the Ideal OF youth, follow in the

The Antionitv of the malice.


Strictly defined, the ballet is properly
a theatrical exhibition of the art Of
dancing in its highest perfection, com
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
II was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. d. 1900, the court Of Turin in that
day making especial use of it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
It, The ballet was first introduced in
France in the reign of Louis XIII, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc
casionally took part in its dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet
appeared dexterously in combination
with the other theatrical acts and is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once NEUROLOGICAL, allie
gorical, fantastic, warlile and pasto-
raj" The reader will not be slow to
observe that its development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight of these conditions.
About the year 100 women made
their first appearance in the ballet
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but no
woman ballet dancer Of any note ap-
peared until 1890.

Comets and Women.

The analogy between comets and wo-
men once formed the subject Of the
following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; so do women. Comets
are incomprehensible, beautiful and &C.
centric; so are women. Comets shine
with peculiar splendor, but at night are
most brilliant; so are women. Comets
are enveloped with q lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
so are those Of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets confound
the most learned when they attempt
to ascertain their nature; SO do women.
Comets equally excite the admiration
Of the philosopher and Of the clod Of
the valley; so do women. Comets and
women are therefore closely analogous,
but, the nature of each being inscruta-
BILE, all that remains for US to do is to
view with admiration the one and to

mene1ek and the m,..,orary.

A story is told Of an attempt made by
a Swedish missionary to obtain foot
hold In Abyssinia. No sooner had he
begun to preach than he was brought
before King MeRelek, who asked him
why he had left his home In Scandi-
navia in order to come to Abyssinia.
The missionary promptly replied that
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews. Are there no Jews in your
country?' asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were
few. "And in all the countries that
you have passed through did you find
no Jews or heathens" the king con-
tinued. "Jews and heathens," the mis-
sionary admitted "are plentiful"
"Then," said Mehelek, "carry this man
beyond the frontier and let him not
return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between
his country and mine"
