The First Lace.

There is a legend that the first lace
was made by girl who preserved a
beautiful bit of seaweed by catching
all the dainty parts Of leaves and
stems to a piece of linen with fine
thread. The most expensive lace
manufactured today is valued at $4,000
yard. Such lace is made, however,
in very small quantities 1t is in imi-
tation of "old point" and the thread
used is the finest filigree silver. the pat
tern being thiclily incrusted with dia-
monds. The price of this trimming is
about $40 an inch. The high prices
which the fine laces command are, OF
course, occasoned by the careful work
manship that is required In their man
ufacture. Beside the thread Is very
expensive, an ounce of Flanders
thread having frequently been sold at
$40 pound. But this quantity can be
turned into lace worth 5000. At sale
of lace which was held recently in
Brussels point d'applique lace flounce
brought more than $1,000, while some
old Venetian point was sold for $40 an
inch.

Momen Who Smoke.

It is an open secret that Princess
Louise, Duchess Of Argyle, the most
artistic of the royal family, is a de
votee to my lady Nicotine. The fash

social life, and must rank as a Bohe-
mian among all women who worship
ped Mother Grundy.
But now, so quickly do social fash
ions change, there is no black mark
against the woman who likes her little
Whit No longer need she retire to
her private room, and stihe the smoke
by heavy perfumes. On the contrary,
one cannot dine now at any West End
restaurant without seeing at the little
tables women who smoke with their
coffee without any self-consciousnes
or air of effrontry. One man tells an
amusing tale of lady who came into
his shop a few days ago, and said
that she wanted to try some of his
best kinds Of cigarettes. He submit
ted five different brands. and she sat
down there and then and spent a quar-
ter of an hour sampling their qualities,
finally giving a substantial order for
those liked best.
Another proof of the prevalence Of
this habit among women is that there
is hardly a woman's club in London
which does not have a smoking room.
The Empress club" in Dover street,
has several smoking rooms, and it is
sight which somewhat impresses a
male visitor to watch 80 or 40 of the
smartest women in London enveloped
in quite a haze of tobacco smoke, as
they recline on various lounges with
which their den" is filled in attitudes
of ease upon the luxurious couches.-

The Passion of Giving.

Giving becomes a disease 10
time" remarked West Philadelphia
woman who has had some experience
in very practical forms of charitable
work. ut is delightful to most of us
to be assured that some deed of ours
has given great pleasure or done much
good. Indeed, it gives us more salts
faction than many deeds acted out
from the most purely selfish motives,
and will appeal to us after these more
selfish pleasures cease to please. 1t
takes a terrific hold on many people.
Women who have been able to give
literally have continued after they
had nothing of value, sending silly,
worn.out finery that could not pos
sibly be of use to anybody. But they
have tasted the JOY of comforting ben
eflts, of receiving gratitude, and they
simply can't deny themselves. Why,
people have stolen that they might
not have to give up the pleasure of
bestowing gifts. Nothing can exceed
the lengths to which this passion for
giving will carry the victims.

worn always as a summer shoe by the
best dressers. Heels will be lower the

thankful, although it is a noticeable
fact that a woman wearing high heel
shoes will seldom admit that they are
uncomfortable.
