Getting Acquainted.

\ short time ago a hard head

what he considered the most i'm

statesmen. and he promptly re-
piled, "gettingacquainted He
meant. of course, that it was es-
Sential for his men to get out
and meet customers face to

But there is more than that in
his remark. and it applies to
other things than business.
There is nothing 50 elevating,
nothing that will do the human
race more good than to get ac-
quainted.
There is an old expires sion to
the effect that one-half of the

the fault Of the other half" but
it is unfortunate. If the one

the other half, both halves would

SNAPSHOTS OF INFORMATION.


II is curious to know that lace, now
almost the unique possession of wo-
men. owes its development If not its
actual existence TO men. When lace
was being slowly evolved from drawn
work the pOpes and great prelates Of
the church used IL on their altar vest
ments and robes. fostered and encour-
aged its production and paid large
sums for IL.
Later lace became an absolute es-
sential OF masculine attire in ruffs. in
collars, in sashes, in garters and even
as decoration at the shoe top. I'm
der the Stuarts the collection Of laces
became a passion of the court, and no
blemen were as frequently known for
their possession of rare laces as for
collections of valuable paintings or
gems.
