the India and cheaper kinds o: wool
shawls, were handy articles TO have
around. At all events, by 1850 or so the
lace shawl had almost disappeared. Won
en- wearing them were considered little
out of the mode, cloakS and pelisseS nav
ing taken their place.
When the fashion was at its height the
dressmaker had TO work in concert with
the producer of the shawl, for the latter
was such an important feature Of the at
tire of fair woman that she could not
permit 1t to appear In any combination
that was not attractive.
It was no easy matter to handle the
shawl with comfort, for It was always
likely to catch on something. and as the
texture of the finer shawls was Of the
spiderlike variety, a tear was ever
menace that confronted the wearer.

or at the theater or of events In which
figured the worlds socially elite shows

Eugene had more TO do with the crea-
ton OF the fad for lace shawls than any
other woman. for when she went to
Paris from Spain she had learned to
wear the Spanish lace draperies with the
grace of u Spanish woman. SO after she
made her advent as the wife Of the brill
liant Napoleon III, then at the zenith
OF his power. lace shawls began to enjoy
most enormous vogue In the French
capital, and their rapid growth into favor
all over Europe was followed by their
introduction into the United States.
For a year only the most fashionable
wore them, then came a time that an
effort was made to reach the popular
priced market, and though really good
shawl never got to be sold cheap. they
were brought within the reach OF women
of moderate circumstances.
Llama. handmade chantilly and thread
lace were the most popular varieties. The
former. a wool and silk mixture. could be
made in qualities ranging In price from
SO to $1,000.
Some of the Llama lace shawls were
models Of spider like delicacy. Only
powerful magnifyinE glass could make it
possible to see the threads. Five hundred
dollars would buy a very fine specimen.
and even for half that price handsome
shawl could be obtained. When 1t came
to thread lace shawis there was simply
no limit that could be put upon the price
OF the quality.
It used to be a common thing for a
woman of wealth to place q carte
