The Handkerchief Came From Italy

A writer in a French review points
out that the handkerchief does not
come to us from China, as has been
generally believed. but from Italy. 1t
is only 800 years ago that the hand
kerchief of a Venetian lady was con-
sidered a great curiosity. The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re-
ceived with great favor at the court OF
France. Handkercliefs were then
made Of cambria or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry III. of France the sachet was
introduced The handkerchief was
taken into Germany little later and
was known as the "fazelletin," after
its italian name. Only persons Of
quality used it, and an edict in 1895
was published at Dresden interdicting
the use of the handkerchief among the
trading classes.-London Globe.

The investigations OF our commits

experience of European states with
the eXpedients we are to ropos for
virginia. From tax reports and from
various interviews, we have been able
TO see how All the other American
states have attacked the problems
which confront Virginia. but there are
no available sources from which we
can ascertain the practical workings
of certain important principles in Eng
land, France and Germany. An inves-
tisation on the grounds is necessary.
THE work of the commission has
reached the point where whatever rem.
edies Europe has discovered for the
evils of unequal assessment should be
applied. The material on the assess.
ment and taxation Of personal prop.
