their satisfaction in this supreme in

thick mass Of wet sawdust or a thfckly
folded wet cloth on the concave side

VENETIAN LAcEMAKERS.
The Methods By Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced.

Fabrics Are Rroduceu.
The lace of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. 1t was
made originally by nuns within the
walls Of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then. with the fall Of the
Venetian republic. the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870 the
Princess Margherita. afterward queen
Of Italy. took measures to revive it.
especially as means Of providing en-
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub
sidized by the government in which the
art is taught
The pupils are women of all ages

plump square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned strip Of paper

fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins. about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty TO fifty shuttles depend
from all sides of the cushion. and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity Of n typist handling the keys
Of her machine.
The process is so simple that 1t looks
like play. but the lace produced repre-

laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers of the women. but the exquisite
