COUNTESS TAKES
Up LACE MAKING
ART IN FRANCE
Society Leader Reviving Industry
on Large ScaIe-Benefting
Hundreds of Women.
BY MARQUIS DE CAsTELLANE.
Special Cable to The American.


PARIS, July 12.-Thanks to the in
itiative of one of our leading young
society matrons, the Countess de Mar
mier, the hand lace industry is about
to assume its old ascendancy in
France.
Madame de Mariner, who is a
member of one of our old ducal fam
lilies, has collected the very best spec
linens Of old French lace, and has
given an exhibition Some of our
most distinguished women have I'M
dertaken to help her in this national
revival Of lace,
The idea was suggested to Nine.
de Mariner by Queen Margherita of
Italy, who has collection of old laces
said to be the finest in the world.
Seeks Specimens in Tombs.
Her Majesty has made a thorough
study of the history of lace. She even
went so far as to visit the tombs of
the ancient converts of Italy in search
of specimens.
Her object was not merely artistic
attraction, but also to find work in
their own homes for Italian women.
Inspired by this noble example, the
Countess de Mariner is doing the
same for France, but on a much larger
scale.
Toward the end of the eighteenth
century lacemaking reached its zenith
in France. Valenciennes alone en-
ployed many hundreds of thousands
of women. When Napoleon III had
himself declared Emperor only two
old lace makers could be found in
that town.
Machine Product Not Liked.
Bergue, Lille Bailleul and other
northern towns took it up, but ma
chine-made lace has never been pop
ular in France.
Now Nine. de Mariner is establish
ing lacemaking Centers wherein the
best old French lace is made. 1t is a
gigantic work which viii give pleas
ant and profitable employment to all
women desiring it.
This young woman, brought up
among those who labor not, neither do
they spin, issuing from the most friv-
olous Paris society, viii become the
savior of many of her poorer coun-
trywomen.

dismissed il as a whim, others took II
seriously for several reasons. one Of

which was comfort. 1t is because OF
the latter that a large majority of

gone TO be in fashion. Wherever the
the great dressmakers In America
Congregate one hears more talk about
this large waist line than any other
feature OF fashion. We are not con-
fronted with a theory, but a condI-
tton, and the dressmakers all seem 70
be delighted over It. To give an idea
of how rapidly this fashion has been
taken hold of BY those VINO make any
attempt to dress according to the
standards Of the day, one dressmaker
said that the normal waist line was
80 inches among her customers. But
"a was getting to be nearer the aver
age. She said that women with a a.
bust measurement have a 80 waist
measurement; that exceedingly thin
women made no attempt to draw In
their Corsets. but merely wore them
as a support as one would put whale
bones In gown, not to repress or
straighten the figure. I took up the
question with many dressmakers and
found the situation alike wherever

PARIS, July 12.-Makers Of fashion
DEGREES are now concentrating their at
tention upon women's stockings. This
is probably accounted for by the fact
that the new style gowns make the
stockings about the most conspicuous
part Of women attire.
Hosiery bearing embroidered snakes
birds, butterflies and even notices have
come into vogue
Most of the stocks are pink, although
some are white, and even a few pur-
pie, and green ones are seen. Those
bearing the reptilian decorations are so
marked that IL would appear that the
snakes are twined about the leg head

other precious jewels are also used for
decorative purposes. Some women wear
slippers with the heels so high that II

pearls, rubies and diamonds.
