COUNTESS TAKES
UPLACE MAKING
ART IN FRANCE
Society Leader Reviving Industry
on Large ScaIe-Benefting
Hundreds of Women.
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.
SpecIal Cable 70 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 Margherlta 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. ValenciennSs 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
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
gigantic work which will 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.

congregate one hears more talk about
this large waist line than any other

OF how rapidly this fashion has been

women made no attempt to draw in

LONDON, July 12.-No smart wom-
an can now afford to go to a country
house without few very beautiful
rest gowns" These were formerly
known as tea gowns, but they are
now so elaborate that they are worn
in the interval before dinner after d
days motoring or sport and are not
meant for the bedroom or boudoir.
Many Of the kimono rest gowns
come direct from Japan. and the de-
signs and colOring are gorgeous. Lady
Arlington, who is a mature beauty Of
the Oriental type, has ordered some
of these rest gowns, which are likely
to be the envy of her sex when she
goes visiting
one gown, made Of japanese crepe
de chine, is pale gray lined with
the softest wistaria mauve silk. Over
the gown are worked great dropping
sprays Of wistaria in mauve silk
shaded as delicately as a japanese
painting, the leaves and long, curling
tendrils being embroidered in pale
green silks as a contrast.
The arrangement OF these sprays is
wonderful and could only have been
carried out by an artist. The gown
is, of course, in kimono form, the
great bag sleeves being edged with
strand silk and silk tassels. Another
gown is of pale water blue silk, with
ragged chrysanthemums worked over
II In faint creamery pink wistaria
and leaves OF tender green and white
The palest shell pink doubleurs
give the finishing touches. Still an
other gown has the same pattern on

color scheme by means of couple Of
tail storks. which form part Of the

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's 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 few pur-
pie, and green ones are seen. Those
bearing the reptilian decorations are so
marked that II would appear that the
snakes are twined about the leg head
downward. Bands Of diamonds and
other precious Jewels are also used for
decorative purposes. Some women wear
slippers with the heels so high that it
seems they are walking on stills

with jewels One woman had the heels
of her shoes completely covered with
pearls, rubies and diamonds.
