the nose, leaving the mouth and low
er part of the face uncovered This
saves the trouble of taking 1t off or
lifting it when it is necessary to take

in this way.

the beautiful, lace making will endure.
There is no reason why American lace

American girls who have taken up
lace making and have been ambitious
and have had their heart in their
work, have made surprising progress.
Some of them, in filet lace make parts
of the mesh just as well as do the
most expert lace makers of Europe.

rible carnage In the city.

battle came after Il had RACED for more
than thlrty-six hours. The 18th French
Regiment OF the line, coming from Givet.
marched into town TO the tune OF the
MarseillAise. Shot and shell fell around
them. but they were unmindful OF the
fact that any moment their lives might be
snuffed out
The French soldiers, alas, arrived too
late. They insisted upon a continued de-
tense Of the town. but the Belgian garri-
son was worn out and many Of the BEL
Eian soldiers in the city had been wound
ed or killed. There was nothing TO do but
to retreat. and this was done with As
much dispatch and orderliness as posi-
BILE. Some Of our men. however, fell into
the hands Of the Germans.
The shells used by the Germans IN
their attack on the forts were the largest
that ever were used in battle, according
to a corps Of French engineers who were
in the regiment that walked into the city
amid the murderous hail.
The German craftsmanship was won
