Lenend d seIaIan Laeemakers.

Once upon a time there was a girl,
a dark-eyed Venetian girl. who had a
lover-all Venetian girls had, once
upon a time. She was a lacemaker, he
was a sailor; and one day when he
had just returned from the Indian seas
she showed him the lace she had been
making. Thereupon he tossed into her
lap a wonderfully delicate piece of
coral and told her It was lace the mer-
maids wove in their caves deep under
the sea.
And when he had gone again she set
herself to weave her bridal veil; after
the pattern Of the coral she wove.
F1lmy seaweed, iuted shells, tiny sea
horses and starfish grew under her
hand until at last the veil was finished
and it was time for her lover to return.
This is a real story, so-he came back,
and they we're married, she in the veil
it had pleased her fancy to make.
Whether the wedding was a quiet one
or not, all Venice heard of the veil.
Queens and %princessesn sought her out
and point de Venise' became the
rage.-Vogue.
