An Ancient Industry That Was Rcviv-

The lace OF Venice has been cclebrat'

/ originally by nuns within the walls
OF converts for ecclesiastical garments.
Then. with the fall Of The Venetian
republic. the converts were closed aud
the lace industry ceased to exist for
an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Marglieritn. aft
erward queen of Italy. took measures
to revive H. especially as means OF
providing employment for Venetian
women. At present there are several
schools. subsidized by the government.
In which the art is taught,
The pupils are women of all ages.
