Renewed Interest i'm Lace Is Shown
BY MARY MARSHALL.

tire!y ruin them for the normal
American male. He would sooner
wear celery leaf or a young onion
in his buttonhole than appear with
a lace-edged handkerchief. Yet the
fact is that lace was once worn more
by mon than by women. Even in
So comparatively recent a period as
the empire and directoire. men wore
lace iahots on thei: manly breasts and
delighted in their lace sleeve ruff1eS.
They were as good judges OF the com
parative merits of different sorts ot
lace. as they We're of cordlaiS or
liqleurS.
And So il is that at present lace
has been shown AS one OF the M
ishing touches Of the very manly
tuxedo suit that some women are
wearing in lieu of the conventional
evening frock There is lace )apoI
and there are lace sleeve frillS IN
some of the most attractive of these
suits.
Lace hardly seems consistent with
sports. and YET now and then one
sees a new sweater trimmed with
bands of WOODEN lace.
Hats, too. are showing the effect
of a renewed interest in lace. Last
season there were a few French hats
shown here with applique trimming
of natural colored lace. but this seem
ed not to make strong appeal to Amer
lean women Nothing daunted the
French milliners have offered more
of these lace-trimmed hats this sea
son-and now we like them.

LAVENDER
RACIAL ORlCIN-EnaIish.
SOURCE-An occunatien.

A person with imagination could
build up such roma antic and plausible
explanation of the origin of this fam
ily name that II seems a shame to
spoil the obvious.
However. the truth must he told to
the best of our ability. And the truth
is that neither the flower nor the color
indicated have the least thing to do
with this family name.
There is a couplet in the Legend
Of Good Women" which goes:
"tnvIe is lavender of the court alway
For she ne parteth neither night ne
day"
What. then, was a lavender? Re-
member how the letters "u'' and 'v"
were once so commonly interchange
able and you can guess 1t. The 'lav-
ender" was n "launderer" or '1aun-
dress; that Is. one who. 'laved. - or
washed, clothes then. as now. The
laundry was spoken of In the Mid
die Ages as the ''lavenderie." The
word. of course. traces it's ancestry
back through Norman French to
Latin.
The form Of the name Launder has
gone through exactly the same de-
velopment as our words 'launder" and
"laundry." while the variation of Ian
der has gone q step farther.
