A JEALOUS HUSBAND.
It was the day before the shooting sea
son began. Hunters were "pouring out of
Paris in all directions. Two might have
been seen leisurely proceeding toward the
Sceaux station, but coming from different
directions. Both were accoutered ele
gantly, from jaunty cap to leathern gait
ers ; both carried a fine gun and handsome
game-bag ; both remarked with satisfaction
the effect their costumes produced upon
the female hearts ; in short, both were Pa
risians and hunters. Full sixty years must
have been needed to grizzle the locks of
the one ; but twenty-three had passed over
the other's head.
The elder reached the station a few mo
ments ' before the other. He entered an
empty • compartment, but scarcely had he
done so when the door opened and the
younger hunter entered. They stared .at
each other for a moment, but it was the
elder who spoke first,
"My dear Boisgibert, I am delighted to
see you," he said, pressing the other's hand
with simulated warmth.
" And I, too, Prethibaut," returned the
young man, "am enchanted. What is it
Thingummy says now ? ' Thrice blessed
is it—'
Perhaps you mean ' Thrice blessed is't
to meet a friendly face,' " replied the
other.
. " Yea, that's it. Who was the fellow
that said it now ? It was — was — "
" Lumaitiue ? " asked the other, dryly.
"Ah, yes, that's the man — Lamartine.
Strange I couldn't think of it."
"■Very," replied Prethibaut. "But,
now I think ot it, De Mosset was the au
thor of the line."
" Yes, m he vra3," replied the other, col
oring ; "fa' one of my favorite authors,
you know."
Outwardly Prethibaut replied with a
grunt. Inwardly be said, " The same as
ever. AVhat an as-< the fellow is."
On the other 1y..; Boisgibert bit bis lip
and muttered, "Confound the old fool ! as
pedantic as ever."
These two gentlemen were just about to
make a reasonably long railway journey to
gether. T
After a lengthy silence, Prethibaut be
gan :
" I see you are ia a hunting rig. May I
ask you where you are bound ?"
"Yes: lam going to Verrieres. Fine
shooting at that chateau."
'Whit! Has Vaugiron invited "
Prethibaut interrupted, but suddenly
stopped.
"Yes, Vaugiron has asked me to come
down to Verrieres and open the hunting
season with him. And you — where are
you going, Prethibaut ?"
"To Verrieres.",- ■:■ ' . » :-.*
"What — you also?" Boisgibert'a tone
expressed astonishment, but certainly not
pleasure.
" Oh, yes. F_>r ten years I have opened
the season there. It wouldn't do for me to
miss one."
" How fortunate we chanced to meet !"
said Boisgibert, in a tone as destitute of
emotion as is the creak of a door.
" It was indeed a happy chance,'' re
plied Prethibaut, with the inflection of a
man who bids his creditor come to-morrow.
And while their lips distilled . honeyed
words they were full of bitterness within.
Prelhibaut's reflections were something
like this : V 7.-\--
"How in the fiend's name could Vau
giron be so idiotic as to invite this be
curled popinjay to his house? I did not
think him so stupid — so husband-like so to
speak— as that. When a man of 5*2 mar
ries a girl of 19 he should not invite hand
come young dandies to speud weeks at his
house. And more particularly should he
not invite a dandy who was her slave last
winter; who was always waltzing with her;
who always turned her music for her when
.'•..•■ played; who always had an orchestra
neat when she was in her box. And, yet
Vaugiron, — stupid yet hospitable Vaugiron,
—he invites this fellow beneath his roof.
Well, well!"
Ou the other hand, Boisgibert's brain
was no less busy. His reflections ran some
thing like this:
y " I wonder why that old blockhead fol
lows me so persistently? For the past year
ho seems to have exercised a sort of espion
age on me. He seems to have divined my
secret, too. And yet he is ! not a relative
of Mme. Vaugiron. Confound the old
idiot! Someone told me he was in Switz
erland, and here I find him on the way to
Verrieres."
The two men scowled at each other, and
then smoothed their facas into expression
lessness. The train roiled on. Boisgibert
drew an immense cigar from his case and
lighted it. Then, as if he had ju3t thought
of it—
"Oh, excuse me. I believe tobacco is
disagreeable to you."
"No, sir, by no means, sir ; * you are
dreaming, sir," retorted Prethibaut ; "I
smoke like a chimney, sir," and lighting a
cigar he puffed defiantly.
At tbe expiration of ten minutes tbe two
gentlemen were so shrouded in smoke that
they cbould not see across the compart
ment.
But all things have an end. T The train
at last reached the expected station, and
there was Vaugiron's ; carriage awaiting
them.' A brisk drive rof, a ' few minutes
. across the country and they were at Ver
rieres. ■ ■ 1. ■ j ;
.As they descended to the court-yard
Vaugiron advanced. : He pressed '_ Prethi
baut warmly by the hand, greeted Boisgi
bert with less warmth, and bade < the ' ser
vant 1 to ' show the latter gentleman to his
room. Wi ' ; '-V;' .v.
--' !' As for you, my old , friend," said he to
Prethibaut, ,". come into the garden and let
ns seat ourselves over . there .in that sum
mer-house. I have something I want to
say to yon. V I want to ask yonr : advice."
.*' But will you follow it ?"
"Of course, since I ask it."
" But that does not follow any more than
you do. 1 People are always asking advice
—they rarely follow it. -Last year, in this
.very month, and \ where i we > now,, sit,' you
asked my opinion as to whether yon should
marry. I advised you to live and die a
bachelor. Well, three months after that
' I hadjto pretend to be glad when I saw you
hanged— mean married.'' ■ : yv"
Vaugiron vigorously kicked . a pebble _on
the gravel walk before hi-n.

"Seen!" shouted Vaugiron, bounding
from his seat " Seen ! seen ! What have
you seen ?"' '- -'.-: T* '* :.'T
"Come, how," said Perthibaut, "don't
be getting any idiotic ideas into your head;
1 have . seen ; nothing i alarming. T' I ', have
seen, l however,' that that : young ' puppy,
Boisgibert, is altogether too attentive to
your wife." ''.
" Well, that's what I wanted to sp^ak
about. The fellow has presumed to ad
dress some verses to her."
T" What are they about V
. "What are they about ? Oh, what all
poets write about— moon on the waves,
stars and flowers, gentle zephyrs, angels,
gondolas, sympathetic souls, and all sorts
of idiotic things."
" Naturally," aid Perthibaut. " I might
have known it. Hut how did you come to
see this letter?"
' "Why, Hortenee brought it to me her
self, of course."
"She did, eh? Well, Vaugiron, I con
gratulate you on your _ wife. Now, listen
to me. Will yon follow my advice?''
"Blindly."
j " Whatever I may say or do, you will
not contradict or oppose me ? '
T;.'.* I promise,"
"Very well, then. Young Boisgibert
will not favor us with his company during
the shoot ng-season. Here is ' what you
must do: To-night, at dinner, when you
see me take a pinch of snuff, strike the
table with your list and say in a cavernous
voice: '1 would do the same."'
"Hum," said the .Vaugiron, ,' 'a cavern
ous voice, a pinoh of snuff', and a blow on
the table. Why— what— how— "
" Never mind," said Prethibaut, "do as
I tell you, old boy, and you're all right."
That evening there were gathered around
Vaugiron's festive board eight gentlemen.
Six vacant chairs showed that the ladies
had left them. Unnumbered empty bot
tles showed that they were good hunters
and true. But one man had attempted to
escape to join the ladies. Several- times
had Boisgibert made a move, but Frethi
baut would invariably ask with much kind
ness, "Are you not well this evening, sir?"
so he was forced to remain.
Of all the merry crowd, Prethibaut alone
seemed preoccupied. There was a gloomy
expression upon his face, and it finally at
tracted attention. ,
" What the matter with you to-night,
Prethibaut ?" asked one of the guests,
" you look as if you were at a funeral."
Pardon me, gentlemen," replied the
gloomy one, "there are certain anniversa
ries in a man's life but no, tee story is
not a pleasant one."
" Never mind— what's the odds ? Go on
and tell it anyway," was the cry.
"Very well, gentlemen," said Prethi
bault, placing his snuff-box on the tabic
before him, and gazing on it with deep
melancholy, "I will tell yon the story.
Thirty- five years ago to-day I was the chief
actor in a domestic tragedy."
'* You ! " interrupted Vaugiron, " you in
a domestic tragedy ? "
For reply Prethibaut ignored his friend
with a violent kick under the table and
went on :
"At that time I was but 25; my life
was peaceful and happy. I had a wifo
whom I adored, a daughter whom I idol
ized."
" What, yon ': " bawled Vaugiron.
" Yes," went on Prethibaut, giving him
another kick. "My estate was in the Ar
dennes, and I was a passionate hunter.
Adjoining my property was that of a man
a little younger than 1. He was about the
same age as Maurice Boisgibert here, and,
by the way, he much resembled him.
Well; we often met ; we became friends.
He came to my house, excuse me,
gentlemen, but my old blood boils when I
think of it — he wrote some verses to my
wife.
' ' Well, I sought him out. - I told him
that one of us must die ; that, in order to
avoid scandal, we would load our pieces
with buckshot, conceal ourselves on both
sides of a trail, and when a boar was
driven by us we would — but not at the
boar.
It was done. Thirty-five years ago
to-day we lay crouched there, glaring at
each other across the trail." We heard the
boar coming ; we fired. . Whether a con
sciousness of guilt had .unnerved imy
friend's hand, or not, I do not know, yet I
was uninjured. But both loads from my
gun struck him, and he fell back, his head
and breast pierced with balls, a mangled,
bleeding corpse. .■■'- There is not much more
to tell. If was arrested, and released, ' as
on the surface it waa accidental. My. wife
died in a mad house, my daughter died
shortly after, and now I am alone. • Can
you wonder, gentlemen, that I am melan
choly when the years bring around the day
on which I slew my friend ':"
t He shook his head gloomily, and took a
pinch of snuff. -
Vaugiron struck the table I a violent
blow, which made the glasses rill.-. •'<
"I would do the same," he cried. " You
were *' perfectly right. I would do 1 the
same. "
X . * . t
At breakfast the next . morning it was
noticed that Maurice Boisgibert was | ab
sent. : The host found a note from him at
his place, however, which he read aloud -.
"M. • Boisgibert has received a letter
which forces him to leave for Paris at
once. Important business. T He bega M.
Vaugiron to receive his excises, and much
regrets that he cannot remain with the
pleasant party at the Chateau de Verrieres."
„-." "Well," said Prethibaut, in a whisper
to the host," what did I tell you ?"
" Prethibaut," replied Vaugiron, with
an admiring glance, '* what a dreadful liar
you are ?" — [From the * French of Alberic

LAXO&umt, August 21, 1881. vl
Langrune is neither a historical . an
interesting town ; there is no history writ
ten about it, and those littlo pamphlets to
be found in almost . every village : through
out old ? Normandy ■ have no existence in
Langrune. '1 It can not boast of any remark
able heroes of the past, and _ Nature ; her
self has not deigned to perform any feats
worthy of mention ; in honor of this little
town ; no record i therefore exists' to indi
cate the march of the sea : : and whether in
ancient times the waves lashed the stone
walls of the church, or, < being at a { far
distance, have gradually approached.
That Lingrune, however, is ': an old
settlement, is proven by the age of its
one monument, that tort of milestone of
centuries— the church. ylt was built in tho
twelfth century, and is said to have been
constructed by the English when this part
of France was in their possession.' It con
tains its center aisle and two side aisles, with
majestic pillars between, as in the archi
tecture of that time. On the interior, here
and there T patches are discovered of the
new on to the : old, particularly in the
stained glass windows, wherein are readily
discovered the rich, deep tones of the past
from the bright, gaudy colors of the pres
ent day. Its arches are noble and impos
ing, and all that which belongs to the past
is expressive of lofty sentiment : and seems
to look with a sad mockery on the gaudi
ness and smallness of its more recent
adornments. It impresses me as
' A ROMAN TEMPLE
To which Borne savage race had brought its
idols, to there worship free from rain and
sun, for the miserable chromos of dingy,
inharmonious colors, in which a , repulsive
green largely predominates, representing
subjects which have been marvelously
treated by the great masters ; an artificial
paper grotto decorated with tinsel, and at
whose entrance stood a plaster statue of
the Virgin in its striking gold and red, and
having above "in common illuminated let
ters : "I : am the immaculate concep
tion ;" the ordinary , artificial flowers
upon the altar, the heavy modern organ
all these things seemed inconsistent with
the sober, majestic ] monument, and were
almost an _ insult .to the beautiful. For
tunately the temple had been constructed
by other , hands, else these present Nor
man peasants would succeed in shocking
the eye from the highway as they have in
the interior. The pulp is new, but there
are rows of chairs in carved wood which
bespeak a very old age ; they are express
ive objects, and in their deep-carved cells
appear to hi ie the history of every digni
fied prelate who had there rested his tired
limbs. Before the most important row arc
smaller chairs, equally aged, yet less ; elab
orate as to decoration, and which seem to
gather themselve up as unworthy objects
compared with the more important repre
sentatives which tower above them. In
front of these is still another row, not,
however, of chairs, but sort of elevated,
small, round stools, as smooth' and | pol
ished as looking-glasses, and suggesting
another degree of humbleness of much
larger space than the first. How these >
TEUXKLESS HEADS
Did stare. I could think of nothing but
the skulls of martyrs, and as these stools
for centuries have been occupied by boys,
their restless bones have doubtless left an
aching sensation upon the wood. The ex
pression of caste to be found in the ap
pearance and arrangement of the chairs • is
farther Ton '} still y- more ' accentuated.
At the two extreme ends of the building,
facing the altar, are two confessional boxes,
one of plain muslin curtain the whole
suggestive of severity and poverty—
whereas the other is constructed of carved
wood of a deep color, and its dark green
curtain of moire-antique, although - pieced
and patched, ' indicate the pretension to
elegance and richness. y One is for the
Tutor, the other for the rich and influential.
Its floor is ! composed of | massive square
stones, which seem prepared to defy time
in the dress of many centuries to come.
On entering one of the side doors I the foot
almost immediately falls into a rather deep
hole worn in the stone, and when it rains a
foot-bath is in store for the visitor, for it is
then filled with water. The rest of the
floor is pretty even, and this hollow can
be accounted for only by the supposition
that the good . people j entered j separately,
and there repeated ' their •-' prayers 1 just
within, without seeking a seat.' - The wooden
and very modern | benches ! placed for the
worshipers have an unyielding and ■
CRUEL APPEARANCE, !
Resembling the people who occupy them ;
some ■ are pretentions, - cushions ar
ranged in a precise fashion, footstools on
the floor, and the names of the owners in
great staring letters. The : exterior of the
church is very pleasing, for its deep, grey
color against the green foliage surrounding
it - produces an . agreeable harmony ; its
walks are covered j with a sort of moss, a
cloak X time \ spreads % over .'his cherished
objects ; in many places the stones j appear
like skeleton leaves and stand out | exquis
itely carved as though for ornament, and
resemble the many stones and oyster shells
found on the beach J which have I been per
forated by insects. -As -with j all 11 village
churches, : the graveyard ',; surrounds the
building, that at almost the same time you
can touch the walls of one and 'the marble
slab of the other. T A great \ many of the
tombs are horizontal, entirely covered with
inscriptions,' while those that arc perpen
dicular.! have the | advantage of being en
graved on T both sides ; there were none
which dated beyond the | first :. part of .this
century, and there was much monotony in
the rehearsal of the many virtues of each
good scul gone to rest,* the most important
being his attendance on church and gener
osity towards its maintenance. .1 From the
graveyard the ; rear of the church ;is \ well
seen, and presents a \ very curious j aspect,'
with its numerous ' ancient water spouts of
hideous looking 1 devils, y through T whose
mouths in those days the rain from heaven
found its way to the earth. These y? : *

STOKE IMAGES
Are of the same family, of htdeonsness as
those seen in Notre ; Dame at Paris and
other religious edifices of that epoch, and
why the grotesque ■ in 1 this instance should
be chosen by architects who sought in par
ticular the beautiful, is difficult to compre
hend ; yet it must be 1 remembered that in
those ; days the f devil was !a ' creature \of
much more importance than at present, in
fact >he seemed to :be the supreme ruler,
and all things, good or evil, were performed
through ) fear ?or out of respect for him ;
that it |is not j surprising his j imps should
have been 1 supposed to ' shower upon the
earth those \ refreshing I draughts so often
desired. In * the . cemetery, f standing as
close to the wall of the church as a tomb
stone \ can * comfortably stand, is the tomb
of a baron, who, according to the inscrip
tion ■in '' gilt f letters -on the '; marble, ; had
a right to fi- that __,?!? ground f?. through
purchase, "a tl perpetuite." This 'ft "a
perpetuite Vi'te caused - - me %.'. to v & reflect
seriously,' on the faith 7 and sincerity of the
baron ; se be $*< had ''- undoubtedly s within,
through alms and fasting, found . a i resting
place , for - his I soul, and who I knows how
much wealth it cost him to purchase , this
resting place for S his I bones. mlt 1 would be
through fno I fault \of < his \if\ he were \ not
ready at the sound of . the trumpet, and lit
seems | his faith ' in \ the j near < approach of
judgment day, was as great as his faith in
the trumpet. ;T; His many virtues had 'been
inscribed by his widow, who, after stating
that her most noble consort was remark
able for his ! piety, declares j herself | incon
solable, and that she would remain weeping
until they should meet |in'| the next world.
At a distance . farther • removed 5 from the
church wall was also the J tomb: of the 3 in
consolable widow, who, according to the
date thereon inscribed,", wept for her noble
husband just thirty years. ;; '
viv- THE VILLAGE v^m
Of Langrune presents nothing of interest.
The houses are • for the most . part modern,
homely,' ungraceful structures, piled up one
against the other as for mutual; support or
to keep warm. -T Occasionally a ; handsome
private residence may be discerned through
j the open ' gate of a high', wall,* but as they
are jealously concealed from the [outsider,
j the passer-by is not enchanted by a view of
| them. Oaee in a while a green vine or ivy
will be seen j climbing a stone wall or the
peasant's J window, b and jin ! front ■ of ; some
dwellings - are/ small gardens with sun
llowers and a few stunted j apple trees. - It
cannot ' be J that ; the ground >is ? poor, ' for
nothing can be -more ,beautiful than the
gardens and lawns of 1 these ] rich proprie
tors, who enjoy - a (.variety" of fruits and
liowers after comparatively little cultiva
tion. It is that the people in general are
indolent in that respect, and in fact have
no tasta for the beautiful ' J : or f : ambi
tion ' for comfort. c The ; Normans y are
noted as ; being an : obstinate peo ile
and j rapacious '■ to a fearful :_'■ degree, a.id
Laugrune can well . claim representative
possessing both these qualities."" They do
not appear to have that ' intuition ' and in
telligence belonging to the French peasant
in general, but instead may boast of a cun
ning as to gain without I a foresight as to
interest. They are hard and unyielding,
bigoted and cruel, and their moral training
is but calculated ; to develop;. these same
propensities ; the only interesting portion
of the inhabitants is the children, but even
they must be very young f without having
passed the primer of the catechism ; then
there are the ' old - people grown • children
again, who are I possessed jof some charity
and tolerance. .They are all . poor, ; and
even the Mure, the most important offi
cial, lives " in a dingy low house over a
stable-yard of cows and horses. '. The reason
is that their only industry has always been
the manufacture of Chantilly lace, and since
there is little market for it at present,
there are hundreds of women without em
ployment, and they seem to have no idea
of turning their atteution to anything else.
Their only resource at present is the sea
son of . . '^^MNHBHWT' "
sea' : baths, ' -
And numerous stores are seen filled with
such objects the Parisian alone would re
quire when desirous of bathing, or of crab
or shrimp fishing. Others gather a little
fruit together and bring it to sell *on the
market-place, at a price which causes the
Parisians to laugh in their faces, when the
fruit is carried away and brought back the
next day, to be sold at one-half the original
price. . Others do washing for the visitors,
and do it very poorly, since they have
learned only to make lace. l But that which
brings them the largest profits during the
summer season jis the ,_■■ rent 1 from their
houses. They manage to get a bed through
loan or credit, as well as a soup-pot, and
then move to the lumber-room, but most
generally to . the : cellar, • with ail . the
children, and rent :. their T houses ;to
visitors. These houses are of course simply
f urnianied , containing that only . which jis
actually necessary, but with a few com
forts light from the city, the Parisians
find them habitable so long as the weather
is pleasant and they can spend the entire
day on the beach ; and even when it rains
they are priviledged to find shelter in the
cabins they rent by the season or month,
which is preferable to shutting themselves
up in the houses in the village. _ It is pitiful
in going along the street to perceive in \ all
the cellar doors some two or three small
children, while the mother is further down
in the bowels of the earth with just room
enough to stand I between the one bed and
the soup-pot. , No wonder they are y-yyVy
DYING OFF
With consumption, when living like rats,
and with no means of , obtaining ; air . but
through the cellar door, which is of course
closed at night, if only to keep the dogs out.
There are some few who do not resort to the
cellars, but they are old in the service and
have been able to rent their dwellings at a
sufficiently high price to permit them in time
to fit lup a T store-house or cow-shed with
gome appearance of comfort. The street
seems to be ' their J parlor j and J reception
room, for whenever the weather permits
they crawl up to the j sunlight, and sitting
in a corner by the house, twist back and
forth their hundred or so bobbins, while
constantly wishing ; that capricious Fash
ion, who has treated them so cruelly, may
relent, and command her subjects to clothe
themselves g only in thread lace. They
scarcely know what to do with their chil
dren, for when trade was thriving the little
ones were ardently put to work at the ages
■s were seven to learn to make lace ; but
ix and seven to learn to make lace ; but
if . there is to. be no demand for the article
in the future, why should they waste their
time, and yet they cannot endure the idea
of their learning anything else, for it is the
I trade handed down from mother to daugh
ter since generations.' ; - mother to daugh
siiice generations.
■ -/•THE LACEWOKKEF.S
Are ; rather an amiable class of people ;
they always have a ; friendly nod for the
passer-by, and any cumber of good-natured
aswers to questions, in the hopes the ques
tioner will be induced to buy : a piece of
lice or give an order . for a } collar or so.
| They do not prove themselves intelligent
j in their endeavors, for their rapacity nat
urally gets the better T" of f them, and al
though the • merchant I who | purchases of
them pays them but a pittance, whenever
they have the opportunity to sell they ruin
their chances by asking a higher price than
any establishment of Paris. They work all
day long, and often times late in the night,
with : marvelous T rapidity, : and '• yet they
do not average twenty cents j a day. % The
majority who have families ; earn i but ten
cents a day. -- There are of course ' excep
tions, and I often ' chatted .. with a young
girl who seemed |to be possessed of more
intelligence than j the j others, for .: she had
succeeded in opening I a little shop of her
own in which she had spread out her own
work and that of some ; of her comrades,
thus endeavoring to dispose of their wares
to the visitors without the aid of the cruel
middle man. She claimed to '2 be a j bonne
ouvriere, and ■ informed Jme J with '". much
triumph and importance that in prosperous
days she had earned as much as forty sous
a day, but it was at the expense of her
eyesight and when she had the strength to
work as late as three o'clock in : the | morn
ing.*-'; This lace is long and tedious to make,
particularly when the thread is fine, and a
piece sometimes of no very ■ great width
requires as many as

T It is made upon ; a cushion on which the
thick paper pattern is fastened ; same hun
! dred pins or so are pierced , in _ the pattern
on the j lines designed, ; and '. the : ; thread ib
woven back i and 1 forth around them ; \ the
petals of flowers and closed work are made
by weaving % inside | the pins, TJ which ' are
placed around | the border i only, for where
a pin is used an open space is formed. The
work is tedious, but not difficult/ ami I
am sure any intelligent person ; at -, any age
would soon learn to make it. The cushion
is placed upon a box, and as the work pro
gresses ia '■ turned, when the i formed lace
I falls into the > box j and 3 is i there protected
[ from 'iy the T dust Tg, The V bobbins T have
quite y. long _.: handles, and T?? are '-2 made
generally ,: of gTfineftef hard wood, if
not,' the price of a machine is less, although
but a few sons - difference. The pins used
are very price of a machine is ; small . heads,
a few sons difference. The pins nsed
very fine and long, with small heads,
and I are ' manufactured J expressly for I that
worfc.|| One can buy an entire 1 machine for
eleven francs. The thread is &no small
item of , expense, and is very costly when it
| is of silk, for it is on similar machines that
the real Spanish lace is made, and much of
it is manufactured here, although with dif
ficulty ,'P for j£ the experienced ]-* workers
ecarce'y know how to manage other than
the thread, and it is only the young ones
who have attempted it. ■£. The work is very
clean when 5 finished, for \ that part of tbe
bobbins which holds the thread I is covered
with circular pieces of horn, and the hands
in no manner touch it. ;T
i-.V : V. : .';,-,.y'';T;TUESE WOMEN* '
Do naught but the . mechanical /work, for
the patterns are manufactured elsewhere
and . sold , for a small sum ; they do not
even join the pieces of lace, which work is'
done by professionals who learn to. do
nothing r else. ;_-■.. These : women T commence
early to learn, for their small intelligence
would prevent 2 their f comprehending 'it
without the habit tof long years, and even
now they cannot explain the principle of it,
and T are v> perfectly T bewildered - that "1 a
stranger should see through it. % There are
somo Parisian ladies j who learn to make
this lace for pastime, and it is really very
pretty work ; these old women give lessons
for forty .; centimes an j hour, but 1 they, are
reticent about their explanations, and seem
fearful their pupils may learn too readily
when they ■ would be sooner : deprived of
their email hourly income and would find
later i a dangerous competitor. T; This lace
could ;'as; easily be made in America as in
France, and ' I am surprised it ' is not at
tempted, particularly as the price paid for
it there would largely recompense any one
for the trouble. . -' ... Yal.

I have been very sick over two years. They
all gave me no as p,.st cure. I tried the
most skillful physicians', but they did not
reach the worst part. Toe longs and heart
would fill up every bight and distress me, and
my throat wsw very bad., I told my children
I never should die in peace until I had tried
Hop Bitter?. I have taken two bottlts.
Thay have helped me very much indeed. I 1
am • now well. , There was a lot of sick folk-'
here who hive seen how they helped me, and
they used them and -ire cured, and feel is
