Most of the workers were old women, who had been making the fine old laces for a half century. It was the only work they had ever known, and they were expert in the art. Sud- denly they found they could not sell their goods. It not only meant the ruination of families, but it threatened the loss of one of Belgium’s oldest arts. “So a group of patriotic women formed the committee which gathered the laces from the workers and opened & shop in Brussels, where the goods could be market In addition, they in Belgium took other means for the :r—uon “The committee has saved the llm-l making of Planders” continued Mme. | May, “and one of the most picturesque sights in the country today is to drive | through the countryside and see the | old t women, bent over their crude little cushions, winding the thread on the old-fashioned pins, Just as it has been done for many genera- tions by the country women of Flan- TS, “No. I never learned the art myself.” the Ambassador's wife replied. ~“But | I used to be very fond of making fillet iace.” Several beautifully worked “tidies.” | with intricate design. were modestly acknowledged by Mme.
