WE VYING IN SHADOW.
In one of the famous lace siiops of Brussels there are certain .rooms devoted to the weaving of the finest and falling directly upon the pattern. There rooms are entirely darkened, save from the light from one small window' falling directly upon the patern. There is only one lace-maker in the room, and she sits where the "narrow stream of light falls upon the thread she is weaving. "Thus you are told by your guide, 'do we secure more delicately woven lace when the worker is in the dark, and only her pattern is in the light."
