QUEEN UETS MARVELOUS VEIL
Belgian Lace Experts Worked on

Such is their devotion to thir s-v

A French publication teseribes the
veil-designed by the most farmous
of Belgian artists and executed by the
most expert workmen, perfect in
every detil of mesh and iotif.
Twelve thousand hours were re
quired in workmanship, for the veil
contains not less than 12,000,000 points.
It displays the almost unknown art
of light and shade, a difficult effect
and one of rare beauty. It solves
for the first time, perhaps, the ques
tion of perspective. The entire piece
weighs but four and one-ialf ounces.
In the center of the veil are the
BeIgign arms, and in the four corners
of the central panel the arias of thim
cities of Ypres. Nieuport, Poperinghe
and Furnes. The four side panels
represent the industries of weaving,
fishing, hop picking and dairying.
