(Special Cable to the Sunday Newe.) LONDON, Dec. is an unusual demand among collectors of curios winter for what are known as "Tobies," old English china jugs representing all sorts of celebrities and famliar rustic figures of a century or more ago. Twenty or thirty pounds is not at all an extravagant price to pay for al really high-class. fully, authenticated and a collection worth several hundred pounds is now on view at 4 Orchard street, where Miss Falcke, a wellknown expert in bric-a-brac and antiques, is exhibiting them, together with fans of exquisite beauty, some marvelous lace and many other objects of interest. Miss Faleke has received the silver medal of the Society of Arts for a paper on fans read by her in 1903.

Her collection includes many made of "chicken-skin," which is really a sort of lambskin, and one at least-of ivory and paper--which is believed to be a Watteau. Rare fans like these are always kept folded, each in its own com- partment, in cabinets or safes. MADE BY NUNS IN DAMP CELLARS. Among the lace exhibits are several specimens of antique valenciennes, made by nuns in damp cellars because of the extreme delicacy of the material. They sat in darkness, except for a ray of light passing through a tube directly on to their work, and at the age of 30 their sight and health generally failed.

"Diamonds for millionaires, lace for used often to be on the lips of a great lady of the last century. Real hand-made lace of the finest kinds grows necessarily scarcer every year, unfortunately, the material being perishable, unlike diamonds, But the very best kinds are far more durable, in spite of their age, than the costliest machine-made lace of the present day. COLDNESS OF OLD LACE. Real old lace, of which the thread was made with distaff and spindle, has a curious cold feeling when handled: modern lace feels quite different. Some old venetian point lace at Orchard street has a seaweed pattern, said to have been first imitated from foreign specimens of seaweed by a sailor's sweetheart.

Argentan lace is coarser in foundation than Alencon or Venetian. Old English lace, too, is generally somewhat coarse, and the patterns are not very beautiful. Old brussels lace, on the other hand, has become scarce because the groundwork wore out too soon, and the antique pattern is often found backed by modern work. There is a great demand for fine beadwork just now, society ladies wearing bead bracelets and collarettes centuries old. Some of the beads used by the medieval makers are go fine that the eye can scarcely distinguish them.

Wax portraits in relief, Nelson curios of all kinds, and old Chelsea, Worcester and every other famous variety of china ha are features of the exhibition, which will be open this week and next. AT NEW YORK HOTELS. NEW YORK, Dee. Miss A. Birge, Mrs.
