To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An American lady, married into one of tlie oldest families of the country, was the Vicomtesse de Beughem. She concentrated her help upon the lace makers of Flan- ders, especially those in danger of breaking down with tuberculosis. Her work was called Secours Urgent and one of her most active supporters was Mrs. Brand Whitlock. Mrs. Vernon Kellog has told in "Bobbins of Flanders" the story of this wonderful home industry of lace making.
The Queen, the Countess de Beughem, Countess Van den Steen,... Madame Hangouvart, Countess Louise d'Ursel and others worked hard throughout the war to keep these bobbins busy, first of all as a livelihood for thousands em- ployed. But they also sought to abolish the low rates of pay and the swarm of middlemen preying upon the in- dustry and to raise the level of the work in artistic ways, substituting beautiful for ugly designs. We had taken this matter up through M. Ingenbleck, Secretary to the Queen, and had given 5, 000 francs to the Comite Dentellier Franco-Beige- Americain to promote the industry among the Flemish refugees in northern France.
