LACE

One of the Inconsistencies of fash ion is exempIified this year. Laces are the rage: they the superIatively fashionable-ye laces are hard to get and will be still harder to get once the big demand starts later in the season when the lace vogue is well established. At present there seems to be plenty of lace to go round but it will be a wise woman who buys her lace now and then takes her own time to have it made up as frock styles develop, says the Providence Journal
 The reason for the probable scar city of laces a little later is not hard to comprehend. Most of the French lace makers have lived in the little towns at the east of France and even when these towns were not actually in the line of invasion they were all ways under the fire of the German guns The inhabitants at the begin ming of the war left their little . homes and hastily moved to Paris ! or the small communities around Paris. Now these lace makers are "going home"-to find, in many tn- : stances their homes in ruins. It will , be some time before they can estab- fish new homes and resume their reg ular work of making lace for the Paris market.
 And why are laces the fashion just when faces are going to be hard to get? It is not the couturier's fault not at all - it is womankind in \general who has demanded lace. The Reaction from wartime severity and simplicity of dress has expressed itself in\all manner of gay trimmings in hutAering ribbons, in braids and em-

broideries, most of all In lace - that exquisitely feminine and decorative fabric which is as far removed as any woven stuff can be from the rigid slmpIicities of wartime.
 Woman, in the relief of her heart, wants to blossom out as a flower of the f1eld-she wants to wear soft silks in lovely colors and plenty of lovely, huttering laces.
 All kinds of lace are fashionable, but of course, Paris has it's favorite sorts. These are divided into two classes; the flmy, delicate laces for afternoon and evening frocks of high distinction, and the heavier wool or cotton laces for frocks of equal dis tinction but more substantial charac- ter.

WIND POWER.

The possibilities of the use of air in industry developed by windmills, will strike most people as merely hot air" Yet a competent scientific au- thority, writing in the last number of the Contemporary Review, takes the proposition seriously. He feels that the high prices of coal, the high charges on freight both by rail and water, will compel many industries to consider wind power.
 The world formerly did its heavy work by wind and water. Innumer- a ble generations moved their freight on the sea by sails. On land wind mills were far more common than now. Recently, however, there has been a considerable revival in the use of windmi11s. They are specially adapted for pumping water, since this work can be done at times when the wind is favorable, and stopped in times of dead calm or when the wind is so violent as to endanger the mill
 The writer referred to believes that the operation of a windmill can be satisfactorily stabilized by the gen eration of electric power and the use of storage batteries. These would assure a reserve power to cover the periods when the mill could not be successfully worked. He speaks of a plan to operate a bacon factory with a 200 horse power windmill, also ot Q mill of 40 feet diameter that has saved 200 tons of coal In a year and cost nothing for upkeep.
 His theory is that such windmills would be peculiarly suited for sraal 1-rzI,.- rural district are concentrated The subject is worth the attention ot scientists and ingenious men. With fuel constantly rising and water pow CT development costly, every wind mill that is erected means an addition to the productive resources of the community.
