All the time Of the German
occupation of Brussels these

were hidden in moisture-proof

the owner dared to bring them
out and offer them for sale.
We selected thctmost beau

choice as to quality because
every piece is made of the fin
est thread-and brought them
to America.
No real Valenciennes laccs,
such as these, are being made
today and there are only small
quantities to be found here
and there. Whenever they can
be obtained they arc very val
liable and there is a growing
fashion for their use on blouses
and lingerie.
Prices start at $3.50 a yard
for a half-inch edging and 60
to $28.75 a yard for one 3h
inches wide. There are also
a few insertions, in some cases
they match the edgings. The
prices are according to pre-war

Consumers have become careless

amount Of coal tor this season Of the

Last years experience in the stor-
ing Of coal did not serve TO inspire

Der nth the arnistice was signed. This,
Of course. iessencd the demand ma

mild winter. Not nearly as much coal
was used by the average family last
winter as in the average winter. Hence
the people are not concerned about
next winters coal supply at this time.
However, every winter sees a short

the consumer In not buying early. II

II these feeds can not be procured, rye

free from lice by the use Of crude or
good black oil. They must have access
at all times to good pure water. Shade
must be provided during the hot sum-
