LACE IS IN VOGUE
Decoration Promises to Be in
Demand This Spring.
Coming Season to See Revival Of
Trimmed BatIste or Lawn Eroeks
Necessary TO Women.

Are you aware Of the fact that we
are about to experience revival Of
interest In lace?
Doubtless this has been brought
about In part by the men and women
whose business interests center In the
sale Of lace. Moreover, writes CORE.
spondent. 1t Is again possible to get
laces that were unavailable during
the war. The revival of lace will mean
That numerous women Of Europe will
have means Of earning a living; that
we can help them to help themselves
during reconstruction.
Real laces will be especially In de-
mand. and this Is In keeping with the
revival Of interest In all hand wrought
fabrics and tissues. But we are not
going to be content with the old-time
mode Of applying lace. which was too
often stiff and prlm.
Designers are going back to the Law
ish method Of the Renaissance, when
ecclesiastics combined the most costly
OF laces with the most gorgeous of en-
broideries and silks in the vestments
worn on great festivals, and to the
great court ladies OF those days, who
We'd with the great prelates In their
lavish use Of lace and brilliant fabrics.
The prediction is made that this
spring will see n revival OF the sort
Of lace-trimmed batiste or lawn frocks
that we used to regard as indispensa-
BILE to every woman's wardrobe. II
made by hand they require days and
days Of work. and IL by machine actu-
ally miles Of fine stitching. There are
yards and yards. moreover, Of lace In
sertlon. and sometimes innumerable
tucks. The result Is n frock that Is
perennially fresh. for II 1t Is not made
to go In the tub. II Is at least capable
of being cleaned repeatedly.
Colored sheer cotton fabrics are
used In the advance models for frocks
and blouses, and instead Of using white
lace on these many OF them show
valenciennes that has been tinted TO
match the fabric with which 1t Is
used.
Although In most Of the new frocks
for evening and afternoon wear there
Is a decided lack Of lace or other trim
ming to relieve the severity Of the line
at the neck. still 1t is said that this
spring we will enjoy revival OF
dainty neck laces-neck accessories,
frills and jabots and ruffes. They
will be worn with suits and day frocks.
and will make use Of lavish amount
Of beautiful laces.

The coal strike situation in the
uionized southern mining districts
of West Virginia took on a more
serious aspect last night when re-
ports were received from the New
River coal fields showing that hun
dreds of miners had walked out,
closing a number of mines, which
had been operating since the rescind-
ing of the strike order.
According to the reports, the men
began quitting work yesterday fol-
lowing notification by the mine
superintendents of the various COM

where approximately 5000 miners
are employed in 130 mines.
