HOUSEHOLD
IT'S A SEASON OF HANDwORK

Oh to be sure, you see a lot of freak
lingerie in the windows, Not many
days ago a smart shop showed win
dow fun of undertakings made of black
lacc and chiffon over brilliant orange
Who wears things like that?" was
the comment of more than one who
passed the window. For they weren't
even alluring. You couldn't have OBJ
jected to them on that score, possibly.
1t happens that this shop was one
that is noted for the fact that it at
tracts only the most conventional of
shoppers. The explanation seemed to
be that among these conventional folk
there were some who always did and
always would desire and demand the
extreme, the quiXotic-w whether that in
any way added to the charm or appeal
of the one who wore it,
! But of one thing you may be sure
! and that is that the smart young brides
| of the season are not going in for
any of this sort of bizarre lingerie,
( In fact the trousseaux of the smartest
| of the autumn's brides have been
peculiarly lacking in chiffon. georgette
| and other silSen tissues, and the little
shops that make a speciality in han
ding these bridal trousseaux are in
these days returning to the use of fine
linen and lawn, null and batiste. With
| this there is more or less lavish use OF
/ fine hand embroidery and real lace.
This sort of thing has always been
! expensive. but real lace has advanced
astonishingly and as for hand embroid-
| cry, it is something that economical
! folk only dream about. In France a
great many women once skilled in
handwork have lost their speed or theiI
i skill since they have used their hands
| for the coarser work of making ammu-
nitions or tending the fields in the abb
sence of their men folk. Moreover
young women who would otherwise
have been initiated into the work OF
embroidery have during the war years

One thing that keeps navy blue eter-

vivid green-to advantage. Another

Old, battered, weatherbeaten Vulcan,
mythical god of the fiery element, who
has stood lonely sentinelt in the fair
grounds for dozen years. unmindful OF
sunshine or storm. broke the silence CT
ages yesterday.
The newspaper man and his friend
we're passing through the grounds and
halted within the shadow of Old Man
Vulcan, whose iron hulk was a veritable
white elephant on Birmngham's hands
soon after his arrival here from the St
Louis worlds fair
They were in an animated discussion
OF that popular and daily topic-H C. L..
One recounted the mounting cost of cove
oysters, while the other had noted a
recent sharp advance in the price of
gumshoes.
And then old Vulcan snorted.
There's nothing new under the sun, .
and his ponderous tones sounded like the
fall opening of an Ensley boiler factory.
! This II. c. L. stuff is all bunk, OLD
as these old coal and ore mountains of
Jefferson county" he continued.

each for four three-mnute eggs And.
mind you, they were cold storage eggs.
Listen, you pair of misguided NOR
tails. Sixteen hundred years ago the
Roman Emperor Julian, sent out a COM
mittse to investigate the altitudnous
expense of existence and Gibbon in his
Fall and Decline of the Roman Empire,
reported that it was an unequal contest
in which the price of land is claimed by
one party as his exclusive property, is
used by another as a lucrative object
of trade. and is required by third for
the daily and necessary support of life
"Gibbon said then that all the profits
of the intermediate agents are accumu-
lated on the heads of defenseless cou-
sumers. That the hardships of their sit
uation were exaggerated and increased
by their own Impotence and anxiety.
and the apprehension of scarcity grad
ually produced, because of boarding, the
appearance of a famine"
Old Vulcan gave a dry, clanking cough
and went on.

BY this time the newspaper man mad

who might have taks n up fine en-
broidery or lace making, were inn
pressed into work as nurses, and so no
wonder hand embroidery is high in
price
But is is just another instance of
the utter unreasonableness of the de-
mands of fashion that this year, OF all
others, there should be revived inter-
est in hand embroidery and fine lace.
