Keeping Laces in Luxury Class
Makes German Industry Suffer

Hirschberg, Jan. 12-By A. P.)-
The lace and embroidery industry of
Germany. which has it's chief seat in
Silesia. is having an exceedingly
difficult time which even the Christ
mas season did not alleviate. En-
broidered goods still belong to the
class of Injuries without which most
Germans can do. Since the stabili-
Zation of the mark most German
housewives have discovered so many
Gaps in their wardrobes that they
have been quite content to re-stock
with plain linens.
The many women who give their
time to fine needlework declare that
they will work for almost nothing
just to have something to do. They
are ready to adapt themselves to
changing fashions, whereas formerly
their output was of a somewhat
stereotpyed variety.
