METAL LACE GOWNS ADD LUSTER TO LATE gUfititiSll

MAKING ZION LACES
^ CHICAGO.—Laces are growing
ir popularity as the warm seasn..
waxes and merchants and dress
makers are turning their t' oughts
toward fall fabrics' "and frocks.
Many all-over lace gowns danced
across the ballroom floors last year
and added their bit to the horse
shoe pictare at the opera, and be
cause they insist upon being with
ns for another season, there is a
strenuous search for something
new in lace for gowns.
I One of the new contributions to
the novelties for fall and winter is
• unique creation that looks like a
misty morning or a half-clouded
sunset seen through aspen trees.
fThe first lengths of this new lace
have just reached Marshall Field &
Company, wholesale, from their
Zion City’s Lace Industries. The
lace shows the extraordinary com
bination of metal and softly color
Th« first to come from
: the looms is in silver and dull bine.
: The mysterious soft effect of the
cotton under the metallic shimmer
of the silver defies the average
shopper to tell what it is and the
effect is bewilderingly beautiful.
The metal is pressed on the cotton
after the weaving in a way to make
the metal stand out in a glittering
glory that is emphasized by the
; softness of the cotton.
The new lace comes in gold and
silver pressed on blue, green, yel
low, and orchid shades of cotton.^.
Any number of combinations are
possible and will be worKed out as
the popularity of the new fabric is
established.
Another interesting lace combi
nation for next season’s gowns is a
combination of Italian and arti
ficial silk lace in flouneings. They
come in silver and black, silver and
coral, silver and Copenhagen, and
black and gold.

Food Troubles
Thu food troubles in Germany are

Food riots in cities and threats of
gardeners from carrying their pro
ducts to centers liable to disorder.
| It is the old problem ot the city
against the country, the peasant
■ against the Industrial laborer. The
farmers are in better condition in
Germany than any other class, and
they are holding their products for
payment in something more stalib
than paper marks. They are engag
ing barter and exchange, as is com
mon now in Russia Dealers are par
ticularly umvillihg to let go of any
products which are imported, as they

Potatoes Important
But Germany is accustomed to go

| small vegetable gardeners about Ber
i ]in nearly all raise a small patch of
j rye, which is roasted and made into
ja coffee substitute for ‘lie family
I which must save every possible mark.
■ It is potatoes which, after bread, are
| the most Important article of diet
with the average German family.
'The lateness of the season and the
[excessive rainfall have contributed
'to the potato shortage which is be
! coming very acute and raising much
i disturbance.
Women who cannot buy potatoes in
the markets are in despair. That
irepresents a loss of the foundation of
' the average German family's meal.
Meat prices have long been prohibi
tive for families in modest circum
stances. But until recently potatoes
were within reach. Butter, butter
substitutes and all sorts of fats are
also extremely scarce in the public
markets and are belli at a price be
yond most purses. But. practically
all sorts of foodstuffs are available
In Germany if the purchaser is will

and there Is adequate transportation
to handle them. Distribution is un
satisfactory because of the crash in
