How Dresses are Trimmed.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
There are many new and pretty skirt
trimmings, many of which may be easily
made at home. Newest of these is the
shirred plating For this a straight
flounce is cut twelve inches deep and
three times the length of the skirts
breadth. It is laid In inch-wide kilt
plaits, end each plat is stitched (like a
tuck, indeed, more than a plait) to
within a fingers length at the bottom,
when they are pressed fatty. The tUcks
or plait5 above this are shirred on the
edge by a single row of fine hand gath
ering, and this draws the shiTring up
into a succession of scsntily pulled plaits.
, The hounce is then stitched on an inch
from the top, and again at the head of
the plain plating at the bottom. Shir-
red plaitings are also made in clusters,
three in cluster, and space between
Another stylish founce is the fan plait~
ing. This is cut straight also to the
depth required and then plated in cius-
tiers of five plaits, piled one on another
The pl; its are pressed and stitched
across near the top, and again a few
inches from the bottom, so that the lower
part spreads out in a succession of
open fans. Very much liked but scarcely
new, is the Vandyked founce with only
fullness enough to allow it to set
smoothly around the skirt over a fan
plating, the fans of which come IN the
open spaces between the Vandykes.
Another popular heading for founces
is a shell trimming formed of a strip OF
the dress material piped on both edges
aud box-plaised into triple plaits. Be
tween the box plaits the edges of the
band are caught together to form the
shell. Scarf draperies are much worn

walking dresses they are still folded in
uptuFned plaits across the front and
knOtted behind. Some tunics are sli,
straight up through the middle OF the
front breadth for from six inches to hall
a yard. The sides of the opening are
then faced and turned back in revers. a
DOW is placed at the apex of the trian-
gular opening thus formed and the plat
ing Ia front extends high enough
cover all that part of the lower skirt
disclosed by the opening.
Perpendicular trimmings are very
fashionable. Long revers, ex ending
from the belt to the edge of the over
skirt, or where the dress is in one TO the
trimming at the foot, appear on many
suits. A great deal OF fine shirring Is
used, especially on thin dresses. Shir

A COTTON REVOLUTION.
The Clement Mills Making q
FurOre i'm the south.

u
Atlanta Correspondence of the Philadelphia
Times.
One point that commends the Gle
ment mills to the South is that they
will make an essentially Southern ins
dustry. The seed cotton cannot lie
carried away from the plantation.
1t must be spun there, just as COM
pletely as it is.now ginned there. The
mills are very simple. 1t is simply
the connection of a gin with a spindle
by means of carding cylinders. In
the old system the fiber is chopped and
torn from the seed by lightning-like
saws, and then thrown, all tangled and
torn, into the lint pile, then packed
into bales, taken to the factories, pick
ed out and :froggled again, aud then
carded into rolls and spun. In the
new process the gin moves slower,
pulls the fiber from the seed instead
Of tearing it or cutting it, transfers 1t
carefully to carding cylinder, instead
of throwing it into the lint pile and
spins it at once, instead of packing it,
COMPRISING it and picking it out
again. In the process of converting
seed cotton to thread no less than four
machines used in the old process are
eliminated in the new process, and a
profit of nearly two cents pound is
gained. This is an enormous margin
Of profit. 1t is proved also that by
the superior gins used in the Clement
mills eight per cent. more OF Int Is
taken from the seed than by the old
gins. This eight per cent. has here
tofore been wasted. From the lint to
the thread there is another hive per
cent. Of wastage saved.
The furore over these mills Is won
derful. They drive out all thoughts
of politics. 1t is estimated that over
one hundred will put be put to work
in Georgia within the next year. a
prominent Cotton factory man predict
ed to me that the time would come
when the old factories would scatter
their spindles among these plantation
mills and supply their place with
looms to weave the yarns sent in from
the farms. The profits Of these mills
are large PERCENTAGE. The SIX mills
in operation average from thirty tc
sixty per cent. A mill that costs So
500 has made 81, $3.50 clear in year
and it will do better next year. A
double mill that cost SIS, 900, is mak'
ing from eight to ten dollars day
aud is safe for $4,000 a year. They
are simple, snug little structures, look
ing like the ordinary country grls'
mills. A six horse power will run
one of them. Several northern CAPT
talists have visited the mills, and sew
eral companies are being formed to ge'
them. The Southern papers are tul
of enthusiastic articles concerning
them.
