There is absolutely no waning in the
popularity of white. Never before was
so much white worn. Cloth, alpaca,
homespuns, white china Grape and 9TH
er materials are much in demand, while
inevitably for summer wear white
muslins will be all the rage, dividing
popular favor with white pique, which
will be exceedingly smart made up
with tiny gilt buttons and touches of
gilt trimming.
Among the favorite combinations are
black and white and green and white,
both of which are striking. Particular
ly in foulards these combinations are
noticeable. The prettiest among the
new silks are the white ground fou-
lards with black spots and the white
foulards with green foliage designs
running through them. The latter are
often trimmed with a touch of black
guipure edging flounce of net or one
of white or ecru guipure. The effect is
striklngly original.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-06-11

The American woman is first of all
neat. She likes things snug and trim,
and all this fancy and theatrical bust
ness does not appeal to her. Her crit
ical faculties are free, and when she
sees a thing she asks: "Why is it made
so fanciful? Why not more simpler"
This is the reason why French hats
lose much of their grotesqueness when
identified with the better class on this
side. In fact, good taste is pretty much
the same the world over and the really
stylish American women are similar in
their tastes. The difference is in figure
the association, and the conditions of
life and necessities are really account
able for the difference In dress. The
American woman in the same position
as the French woman would probably
dress similarly, and the French woman
under similar conditions in America
would bring herself undoubtedly to our
dpoint.-Chicag Tribune.

Angus THREATENED WITa MILL
STRIKE
Operatives Demand 10 Per Cent Advanc
General Close Down Expected Next
Monday.
Especial to The State.

Augusta, March 10'-The busi-
ness interests of Augusta, and par
ticularly of West End, the mill dis
trict, are worked up and very blue
over the prospects Of one the largest
cotton mill strikes this section of the
country has had to deal with in
years.
About three weeks ago the opera
tives, principally the carders and
spinners, made demand for a III
per cent. increase in wages to which
the mills replied emphatically in the
negative. The labor organizations
set March II, next Monday, as the
last day of grace and decided to
strike If the demand was not granted.
The mill men say they will not put
on the 10 per cent. increase and the
determination of the operatives makes
the strike inevitable.
Merchants of West End are en-
tirely dependent upon the mill trade
for the life of their business and all
fear with the coming crisis comes
also the collapse of many mercantile
houses.
1t is frequently stated that north
ern mills, principally Borden's "lron
MILL" a print goods establishment Of
Fall River, Mass, are in with the
operatives and are encouraging q
southern strike in order to benefit
themselves.
The operatives talk confidently of
winning but business men see no
chance for them in the fight.
The strike will 60 on Monday and
will effect the Sibley, John P. King,
Augusta factory, Enterprise and all
other Augusta mills and quite likely
those of Langley, Bath, Warrenville
and nearby South Carolina towns.
