Black Embroidery on White

Black embroidery on white is
extremely fashionable, providing
the contrasts are not too startling.
AS one well dressed woman said:
"Black embroidery on white
should take the form of delicate
tracery, otherwise it becomes
bourgeois" A dainty white waist
follows after this dictum. 1t is
of fine French flannel. and is per-
haps too elaborate to come under
the head of a shirtwaiSt. 1t is
cut after a shlrtwaist model, how
ever, except that it has deep
cuff. The sleeves are laid in
wide pleats as far down as the
elbow. Each pleat is ornamented
with a slender line of black and
white silk embroidery, and the
end of each is marked by an iuch-
wide medallion, also embroidered
in black and white silk. The
same embroidery trims the box
pleat down the front of the waist,
and a line of medallions runs
across just below the bust line.
But the waist does not depend on
embroidery alone for its ornamen-
tation. The high stock collar is
a combination Of embroidered
white flannel and white lace.
Lace is also appiiqued to form a
shallow rounding yoke, which
extends slightly over the sleeves,
and the cuffs are covered with it.

Cotton Question i'm England.

London, Jan. % The Duke
of Marlborough, under secretary
for the colonies, received depu
tation of the British Cotton Grow
ers' Association at the colonial
office today. The deputation was
much encouraged by the Govern
ment'S attitude. The Duke eX-
pressed the sympathy of the Gov
ernment with the movement to
obtain an adequate supply OF
British grown cotton. Large
areas will Immediately be plant
ed in West Africa. The asSocia-
ton is satisfied that the work
done is past the experimental
stage.
Detailed plans TO restrict gamb-
linz in cotton were discussed al
a meeting of the master cotton
spinners at Manchester today.
The principal propositions were
to discontinue 10 buy futures,
etc ; TO increase the purchase OF
G. / f. (costs, insurance and
freigh,s.) cotton and to carry
larger stocks as protection
against market fluctuations.
An alternative plan was to
purchase for stipulated monthly
