Advises Sale Of Cotton


President Harvie Jordan Of the
Southern Cotton Association has
advised the members Of that. asso.
Grafton to sell their cotton while
they can get 10 cents a pound for
1t.
He believes that abnormally high
prices for the staple will in the end
prove detrimental to the farmers.
In this statement of instructions
to the members of the cotton asso.
citation, Mr.. Jordan has this to say
IN the afternoon edition of the At
lantic Journal:
elf crop conditions do not ma.
teriallY improve in the near future
and continue so, much higher
prices may be realized, but I am as
much opposed to abnormally low
prices. My advice to farmers at
this time is 20 gradually sell their
present holdings during the next
two months, demanding at least 10
cents per pound. l would like to
see, the present growing crop
market this fall and winter at
prices between ten and twelve cents
per pound. Such prices would give
the farmer a good profit and at the
same time permit mills to do safe
business. ! shall oppose any effort
to force the price of spot cotton to
abnormally high figures, believing
in the end that they will prove de-
trlmental. Let US be conservative
and consistent. !"
1t is useless to comment on the
probable effect this advice from
Mr.. Jordan will have on the
market. But 1t is matter of in.
tensely dramatic interest to all the
cotton world to note just what this
influence will be during the mex,
few days.
1t is safe to say that the buying
element will be shaken in their
faith and that If they do not sell
there will be tendency to get ou,
of the market entirely for while.
Already the criticisms against
Mr.. Jordan for issuing these IN
structions are beginning to be
heard. One man who has been
identified with the cotton assocla'
ton said Mr.. Jordan has far over.
stepped his authority. But the
conservative element as a rule hold
that Mr.. Jordan has the same right
to tell the farmer when to sell his
cotton as he has had all along to
tell them to hold it for better fig
ures. 1t will largely be matter
Of what side of the market = man
is on whether or not he will uphold
Mr.. Jordan's course.
And the matter of UNFOLDING his
course will scarcely have anything
to do with the effect of the instruc-
tions Mr.. Jordan has issued.
Mr.. Jordan's ideas and instruc-
tions seem to be entirely in line
with the views Of w. p. Brown,
which causes some of the talent TO
believe they have been communi.

a gown or even a separate coat Of this
sort. These separate velvet coats are
going to be very smart and are most
economical for the unfortunate social
butterfly who must make a few gar
ments to do the duty of many. These
cOats, which, by the way, are not +neeesr
sariIy of the directoire or Louis period,
but often of three quarter tailor style,
when worn with an afternoon frock of
some airy material are quite as fetching
as when accompanied by a skirt of fine
face cloth or velvet.
Che latest and perhaps the most dis
tinguished of Partisan velvet novelties
is, called "frisson,' or quivering velvet.
It takes its name from a gently rippled
surface suggestive of light and shade
which produces the effect of shot fab
rio. This velvet is very effective in
light evening colors, and there is a
pretty fancy of wearing with a gown
gems that carry out the nuances in the
''frisson." Almond green and deli
cate parma violet are charming, and
another lovely tone which has taken the
heart of La Mode by storm is known as
aurore. As one may well imagine, this
new tint is of an Elusive pinky blue
which reminds one of the dawn" we
rave about. but seldom see except in
the minds eye.
For day frocks the color range in
velvet is almost unlimited. One of the
most fascinating is a soft mushroom
brown, while a shade lighter than the
favorite mouse has been christened
moths wing" Then there are a wild
hyacinth blue, cactus red and wistaria
nauve, all charming in their way. But
perhaps the most chic is mountain
ash" a shade borrowed from Dame Ma
ture which is truly bewitching. Har-
mony in colors instead OF startling con
trast is the rule in fashions world at
present.
There is a curious metkod of treating
evening toilets and danes froeks=that
of adjoining soft silks, satins and all
| fragile fabrics with heavy punches of
fruit mingled with silver sequins. The
effect is decidedly bizarre and sugges-
! tive of a well ladened Christmas tree.
An ideal material for evening gowns
is velours mousseline, which takes love-
/ ~ lights and shades. A leading atelier
| is making for a smart American a,
beautiful frock in the new bronze green
shade beloved by Parisians. 1t is trim
med with large embroidered velvet but
tons down the front of the skirt and
bodice. A tucked bertha of deep copper
fOolored mechlin lace is the fetching
waist garniture.
A great deal of fur. used as edges and
bands, is put on evening dresses, and a
line of fur about the bottom of a gown
protects it wonderfully and at the same
time imparts an added air of elegance.
Hand embroidery on tucis is a dainty
trimming for the debutante frock, and a
fascinating little dress for this fortu-
nate person IS a baby blue chiffon trim
med with narrow black velvet ribbon.
While upon the trimming subject, re-
markedly attractive effects are gained
from an arrangement OF panels. each
overlapping the other and bordered
with an applique galloon in velvet or
silk in tones a shade darker than the
gown material.

ming dresses seen lately was the shap-
ling Of deep belts at the back into q

Another model I saw was a theater Gre

pale green tulle spread like an aureole
around the head. Two white feathers
so placed as to fall over the brim in
front gave a very novel movement to
the hat.
A shape which promises to become
popular in the exclusive modistic world

'All the worlds stage" So said the
great Shakespeare, who if he had lived

tresses certainly know how to gown

frocks worn were stunning.
Two evening creations were especial

from pink mousseline embroidered with

were draperies of the mousselfne caught
up with ropes of mock gems.

Apropos OF the theater, 1t is essential
nowadays that the mondaine should be
familiar with the latest productions of
the stage, for in exclusive Partisan sa-

gossip is INDUCED in with enthusiasm.
