Announcements of the ball received
IN Columbia yesterday are in part as
follows:
cone of the objects Of the ball is
to populariZe the use of cotton fabrics
and so increase the demand for the
cotton. The statisticianS who have
become interested in the affair figuI .
out that if the women of America are
induced to wear cotton dresses when
ever they can be worn, without dis
comfort the consumption of cotton in
the United States will be increased by
at least a million bales year.
"Cotton costumes will be generally
worn by the ladies who attend, but
cotton dominoes will be provided a<
the ball for those who are unprovidcd
with cotton dresses. Several thousand
cotton bolls have been ordered a.
bouttonieres for the men, and every
one will be expected to wear cotton
gloves. One concern manufacturing
cotton dress goods of exceptional
beauty has offered to present everv
lady attending the ball with enough
material for a complete costume, and
another is anxious to give all the men
cotton cloth out of which they can
have dress suits made.

sentative members Of the New York
