YITHIN the last few years black
w and black and white oombina-
w tons have been developed along
such highly decorative lines. both in
clothes and furniture, that It Is rather
hard to think of this midnight hue as
being the color significant of mourning.
There is such difference in the way we
use black nowadays Never since the
days of the Egyptian temple builders,
who used just enough black, in oombina-
ton with reds blues and yellows to
bring out the vividness Of those eoiors,
and at the same time to tone them into
more interesting contrasts, has black
been handled so sISillfully as of late.
And now we use il most effectively with
white, and thereby produce combinations
ten times more brilliant and more strik-
ing than would be possible with the
brightest rainbow tints
Perhaps because black has been cou-
pied with white so much, women in
mourning are especially careful not to
wear black and white combinations,
though this used to be considered half
mourning. Nowadays the woman who
dons the habiiments Of woe goes en-
tirely in black, or else entirely in white.

never half and half. II she elect to be

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. IL
Promptly at noon today the indus
tries of Seattle footed their whistles

loud and long as their employees re-
sumed. People rushed to stores and
offices, swamping the business sec
ton with efforts to make up for five
days industrial tieup.
Although the general strike conf
mittee had ordered all union men to
remain away from their jobs until
noon, the hour set for ending the
strike, the street cars ran last night
and this morning with full union
crews. Several other unions gave
their men permission to work, this
giving the situation an aspect of a
clash in policy among the unions.
The dominating question this
morning was "What is the cost of
the strike to labor, the industries
and the city," and whether there
would be any discrimination against
strikers by employers. Leading en-
ployers said they have no intention
of exercising discrimination, but all
refused to permit themselves to be
quoted directly. There is no talk Of
open shops.
A rough estimate of the strikes
cost was: Lost output of ship yards
and factories, $4,000,000; loss in
wages to 10000 strikers, averaging
SIS per day, $3,375,OOO; with heavy
though unestimated inroads into the
city treasury for protective emer.
gency measures, and into union strike
benefit funds.
