English: "The fad for embroidered shirt waists which was prevalent last spring is increasing. Designs have changed, however, Instead of the designs of vines, grapes and leaves, the cross-stitch designs are being used. Some waists have the entire fronts covered with cross-stitch designs. Others have the straight band down the front and the collar and cuffs thus elaborately ornamented. This design is intended for the front plait of a linen waist."
