Challis and Tailor Suitings F rench challis will be very fashionable again with embroidered silk figures, dots and satin stripes. The designs are small, floral, dot or stripe, and grounds light and medium. Storm serges still occupy a place at prices from fifty cents, and are in black, navy, golden brown, olive, myrtle, seal and dark gray. New lines of printed flannels for children's dresses and ladies' wrappers are in small designs and stripes on cream, light and navy blue, Nile, yellow and pink grounds, from fifty cents, and for the same price are French twilled flannels in plain colors for the seaside, mountain and house wear.
Nothing surpasses a tweed for a general wear or traveling gown, or regular tailor-made suit.
Large and small checks in English suitings in knotted yarn effects are on every counter, and sell for one dollar and a quarter to one dollar and seventy-five cents, wearing almost a lifetime. Vigoureux mixtures show changeable or iridescent effects, diagonal and small figures, bringing out brown, cream, beige and green prominently, at seventy-five cents to one dollar and a quarter. Colored silk dots and hairlines form the silk and wool mixtures that are light in weight and from one dollar and a quarter to two dollars and a half per yard. Waffle figures, heavy cords, hairlines, tweed effects and diagonals are all pronounced good in trade parlance. The thin albatross weave has knotty effects on light grounds at seventy-five cents.
