weekly, and eagerly sought after, The
prices of materials are trifle less than
those of last year, and the sales SO far have

greater demand, and the dry goods deal
ers are confident of increased activity in
the trade.
Brocaded silks are coming into fashion,
and elegant patterns have been imported
this season. A black ground, with yarie-
gated flowers in green, pink, orange, pur-
pie and golden brown, is very attractive,
each tint being beautifully shaded.
The most beautiful of these styles has
delicate lilac ground, with clusters of rich
ly-tinted flowers scattered here and there
upon the surface. These flowers are all
embroidered by hand, displaying artistic
skill in the design and blending of colors,

with rich lace will make an elegant evening
toilet.
