devised TO replace the convenient, economical

There Is nothing absolutely new to be dis
covered In dren materials, except in the colors.
Quaker grays I'D browns are the fashionable
shades for spring wear, commencing at silver
gray, straight through to blue-gray, iron-gray
and bronze-gray, pure drab gray being the most
desirable. Bat ladies must not confound gray
with lavender, - 90 many persons do, or drab
with fawn. When they get pure shade they
should keep II and compare II with others,
