ENGLISH WALKING JACKETS.
Double breasted English walking
Jackets are made in large numbers for
fall and winter wraps. The materials
employed are Scotch Cheviots, diagonal
cloths as finely twilled as vigogne, and
| other soft wool cloths. The trimmings
are broad Titan braids, loosely woven,
ike Panama canves, and buttons cover
ed with this braid. Black is the pre-
vailing color. They cost from SIS to

The novelties in fail silks are now dis
played on counters OF retail stores, and
some idea Of their price is obtained.
One Of the most tasteful novelties is

woven is basket checks. This is meant
for over dress to be used with velvet or
plain gross grain, and costs S.
yard. 1t comes in, all the dark stylish
shades OF suits, such as myrtle green,
prune, seal brown, slate blue, gray,
navy blue and black. Moyenage bro
caded silks or single color, blue, green,
or brown are also shown for parts of
suits. They measure twenty four inches
and costs $3 80 yard
The winter gros grains are exceeding
ly soft and of medium fine reps. They
are to be made up in connection with
plain and figured velvets and with matte
silks; hence merchants have imported
| them IN shades to match the handsome
novelties just described. At every large
house the announcement is made that
myrtle green, seal brown, and slate blue
will be the leading colors. Prices
range lower than those of last season.
Dress silks begin as low as $1:5O a
yard, In new colors as well as in black,
| and increase to S. or Sc. For So and
even less can be bought handsome gros
grains for costumes. Trimming silks
IN all the rich dark shades are 81 :35
yard. Striped silk for parts of cos
tunes, black with colored stripe, can
be bought for Is cents yard in quail
ties that formerly sold for 81.
Hand-woven black silks are highly
commended by reliable merchants.
They are spun and woven entirely by
hand instead of by the power
loom. hey are richly repped lustrous
blue black silks, very soft and finely
finished; and as this softness and lustre
are in the silk itself, they are not lost
by usage. They are imported in four
different grades, and sold for s., $3.50,
So. and So, so yard. they are said to
wear better than any other silks. Those
at So are as RIGA and lustrous as many
silks sold for 81 or S. yard.

and black plaided with gold are the best
patterns. These colors are also shown
in irregular stripes. Price % cents.
The soft-fnished twilled cambr cs mi
tate Cheviots, and have diagonal stripes
and plaids. Blue, brown, emu gray are
the prevailing colors. n Wy blue
