will be run upon Highland plaids,
maid up in short kilt costumes, will
be variously fashioned in imitation
of the national garb of Scotland.
But the patterns are small and the
colors subdued--quiet shades Of blue
or green red if introduced being in
narrow streak which gives only
slight relief. In very diffsrent style
comes India camel's hair, which
ranks as an elegant and leading ia
brio. The feature of this class OF
goods are long hairs lying fat on
the surface. Bourrottes materials

into black will DO very fashionable.
Among standard black goods, the
grand opera cashmeres and alpacas,

A word about now costumes
Here we have the Duchesse po!on-
aise, which combines two different
styles basque and apron front,
with polonaise back. The Emeralda
overskirt is stylish and graceful, be-
ing very long with plastrow down
the middle of the front, the side
pieces laid in pIaits, aud the back
irregularly draped. The Jessica basque
is new and very pretty, and the
Lauretta jacket is charming model
for an out door garment in light
cloth or en- suite with the costume.
