-Albatross cloth is the dealers name
for a soft fine quality of French bunting
which is largely imported this year in
the new colors just described; the sur
face is smooth, that is, not twilled, and
the quality is lighter than the fabric for
merly called mousseline de laine; 1t is
shown in pale blue, heliotrope, and
coachman's drab, to be made up over
skirts of black, purple, or seal brown
velvet. French buntings are again
largely imported, and the finest are
given a crape-li like effect that is new.
Figured silk and wool stuffs, brocaded
in the gayest japanese colors and de-
signs, are imported of as light quality
as the French bunting and are meant to
be used as draperies with the plain
bunting; ten yards of the plain bunting,
with six of figured wool, are sold for
suit. Camel 's-hair, India cashmere,
coteline, and Chuddah cloths are shown
in white, ecru, Satsuma, and pale blue
shades, also the new tea-colorS like
sage green, to be used for whole suits,
or else in combinations like those al
ready described. The newest camel's-
hairs as well as other twilled stuffs, are
smoother, with fewer loose threads OF
the fleece, than those formerly used.
Lace-striped buntings, and bars of lace
work like m-stitching, are also i'm
ported. The wool naelanges are not
heavier than bunting, and are very
quantity colored they are neither plain
nor figured, but are alternating dashes
of two colors, each having only few
threads; thus pale blue is with olive,
pink with green, gray with blue, and
green with cream-color; twilled woods
in cashmere weight and heavier diagon-
ais are also shown in similar
melanges. Diagonal cloths neith-
er too heavy nor too light
for summer suits are principally seen in
the new livery shades, and will be made
up in the simplest manner. Checked
cloths of light quality initiate the En-
glish homespuns in their peculiar colors,
but have occasional silk threads OF
bright red, old gold, pale blue, or green,
to enliven the somber olive and seal
brown shades used in the checks; these
will be chosen for summer travelling
dresses, and there are gray-blue checks
for yachting suits. The fancy plaid
woolens for children's dresses are not
in the colors of the Scotch tartans, but
in gay French combinations. Armure
woolens are shown in all the new colors,
