The efforts of European manulac-
turers to produce something new III
coiors and com binations in silks anu
yelvets have resulted in the productloh
of even richer effects than the last au-
tumn season showed. There Is not
that multiplicity of eolors in comDl-
nations seen formerly, but the pesI
things have been taken advantage OF
and reduced to simplicity which pro-
duces an elegance of effect heretofore
uneqnaled. A brief review here OF the
importations of Hover Il Higbee, Su-
perior St, Cleveland, will aid our lady
readers in making their selections for
the coming season. The same rule
which. has modelled the actions of the
| silk weavers has been followed out
largely in the designing and coloring
of dress fabrics.
Hover & Higbee's importations, part
of which have been on exhibition the
| past week, exceed in beauty and vari-
ETY. any of their previous efforts i'll this
direction. This has been made neces-
sary by the growing taste of the large
aud wealthy territory in and about
! Cleveland, whose Judgment in the So
lection of goods is second to no other
community In a slight examination
| of the novelties shown for the season 3
| favor, a few descriptions have been
taken Which may add to the interest
already manifested, though early in
the season. The combination cos
| TUNES are so numerous that news
paper article cannot fifty describe
| them. - ..H-

velvet of the same of the same color on
a groundwork of ecru gold. This is a
new shade of brown, and produces a
magnificent costume. Another beau-

ground, the effect of which is superb.
A bright garnet Razimere is combined
with an apricot velvet into which au-
tUInn leaves and flowers of satin are
interviewer. The contrast is marked
and the whole pleasing costume.

delicate tints are even richer than for
merly, beautiful thing being shown

cream brocaded velvet to match The
same combinations are shown in light
blnes and pinks for party wear.
Velvets are having their era of favor
now, and the impertations comprise
large quantities of the choicest weaves.

unusually large line specially manu-.
factured for them, in all the choicest
shades, and blacks. '','- a t,ts
In black silks the demand is ALWAYS
good, aud in this department Hover &
Higbee show specialties, exclusive
with them, of the choicest weaves OF
Radzimeres, Ottoman. Gros d. Ecrosse,
and Muscovite. Black brocades are

For cioakings the silk department
shows its quota in splendid 60-inch
plain and brocaded Radzimere, Satin

favor for cloakings, jackets, etc., and
