REPPED FABRICS.
Three Varieties of Imported Goods From

Three Varieties of Imported Goods From
Which Stylish Costumes May be Made.
Repped fabrics are largely used in
imported costumes, and.are shown here
principally in three materials, viz.
Sicilienne, gros-grain, and Irish poplin
The Sicilienne is silky and soft, alike or
both sides, Grapes beautifully, and is
now shown in the single widths that
cut advantageously for dresses. 1t
comes in all the dark rich colors for the
entire dress, with elaborate embroider-
les wrought on the material or else APP
piled for the trimming. The plum and
dahlia shades are particularly stylish in
Sicilienne dresses, and black dresses of
this material are very elegant, end are
eros grain, faille, Bengaline AMI Victo-
rienne are the pure soft silks so much
used by Worth in combination with
figured or with plain velvets. There
r elegant black gros grain O. faille
dresses now made with their only Or
nament pinked fiounces of the material
laid on pinked bands Of velvet. For in
stance, the round skirt has the short
apron drapery and long back drapery
of plain black gros grain, while across
the front and side breadths covering
the space from the apron down are
three gathered ruf1les of the silk pinked
in leaves two inches deep, rest
ing on straight black velvet three
inches wide that is pinked in SINH
lar leaves. The silk basque has
a plain position back, but the front has
a pleated vest, with the inner pleats
falling on two pinked velvet bands.
This simple design is repeated in all
dark silks, and affords q relief from the
elaborate combinations so much used
at present. Pym's Irish poplins are
again in the market in all the stylish
shades of brown, dahlia, and smoky
grays, and are also used in London
dresses in bright shades Of poppy red
and in navy blue. The striped poplins
are in great favor abroad, especially in
red with green, blue, or brown, and are
employed for skirts, with a basque of
the solid-colored poplin in either the
bright or dark shade. There are also
pretty house dresses imported in very
light shades of poplin, such as ecru,
fawn, pearl, gray, or the palest sky
blue. These are made in the quaint
yet simple-looking styles that young
English women have adopted, with the
round waist folded in front in surplice
fashion, and gathered to a belt, while
the skirt has very long and graceful
drapery that nearly covers the founda-
tion, requiring only q ruche or narrow
ruttles at the foot; this in the Highest
golden brown shades is worn by bru-
nettes and blondes. 1t is thought
sufficiently dressy for an afternoon re-
ception, a short mantle is added of vel
vet of the same shade, and the toque-
which partakcs both of a bonnet and q
turpan in shapc-is made with a brim
of blue velvet and a soft crown of the
1oplin.-Hupey''s Bazay.

100000 Cone!

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following mar
vel. Captain W. F. Swasey, the Oldest pio-
neer of the coast, makes q statement of the
intense suffering of his friend Colonel D. J.
Williamson, an Army officer Of distinction,
and an Ex-U. S. Consul, who was attacked
in the winter of 1862 with violent rheu-
matism. So great was his agony in after
years he became a helpless cripple, and
after trying numberless remedies, the baths
of other countries and spending a fortune
Of $4,000, the disease seemed to assume a
more v%irulent type. Finally, he was per-
suaded to try St.Jacobs Oil, the great con-
queror of pain. 1t worked a miracle OF
cure. In a letter to the Chronicle he con-
firms Captain Swasey's statement and adds:
81 cheerfully give my unqualified attesta-
ton to the truthfulness of the statement,
because I feel perfectly certain that a
knowledge of my cure by st. Jacobs Oil
will prove the means of relieving hundreds
of sufferers"
