change in the cotton and linen materials
for summer dresses. Heavy
Articles, such as toile de Nichy, percale,
and coarse cotton goods, were the only
fabrics known for such purposes. The
fashionable tissues OF the present are very
light and elegant, and much more suitable
than those used IN former years. Among
the new Partisan fabrics is "foulardine,"
which Is n very soft goods, and draped
exactly like ioUlard. 1t only requires an
iron passed over il TO make it appear
new. Foulardine" il in many designs.
There are fine checks, stripes, large or
small flowers, dc. The size OF the designs
is generally determined TO suit the figure
of the wearer, and also the style in which
the dress IL made. For instance. for tight
fitting waists, large checks or flowers are
not becoming, as the seams are near 10 each
other, and there are two, and, sometimes.
even three, small side-pieces. The best
way IN which To rr,nge these waists is to
gather them so that the designs are
not broken. Plain satinettes are to
be had in all the nowost s.odos.
BatiSte cachcmires are in the same
colorS az Scotch cachemires, and pro-
ducc exactly the same effect. Dresses

velvet. Glazed batistcs are as effective rs

checks or stripes. Combined with these
