Fashion In Dry Goods.


In silk dress goods, satin faced and gros
grain weaves appear In all colors, including
satin rhadames, radzimir and satln duchesse.
They are matched in shades by plain and
hrocaded velycts aud silk plnshes, some Of
them marvels of art work. No special color
prevails this season to the exclusion Of
Others, but the popular shades are bordeaux,
garnet, myrtle, coachman, yandyke brown,
wine, olive and marine The new frize effect
Is had In velvet brocades aud wool stuifs. 4.
Black silks, always in favor, are shown in
five or six new weavings, as well as various
satiu-iaced makes, from Is cents to S5
We wee shown beautiful silk goods for
bridal and evening attire, having garni;ur-
ings in two-tone brocade yelvets Of magniil-
cent description.
BY the residence In Europe, Of their Mr..
Hatch, the firm is able to secure the newest
productions OF foreign markets, and the
collection of dry goods in the various depart
mcnts Is worthy of a visit from the curious,
even II not buyers.
The vagaries Of fashion are such that we
wonder where the seasons novelties come
from, but the invisible creator OF fashions
proves equal to the task Of casting into the
shade those OF previous years and making
new costumes nj cessity.
Velvets are always desirable, their remark
able soflness of tone and adaptation as swhole
costumes or in part, enables them to maln-
tain their superiority.
Many colored and black yelvets for suits
ere made up quite plainly and worn as street
and evening costumes.
Cloth fabrics for "talor made" suits are
in grta, favor aud L. ]. Baldwin, Hatch u
Co., have imported them in tans, olives,
blues, gcccns, greys and browns, tweed
effects, tricoL weaves and broadcloth finish
at prices from sl25 TO IS 80.
The variety OF wool dress fabrics Is great,
some Of the newest having drap d. ete effect
on one side and biaritz on the 9th r, also q
woolly ribbed cloth not as heavy as broad
cloths but nearly as handsome. Plaids hold
their own especially for children.
Among lower grades Of dress goods were
shown Stevens specked wool cloths at 20 cite.
per yard, q very genteel and useful fabric;
| but what astonished us was fair quality OF
plaid and figured dress goods at cents
per yard.
There arc many novelties In dress trim
mugs, hardly less important In these days
than dress stuffs themselves. There are
passemunteries Ia flowers, vines or arabes.
ques, feather trimmings OF regal beauty, and
galloons in basket weayes and with gold and
sil r threads.
Gloves are also necessary adjuncts to fine
dresses. Messrs. L. /. Baldwin, Hatch & Co
are the importers of the well known alexan-
DIRE kid gloves, and perrin Md gloves.
Fash enable gloves this season some IL
undressed as well as glazed kid, mousque
tarle cut and wilhs buttons. The backs o
stree. kids have heavy embroidery. GloveI
laced with cord were never much liked ant
are now wholly discarded. silk and wooler
gloves with long wrists are much worn fol
the street.
Passing TO the lace department the malt
mind gets somewhat besildered, aud suct
words as duchesse, point, moresque, orienta
guipurc, with embrolderies, laces and fchu'
get strangely mixed, aud we are left with
visions OF airy tissues and lacy nothings
which 20 our female friends would doubtless
mean supreme delight Dainty bits Of llnet
muslin called handkerchlefs from 10 cents Il
$40. apiece were attractive even to us.
Fashionable hosiery for the autumn Il
mostly In plain colors, back predominatlDg
Taking the elevator we ascend 10 the coal
department and were shown the new 'vlsltes
garments, beautiful things 10 brocade velve
some novel dolmAns, warps and Russian
circulars; long plush cloaks and lonI
brocade velvet cloaks with elegant lining
and garnitures.
Seal fur sacques are In renewed favor ant
appeal to one ss no other garment does II
cold weather.
On the same Goor Messrs L. l. Baldwin
Hatch & Co., exhibit foreign and domestic
shawls. We bad no idea OF the amount o
monuy necessary TO carry stock Of what ar,
known as India camels'-hAlr shawls, cOstiDI
from fifty to five hundred dollars apiece
There are novel styles OF paisley, brOchc
persian, reversible, woolen and beaver shawl
IRON 75 cents up.
We passed hastily through tue Stocks o
ladies' furnishings, misses cloaks and cloth
Ing, Infants goods aud iur trimmings, an'
took the elevator Tor the housekeeping
department.
Fsshion dictates IN matters OF houS
sdornment as IL does In dress, and what wa
considered very elegant ten years ago ID nov
surpassed by STYLES which borrow from III,
