The Sanspareil poplins brought out
for the early trade, exhibit some of the
characteristics of the old-time Irish
poplins, but are decidedly finer in quail

them particularly desirable for hand

Nelveteen is u marvel as at present

velvet for all the purposes for which the
latter is used. The ..Nonpareil'' re-

A pretty fancy for low bodices is a
group of finely plated crepe lisse,
which is closed at the throat by high

puff of white muslin with small colored
dots. Get half yard of the muslin,,
cut it in bias strips, and run the edges
