What is Going to be III StNle between
this Date and Next Easter.
From the London Quccn.l
The summer sales are no sooner over
than the leading London shops begin to
display the new materials for autumn and
winter Already number of questions
reach us as to what will be worn for the
coming season we therefore hasten to lay
before our readers the salient points in
the new wooden goods, pretacing our de-
sCription by remHrking that rarely has
there been so much that is positively new.
Canvas and plush are the key notes on
which the several changes are rung.
Nothing that is smooth or closely woven
would seem TO be tolerated everything is
coarse and rough. There are many self
colOred fabrics characterized by fancy
weaving, but Us Il rule all plain cOloringS
are intended to be made with stripes for
stripes are the fashion without rival,
unless it be in wide stuff for cloaks, which
display arabesque designs in frieHe, al
ways large well covering and important.
Canvas proper is cOnsidtred too thin for
autumn, though those who wear it in the
summer know full well that it is any
thing but cool in warm weather. 1t has
been brought out now, however, with II
Il lining of il distinctive covering, such as
yellow beneath blue, red beneath green,
and 50 ON. This is all in one, but has the
appearance of one stun laid ON the other.
The prevailing fabric, however, is closely
woven, and is sometimes called beuediC-
tine cloth, being like bunting. This sea-
son we are to name it mountain baiZe, and
baiZe conveys exactly the material only III
glOriled torn.
Diagonal grounds and diagonal fancy
weaving are everywhere to be seen. In
terplaited grounds there are in great va
riety, the newest, the close, even Panama
plat, associated with the Panama hats {:
indeed, Panama mating is the name of
IL new cloth. Tiusel is interbiended with
these diagonal grounded cloths, when, as
most frequently happens, they display
knickerbOCker stripes-a term which
means loose, irregular loops and tufts
apparent on the surface. pOlntille cloth
and ottoman mouchete have pinpoints and
small motifs in silk, but they are not so
general by any means as knickelbOCker
stripes or contrasting tones, sometimes of
two or three tones blended, often speCk-
| led. The broad, three-inch wide stripes
of IL contrasting color iii Il velvet on the
baize and diagonal grounds are new and
handsome, but costly; SO are the cloths
with not Il half-lnCh of groundwork Visi-
bic between the clOse-Set plush stripes in
mixed cOlorlng, one mouse, another brown
or terra Gotta, OF tabaC, all the shades APP
pearng i'll one piece. only Il little of this
I
great effect.
Astrakan stripes on the selfcolurcd
wool Is Il new departure. Hitherto we
/ have confined this material either to man
| ties or trimming. quite new Is Il series
of diamonds and lines in plush covering
| the entire surface Of the material. Gaiun
! is Il remarkable novelty; it owes ITS name
to the fact that the stripes, if cut down,
would form good salon trimming. The
ground is plain cUlOr-blue, green or
/ bruWn--anu on this are altCrnatt tCu-inch
and iive-lnch stripes in oriental CulOring,
with wide scallups on either side the of the
design. Well made up it is very stylish.
. Panama DOucle Is the name of Il coarse
interplated material, which looks like
some Of those on which we have worked
crOsS-stltch patterns. and IL new wire
grounded greuadne shows iirnly-tWisted
threads, like the open-WOrk busters. With
regard to cOlorinS, all these stuifS are
made i'll greens blues, browns, and deep
red. Chrysanthemum is Il new shade of Il
deep reddish mauve, but ii it is not much
used by itself
Plain CLOTH velvet and rich silk are not
| to monOpollze the nantes. There Is a
large choice in the WOODEN Astrakan and
III litaua, viz, Il diagonal ground cloth,
almost hidden by bold conventional Goth
| lc designs, worked out in trise and with
striped velvet for the centre of the pattern
sometimes, when it is known as "Amata,' "
Snowflake cloths Will be largely used for
children. The petticOating is not new in
material or patterns 1t displays stripes
more or less wide, in new and
brilliant cOlOrs some tiny trse stripes,
showing Il combination of tints-brOWn,
blue and gold, grenat and blue, with
brown; these are the newest.
