What has he BROUGHT At
home again, he is besought
by every other importer to
see his gatherings. American
makers too are after him.
What is the fashion ? What
has he got from them all.
There's somethingin names
though a name may stand for
a hundred different things.

looped; mallet; pinched; rat

crimped-silk moss. Braid and
ribbon fringes and marabouts.
Colored fringes and mara
bouts of braid, tape and che

worsted and silk to match
everything plain and mixed in
dress-stuffs.
Black passementeries: With

looms; gimps; mohair
gimps; all-bead fringes straight
and pointed in cut and pressed
beads; pendant drop fringes;
beaded nets, grenadines and
laces; crochet gimps. Colored
passementeries of braids and
cords, narrow and wide-the
widest 3I-inch, for dress-fronts
and panels.
Braided balls, black and

Feather trimmings, Ameri-
can and foreign-American
are much the richer and finer;
the foreign excel in the lower
grades and in extreme comb
nations.
Braids: Black, white and
colors-plain colors andmixed;"+
cotton, worsted, mohair, silk,
tinsel and mixed; shaped braid
trimming.
This by no means exhausts
the trimming resources; but
most of the materials are here
grouped together. The names
alone convey a better notion
of what is going to be worn
than we could otherwise put in
words, however,, many we
might use. The difficulty is
in the endless variety of forms
the various trimmings take.

FRANCHISE is crowding hard |
upon gros-grain silk - has
crowded it out of favor in
strictly fashionable dress. On
the whole, though, we shall
sell more gros-grain than of
heavier cord in spite Of fashion,
There's no difference but the
size of the cord and the lustre,
We have the new silk from 4
Guinet at SI.75 and Sc, Wea

ninety-nine in a hundred will !
buy are at $I.75; a few rare
colors that very few buyers
will care for, Sc.
Black cotton-back velvets of
more than market fitness for
81 to 1915; but we shall have |
to keep those above S2.5 so till
the all-silk velvet at S4 is out
OF the way. Those at Sc and
81 are supposed to be the
cheapest-velvcts are har5l'to
