Special Correspondent to MIDLAND JOURNAL.
Shot fabrics are the latest caprice
of French and..English manufacturers.
They come in all materials, and. are
used in combination with other goods
or en- suite. F
English cloths in checks, stripes,
bars, plaids and blocks are fashion.
ably employed for fall tailors jackets,
listers, and costumes entire, and can
be seen at Lord and Taylor's.
Cheviots striped and shaded are
also shown with irregular dashes of
color and share favor with plain
cloths in shades of blue, yellow,
brown, tan or ecru woven in large
diagonal or basket cloth figures.
New designs in frise wool, with
silk plush woven in blocks or shad-
ed stripes are among the new messy
heavy weight fabrics shown at the
strongholds of style.
Camels hair fabric of fine pure
type, with downy blocks of loose
hair.in colors, massed in irregular
figures and block diagonals illumed
with bourette stripes and blocks in
richest Oriental dyes, are among
next seasons novelties
Velvet in barred and plaided de
signs are shown for combinations,
and silk pushes in byadere and
beaded designs will also be used for
panels, collars, cuffs, vests and bord-
ers of dresses in silk and wool.
Silks in watered or repped designs
with stripes of black tinsel or silver
will share popularity with the favor
tie gros-grain and brocades of form
er seasons.
Ribbons for garnishing costumes,
show an admixture of gilt, silver and
Ro man colorings, and harmonize adj
mirably with the velyets now in pro-
cess of manufacture.
The favorite shades with sojourn-
ers in summer haunts is tan tinged
with carmine.
The favorite color for fall fabrics
are prune, Russian green, seal brown
and dark blue; for evening toilettes,
maize, jonquil yellow, red, deep gray,
and coral pink.
Coarse cotton net comes in dark
colors for day wear, and delicate
tints for evening. The net is made
over silk, the same color as the net.
The coarse-grained woolens with
stripes IN several tints will be used
for the under shirt, and the same
material plain, with a woven border,
for the corsage and over-shirt.
Other wooden goods are manufact-
ured with figured panels for the
sides and front on shirts and for the
vest.
Corsage will be plain with a bout
FAINT plastron; some are shirrcd and
worn with a belt.
Skirts will be very simple, worn
entirely without trimming, a round
over-skirt, merely hemmed and drap-
ed very high on the hips, and "a few
plaits in the back to relieve the
straightness.
Other skirts will be made without
trimming, a wide silk scarf draped at
the front, and long scarf ends, at the
back. Some times the scarf is made
of net, instead of silk.
English cloths in checks, stripes,
bars, plaids, and the large blocks are
used for next seasons listers and
jackets. Inch squares of tan. brown,
red, olive and blue are differently ar
ranged in these fabrics. They are
rough on the surface yet soft to the
touch.
The combinations of red and blue
is often found in stripes but seldom
in blocks or bars. Yellow browns
we find in all block goods.
Scotch cheviots are shown in half
inch stripes alternately red and blue,
ten and blue, gray with black and
green with brown.
Shaded cheviots, melange of sew
eral colors will next season be eS.
.tensively used. The dashes are in
two shades of q single color.
