HANDSOME SATlNES.


Beautiful Dress Fabrics for Spring and
Summer Wear.
The lines of satineS of domestic
manufacture are very handsome end
hold their own well beside the French
goods. There is certainly Il very de-
cided difference in the patterns. but
our patterns show handsome designs
and a fine quality in fabrics. There
are a number of reddish brown and
other brown grounds, strewn with odd
figures in gold color that are much adj
mired. These are thirty-two inches
cents yard. All the new summer
tints are represented and handsome
line was noticed in stripes and plaids
with plain material for combination.
One piece shows wide stripe of Rus
sian blue alternating with a gray shade,
and these are dotted with Persian de-
signs and colorings. There are satines
in red, brown and garnet grounds, with
unique geometrical figures in yellow.
japanese designs also flourish in these
goods and are particularly taking. The
toile du Nords appear in in charming
tints and colors and look as fresh and
attractive as possible. These standard
fabrics have a claim upon women folks
that would be hard to obliterate. They
wear and do up beautifully and are a
pretty, desirable fabric, and the price
is extremely moderate.
Many of the Parkhill stripes are
lovely, the Claghorns also showing
beautiful colorings and varieties. The
large plaids are also in charming
mingling of tints. and most desirable
school and country dresses can be made
of the fine stripes represented on dark
colors. Among the new stripes are
those of various widths in the now fash
iOnable solferino color with white, and
thes anne style is shown in the various
browns with white. Solferino is
color that was much liked few years
ago, but went out of fashion altogether.
Recently it was resurrected by Worth
who made rich dresses of it for nobility
and that settled the question.
The plaids are outlined with fancy
cord effects and are very pretty. Para
soils come to match many of these
handsome goods and will be used alto
gether in Paris during the coming sea-
son. In buying these materials it
would be well to remember this fact
and secure enough to have parasol
made. The expense adds but little 20
the toilet, but the style is greatly inn
proved. There is nothing that so beau
titles woman's dress as becoming
parasol. 1t is a most graceful acces-
sion and is altogether charming. The
costume parasol will be leading
feature in spring and summer fashions,
and it is already limited that the new
styles are surprisingly lovely.
Gilbert f1annels are excellent fabrics
for morning gowns. with accessories of
velvet; fancy braid or a front of surah
makes one more dress. The favorite
colors are red, brown and blue, and the
bright reds are very pretty trimmed
with black. Such gowns are very de-
sirable for the entire year, as there are
many days in summer that they are
most comfortable. particularly if one
is not feeling well, or at the seaside.
A model seen in Gobelin blue has the
back cut off in blunt point just below
the waist, and plated skirt added;
princess fronts cut away from the neck
and the edge laid in two kilt plaits on
each side eyer plated vest. and a
narrow tablier of pale blue surah. The
deep cuffs, pockets and high collar are
of the light surah laid in small tucks.
The same model may be made of white,
with plaitings of yellow surah. each
plait caught by row Of briar stitch
ing. The edge of the princess fronts
in this case may be trimmed with gold
galloon. All wrappers should be rather
loose and perfectly easy for louuging.
Striped JERSEY fannels can bc made
very dressy trimmed with velvet acces-
sories ala moire ribbons. Bgooklyn
