SATINES.

Summer Wear.
HE lines Of satineS Of domestic
manufacture are very handsome and
hold their own we'll beside the French
goods There is certainly n very de-
cided difference in the patterns, but
our patterns show handsome designs
and Il 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
mlred. These are t~hirty-two inches
wide and sell at twelve and onc-half
cents q yard. All the new summer
tints are represented and u handsome
line was noticed in stripes and plaids
with plain material for combination.
One piece shows a wide stripe of Rus
sian blue alternating with Il gray shade,
and these are dotted with Persian de-
signs and colorings. There are satines
in red, brown and garnet grounds, with
unique gcomctrical figures in yellow.
Japanese designs also flourish in these
goods and are particularly taking. The
toile du Nords appear in in charming
tihts 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 u
pretty, desirable fabric, and the price
is extremely moderate.
Many of the ParkhiIl stripes are
lovely. the Claghorns also showing
beautiful eolorings and varieties. The
large plaids are also in charming
minGling of tints, and most desirable
school and country dresses can be made
OF the line stripes replS scented on dark
colors. Among the new stripes are
those Of various widths in the now fash
ionable so!ferino color with white, and
thes anne style is shown in the various
browns with white. Solferino is n
color that was much liked a few wears
ago, but went out of fashion altogether.
Recently 1t was resurrcctcd 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

costume parasol will be a leading
feature in spring and summer fashions, |
and it is already limited that the new
styles are surprisingly lovely.
Gilbert iiannels are excellent fabrics

colors are rod, brown and blue, and the
bright reds are very pretty trimmed
with black. Such gowns are very de-
slrablc for the entire year. as there are
many days in summer that they are
most comfortable, particularly if one
not feeling well, or AT the seaside.
