The modiste who keeps pace with the
fashions of the hour must consider not
only how garments are to be made, but
of what they are to be made. The style
of makeup is sometimes a matter OF
freak or accident, but the material is a
matter of forecast and study. II we can
find out what the manufacturers are
about we may understand in advance
the more essential basis of questions OF
dress.
The wearer of black goods, be h IN
mourning or out of it, will be glad to
know that the Priestleys have brought
out q silk warp figured Henrietta cloth
that is a marvellous example of fine weav-
ing and finish. These goods are shown
in a great variety of designs, artistic and
beautiful. Some of them are covered
with small flowers, trailing vines, grasses,
reeds and ferns, as the material is in
tended to be used for the entire costume.
Another pattern has stripes OF armure
and twill, with detached flowers, small
posies, or a running vine thrown over
both; again the vine will be seen only on
one stripe, leaving the other plain. Where
single blossoms or Leaves are used, naIT
OF them are reversed, so that there is no
up and down. to the goods. These
heavier, handsomer patterns are intended
for wraps and Directoire coats to be used
with the plain Henriettas. Many OF the
Henrietta designs are reproduced III
broche mohair goods with wonderful
effect. Stripes of all the popular weaves
alternate with the plain twill of the mo-
hair, embellished with arabesque, floral
designs and geometrical figures.
One of the new silks shows a pro-
nounced cord, which makes it look very
much like poplin. 1t is displayed in fine
stripes about a quarter of an inch IN
width, one strip being of some. positive
tone, while the contrasting one Is white.
Black, navy. mahogany, seal, empire
green and steel are the colors noted, com
Dined in each instance with white; ana
as the stripes are SO narrow that an en-
tire costume may be made of them, there
is little doubt but this fabric will be
largely favored.

yellow and white strands, the white
forming a ilmy silvery shade on the sur
face. On this is spread a delicate bro
caded design of mossrose buds, stalks and
leaves. full size, in pink and yellow. AT
the edge is q rich border of large roses,
leaves and buds, in pink and yellow.
1t is as rich as it is artistically beautl-
full.
The refinement that is characteristic of
the texture of the new woollen also pre-
walls in the fashionable colors. The MAJ
jority of these are lovely tones in gray,
rich shades in brown and green, dahIia,
strawberry, mahogany and fawn. The
Edinburgh diagonal is a stylish suiting,
appropriate for general wear. The silk
and wool striped fabrics are exceptionally
attractive. The Sandringham is woven
like a fine homespun. The Lorne stripe
shows fancy silk lines in various rich
standings of the ground color. The Pic
cadilly woods are in solid dyes, a shaded
effect being given by varying the method
of wearing. The display of plaids for the
autumn is remarkably rich. The plaids
are large as a rule, but not gaudy, there
being less of the genuine Tartans than of
plaids and stripes which display only two
%colors; for example, fawn and dark rose
colored heliotrope, pine green and oak,
gray and strawberry, silver and Roman
red. Orange and black plaids are shown,
and for the children there are pretty
checks in cream and brown, terra Gotta
and ecru, black and white, etc., with gay
Scotch borders.-Dry Goods Reporter.
