the most magnificent manner possible The
Ladies of Washington will thus have an oppor-
tunity to view at glance the most bewilder-
ing array of the handsomest designs and most
effective and attractive aolo-ings in fancy Wash
Fabrics ever shown in Washington.
The new Fabrics are wonders OF color
printing and designing. aad in lightness Of
weight and color tone, are very suggestive Of
the warm season now SO near at hand.
Customers who know and appreciate the adj
vantage Of so doing, select their Wash Dresses
before their Spring woolel rs and have them
made up and hung away ready Cor instant use.
There are two or three reasons for this; the
dressmakers are not usually rushed with orders;
and many ladies make their own Wash Dresses
during Lent; and last but not least the aSAort-
ment at this time is such that poor selection
is out Of the question. All OF these reasons have
prompted US to hold this occasion" at this
time.
FRENCH sATEENs. Never before were
sateens shown in such ia ihionable variety Of
new colorings and designs. They may well be
called the Queen" of Printed Cottons, for this
seasons productions are Of SURPRISING beauty
and good taste.
In general effect they are hardly distinguish
able from India Silks and there is an originality
in designing and beauty in color-printing sell
dom found outside of the most costly silk
fabrics. The ground colors embrace such ex-
quisite new shades as Old Rose, Vert Green.

GINGHAMs One of the most important of the
Foreign Wash Fabrics is Anderson's Ginghams.
As the name implies they are Scotch. and are
intrinscally the finest Gingha,n manufactured.
The texture is exceedingly fine, the weaving is
close and even the finish is silky, and as for the
patterns and colorings, they were never so
pretty before. These Girghams are SO hand
some and durable they have won for themselves
aworld-wide popularity. The colors are abso-
lutely fast and embrace innumerable Plaids,
Stripes, Checks, and Plain Shades. Acc. per
