NAV be made of them, there is little
doubt but this fabric will be largely fav-
ored
Perhaps there is no new material that
judging from the description, is better
adapted to the demand of every day dress
than is the new cotton Siciiian. 1t is
thus described in the Dry Goods Report
er: This new cotton has a roller finish
with cashmere effect, with designs from
China silks, challies and sateens. Many
of these goods are striped the variety be-
ing gained by different colors or Persian
or Oriental stripes alternating with plain
ones. There are all over Persian and
cashmere effects, which are as soft i'll
color and as fine in finish as the genuine
goods. Both black and white are largely
used, the former in the shape Of flowers,
vines, japanese and geometric designs.
Often the grounds are of q very brilliant
hue and include the most vivid scarlet,
orange and green, yet are so subdued by
soberer colors that the effect is good
Maize, saffron and cream, lilac, laveu-
der, pearl and silver gray, dove color and
dark gray are used in the same way as
black and white in combination with light
cOlOrs, as well as such dark ones as navy
blue, plum color, maroon. tan and terra

Although the fashioning of the fall
gown may not be definitely announced,
the readers OF the Ladies Column would
be somewhat disappointed if some hint
was not given as to its makeup. 1t is
announced with some show of authority
that the Grecian, Empire, Russian and
DiTectoire models are four distinct types
i'll fashionable gowns for next season,

practically no limit to the creation of
luxurious gowns.
For comfort the double breasted
basques and Norfolk jackets Will be re-
vived, and some dresses VIII have shirt
waists of plaid wool under jackets of plaid
fitted in the back but straight and loose
III front Stitched edges and metal but
tons will give them a neat finish. For
very slight figures the long, well draped
overskirt will be used for plaid gowns,
falling straight in plaits behind and in
front, but taken up slightly on each side
to give glimpses of a skirt beneath, which
is only band or plating of the plaid set
on foundation skirt.
/. In autumn dresses, the journals assert,
there win be little use made of comblna-
tioRS, handsome bordered materials TAX
ing the place, but there has been i'm
ported some Paris made dresses for
Youthful wearerS that show cream-w white
woods in combination with the new
plaided and striped surahs that have but

cream white Ursuline cloth forms a
bodice, and long graceful draperies over
a skirt of ecru and cafe-au-lait plaid
The blouse vest is of the plaid, with
brown velvet revers on the wool bodice.
Another one of the prettiest models
from this great emporium of fashion is

green. 1t is made with a short skirt aul
