New YoRR, March y. Com binationB are
prominent in spring and summer matte
rails. Goods for general wear continually
show plain fabric that ia gold as COM
plement to fancy weaveS or as in cane OF
plsids, whether wool or cotton, very small
checks are an efset to bold patterns. De-
aired contrasts are frequently however
united in the one breAdth additional di-
versity being brought about by the piRc-
ing together Of different textures and
wesves as we'll. Among the last named,
lace effects are leading feature and pro
ducsd in open work, IN applique where
| rich figures rise quite above the surface
| or simulated open work done BY threads
that intertwine i'll lace designs. These
| lace-like patterns are usually in contrast
ing colors and disposed in stripes of
greater or less width. Dress patterns of
line cashmere and other high class woods
are exquisisely finished by deep

and embroidery united, the latter being
executed in varied colorings adapted TO
floral depletion. All the colors indeed
in such fine woods are chosen with care,
and, while producing sometimes much
loudnesa or harsh contrast. Heavy
fringe is o fayorite finish below the lace
work and embroidery and serves TO bring
about an even edge. Dots are likewise q
feature in new goods and run the gamut
from small conventional ones TO others
which in greatest size attain the dignity
Of spots, since they are large az silver
dollar and may show smail dots within
shaded surfaces. Graduated spots, or
perhaps more properly speaking, oiscular
figures give variety. Placed within
stripes, fancy dottings may relieve stif-
ness, and even tine lerge designs just
mentioned may diversity or lie between
stripes with very pronounced effect
Stripes, in truth, are almost AN
ALL PREVAILING FEATURE
in materials where floral patterns ap-
pear, they constantly adorn or alternate
with perpetuslly recurring columns or
where stripes proper do not appear, the
, patterns run lengthwise. Bordered goods
