SPRING WOOLENS.

New Cloths and Materials For Stylish
Costumes.
Plaids are most salient among the
new spring goods; there are, however,
not so many popular styles of plaids as
last season; one special style, large
broken French plaid, leads in fashion
goods are seen in all the seasonable col
ors and combinations, the tide Of favor
setting strongly towards blue and gold
colored plaid in lightweight serge,
which when made up on the bias, or in
the Circle skirt style, is really very
handsome for spring street-wear.
Other favorite combinations are
shades of heliotrope and petunia, brown
and beige, olive and reseda green's, all
in large, broken plaids crossing to form
three-inch or four-inch squares, with
very ight-tinted grounds, and strong
contrasts of tone in the colors thus COM
bined.
A special novelty in one-color mate
rial is the Bedford cordurette, beauti-
full lightweight repped cloth, which
comes in a full range of the season S
colors; fawn, almond brown, dark
brown, pearl, silver and Gobelin gray,
burnt rose, Egyptian red, mazarin
blue. and old blue. These cordurettes
make up very prettily for early spring
wear, and have an appearance of being
heavier than they are.
Some of the handsomest of the new
woolens are in robes, or patterns with
strip of yard and half, or there
abouts, of embroidery and appliqued
band of contrasting material, in two
widths to trim the skirt and waist. A
beautiful robe-dress in this class Of
goods is in almond brown cloth, with
bordering of dark brown velvet ap-
pliqued in cross bands with rich silk
embroidery. Striped and figured wool
ems are also seen in some novel pat
terms; a clustered set of narrow tape
stripes forming one wide stripe, in old
blue upon Gobelin gray, is an effective
design; another has pure white stripe
figured with balls of blue.
Cloths in solid color figured with her
ring bone or chevron stripes are likely
to be most popular during the coming
season. The stripes vary in size from a
line as fine as the vale of a diagonal
cloth, to two inches wide Scottish
homespun twills in stripes, irregular or
underlined checks, and mixtures, are
shown in the colors which peasant
women in the north of Scotland and
Ireland dye their own homespun goods,
with dyes made from native forest
barks. Natural gray, natural brown,
and homespun blue are favorite shades
in these peasant woolens, which, though
known as Scottish homespuns. are
really made in France, and are far bet
ter and stronger cloths than their pro-
totypes. Of course, the plausible story
that these goods are actually woven and
dyed with forest barks by peasants in
the wilds of the Scottish islands and
Ireland loses credence when one comes
to examine their soft, firm textures and
even colorings.
