The rich satins, lately SO little used,
are restored to favor, that their bril-
liant lustre may enhance the beauty
or the gay gowns now worn. Plain
ssatins are used for parts Of gowns,
Tor coats Of figured dresses, for sleeves
OF net gowns, id for demi-trains with
brocaded coats. But the caprice of
the season is for striped satins in mar
row serpentine lines, or undulating
diagonal waves across the breadth,
or the favorite chevron stripes in
many zigzag points from selvage to
sewage, or else meeting in the middle
OF the breadth to form a single row
OF points, Satin and faille alternate
IN these fancy stripes, and many are
OF contrasting colors, as lilac and pale
blue, buff with blue, tan with green,
yellow with white, or rose with green.
Tongue-like points of rosy pink satin
almost meet in the middle of white
tallle breadths. Other soft satins
have diagonal stripes of three shades
OF gray, or else of brown shaded to
cream-color. Fish-scale designs, shells,
and leaf-like points, with their in dent
ed edges of silver or gold, are among
new broeades, as pink leaves edged
with silver, or gray satin leaves with
gold. Baskets holding single BIOS
SONS or heaped up and overrunning
with flowers are favorite designs for
satins. The futtering ribbon and
bow-knot designs and the small Pom
padour clusters of flowers are all re-
tanned.
A novelty is chevron MORE stripes
on gros grain that is slightly change
able, as gray MORE in points on
changeable pink and gray Silks. The
old shade cafe au lait is seen again in
new silks. Changeable gros grains of
two very light colors are powdered
with blossoms, and striped as we'll.
Glace silks have diagonal satin stripes
OF contrasting colors. Dark silks are
mtrlcately patterned with vine stripes
crossing diagonally reversed stripes of
great width. Black silks have large
oval figures OF color forming chevron
strlpss-blue, reseda, rose, or green.
Tatfetas of light weight for summer
gowns are OF extremely light colors
striped with white and strewn with
flowers. - 49,.
