Fashion proclaims a velvet winter,
which is tantamount to saying that it
will be a velveteen winter for those
who can not afford the costly fabrics OF
Lyons. The Louis velveteen is one
of the very best makes which are upon
the market. 1t is made in every con-
ceivable shade, especially in the new
tones of heliotrope, gray and blue. The
dyes are admirable, whilst in surface it
is silky and sheeny, and in weight it is
marvelously light. For smart cos
tune during the evening season nothing
would look better than a slightly trained
skirt, made ''umb brella'' fashion, to de-
fine the figure closely, and over it
three-quarter coat, opening with hand
some lapels to display waistcoat of
rich brocade. Dressed in this manner
young lady would be at once fashion
able in appearance, while she would
have the agreeable consciousness of
having effected a good bargain from a
pecuniary point of view. 1t is worth
noticing that strong foundation Innings
are supplied to match every shade of
the velveteen.-N. Y. World.
