AND STYLISH GOwSS-HISTS
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
The brilliant, swiftly changing hues
of the mid summer sunset sky, the
soft silvery sheen of moonlight on the
sea, the blush of the crested clouds, at
early dawn, the tender green of the
baby leaves of fruit and forest trees,
and the colors of field and garden flow
ers, have been carefully caught and
imprisoned in the fine fibre meshes of
the fabrics presented for approval this
season.
Heavy brocades, rich silks and vel
vets, stifTly stand aside, and the form
feminine appears gracefully svnthed
in the cliuging garb of an Undine,
clasped with a zone of Jewels rare, or
draped with wonderful laces or chif-
fons, veritable fairy fabrics, accepted
in the most matter of course fashion
by the goddess of our present day
society.
Curious KaleidC scope effects are scat
tered over the changeable surface OF
Surahs, India, China and Japanese silks,
and grapes come in the same gro1nd
colors, with similar odd and pleasing
designs, while Challis, a prime favor
ite is varied with silken or Javanaise
stripes, but still shows the conven-
tional figure or new blossom design.
Luminous Lansdowne, that undu-
lating, exquisltely fine, yet firm tex
ture, stands first in the list of high
class materials suitable for graduating
