NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Among the
most striking goods, are woods wrought
upon by velvety cords that frequently
In contrasting colors, cross the breadths
at intervals of an eighth of an inch.
AN example in dark brown, shows pale
gray cords which diversified at Intervals
by various bright colors, produces an
Illusion of shaded stripes. Other rich
materials are called either corduroys or
velveteens and display succession of
closely placed cords, which however lie
loosely and here the intermixtures of
color are often very gay with perhaps
an addition of chaDgeable effects. Rich
woods show narrow, half inch long bits
of plush placed an inch apart and these
are held in position by silken cross
stitchings in contrasting color, while
single threads to match, run up and
down the breadth. The darning stitch
materials which were brought out dur
ing summer, are also reproduced now in
heavier weight fabrics and will contri-
butte share in general enliyenment.
They display on dark groundworks,
single or double threads of pale or
bright silk run in darning stitch and
when set near together in greater OF less
number, form unique stripes.
STRIPES
are indeed leading feature and though
very stylish plaids appear, they are not
so numerous. Some new plaids are
enormous in dimension, but here the
colors are usually rather subdued or in
some cases yelled by thiclly set dottings
in black. The most striking plaids have
silken bars set on surfaces woven in
very thick cords and this gives key
note to the unemployment Of corded
surfaces in general. Plaided velvets are
genuine surprise, by reasonof brilliant
colorings and bold patterns, some at
tanning a size Of six inches and com
posed of half inch wide silken bars that
in bright yellow, red or green, traverse
dark groundworks. Usually there is
one strongly defined boundary, but a
minority display narrower silken lines
in varied hues, set close together and
forming squares that intersect aud size
of pattern exceeds the limitations first
given. Rich yelvets of more modest
appearance are striped by single threads

bedded in soft surroundings, glow
beautifully and occasionally bourette
