our grandmothers are coming in again.

goods. Shaded and two-toned effects are
noteworthy features of these woollt rs.
which give something of the coloring Of
Russian velours without its raised surface.
They will be much more useful than a
raised cord, like velours, which will

storm serges which are now manufac-
tured in this country and imported in all
colors and in figured and checked effects.
