goods. Black French imperial cloth, with
rich boucle effects. curled up over the
closely woven surface, is another new
thing. This will be largely used for hand
some street dresses and will be tailor fin
ished. There is a triple warp, very heavy
French henriette cloth, with silk finish,
but with really nc silk in it, and it looks
almost as we'll as the real Priestly henri
cites, at any rate while new.
The list does not stop there, for I found
new fancies in whipcords and cheviot
serges, also a line of beautiful navy blue
serges in two or three shades and with a
white hair line stripe. These make up
into very pretty gowns for young ladies,
and they are serviceable. There is a new
whipcord English storm serge, both in navy
III and colors, and there are several vari-
cites of imported waterproof serges in sew
eral solid colors, and particularly in navy
blue. A new storm serge has an extra
wide vale and can be found in navy gray,
tan and several shades of green and brown.
This would make most excellent OWL for
ordinary outdoor wear.
Several OF the serges and cheviot serges
are shown in the new browns and navys
and cardinals and can be purchased at from
60 cents to 81 a yard, and these goods run
81 inches wide, so that eight yards will
make a full costume-jacket, waist and
skirt. Serge, cheviot, tweed and whipcord
are the goods that are regarded as the best
value for those who have little money to
spend. Those who can spare more buy the
"fancies," as they call the boucle and other
weaves and styles. Hop sacking is also a
great favorite with the ultra stylish, though
it looks a little coarser thar a horse
blanket.
+ There are several new designs in plaids
intended to take the place of the extra large
and striking and the too modest shepherds
plaids. Many like plaids, but the shep-
herds plaids did not and could not be made
to give the dashing effect they wanted, and
the large plaids were too noticeable. Now
we IND a modest pattern with the plaids
made Of four and five inch squares, with
exquisitely shaded lines and blocks, some
OF them showing four and five shades of
gray, with black and white, or perhaps the
different browns, with sometimes a fine
thread of scarlet, yellow or blue running
through it.
One beautiful piece of goods was a corded
plaid in different shades Of dark blue, and
running through it both ways were a line of
white and a line of red, which defined the
pattern. Some of the plaids are reps, with
an undertone of another color il the darkest
parts. Others are cashmere finished in soft
twills, and they are more pleasing to the
eye than the heavier and sitter goods.
These can be found both in bright or sub
dued colorings, and all are pretty, with a
soft finish that makes one like to touch
them. There are some choice lines Of plaids,
with the matte or basket weave interviewer
with bright silk threads. Some English
costume cloths are shown in soft stripes
and neat checks.
Some new effects have been brought out
in the finest imported cheviots. They are
rough on the surface, with dull colors, and
these are interviewer with bright colored
yarns, which produce iridescent shades, an
effect not heretofore obtained in wool.
Among the new designs are some very
high novelties. Ombre figured serges, with
woven dots and shaded stripes, have never
before been achieved. Silk and wool %velours,
