embody all that heart could desire of beau-
ty and usefulness. Among the figures
shown in this fabric there are crescents,
acute triangles, feral and regular palm
leaf patterns, but small, none being over
8 inches long.
The new black goods include a very rich
black cheyiot, soft and warm, yet light,
and is 81 inches wide. No gown for the
street bears the stamp of good taste and cor
rect dressing that a fine black cheyiot gives.
It is ut once rich and elegant and quiet and
refined, bat not everybody can afford one,
more's the pity.
Among the newest in black and white
goods is black serge, double width and hav-
ing stripes, generally w together, set half
an inch apart on each side of the black
stripe, which is often 6 inches wide. There
are others of these stripes where there is
one white stripe half an inch wide each
side of the wide black one. There are also
plaid serges in black and white, where the
large plsids are formed of one or two mar
row lines Of white on the black ground.
Some of the plaids are 10 inches square.
The black and white striped goods are GO
ing to be very fashionable this fall and
winter, and there Is a wonderful line of
gray plaids and stripes.
These plaids are in enormous squares,
some straight and some diamond shaped,
and all are shaded and blended SO that the
plaid has all the threads from white to
black and all the grays. Some of the white
or black threads are woven in such a way
as to make the plaid look as if it was tuft-
ed, but the surface is quite smooth. do
not know how it is done, but some of these
black and white plaids have a sort Of tartan
effect. The most of the tweed plaids have
the outlines of the plaids indistinct, and
the blending of the shades is most artistic.
Some of them have a wavy figure, with all
the grays in. Others have stripes that
weave into each other herring bone style,
and some have a boucle effect and yet are
smooth. The tiny shepherds check will
also be popular in black and white and in
gray and black. Black broadcloth is also
on the books for a popular run this season.
Black, it is said, both here and abroad.
will be more popular than ever before, and
the colorings of a costume will come from
the trimmings and accessories.

display of black goods other than regular
mourning. There are black silks, peau de
soies and satins and also satin duchess in
more varied design, weight and pattern
thar I have ever seen, and there are black
wooden goods almost without number.
The largest number is based upon the eff
fects to be obtained by the weaving of
black mohair with soft Australian wool. in
swivel figures, and the variety Of patterns
wrought by the weaver in some unknown
manner, which give u apparently a dozen
shades of gray and black all of the same
wool and color. The shades are obtained
by the different way the threads are cast.
In one piece there is q striped matte or
basket pattern, With stripes between of
reps, and over all are flowers thrown up by
swivels, the whole design being exceeding
ly rich and elegant. Another is a jet black
figured whipcord, with various designs
wrought in brocade upon it, n being like
q flight of swallows and another having
crescents. Another has small spider webs
as pattern, and others AVE geometrical fig
ures, flowers, clover leaves, and, in short, it
would be hard to say what isn't on them.
The whipcord is of the finest Australian
wool, and as a dress material few things
are liner, flcleE or more durable. Ar
mures are also seen in small and very neat
patterns, mostly in square dots, but one
was apparently covered with rich braiding.
There was a tiny basket weave check that
looked as though there were at least three
shades of gray, but it was dead black. 1t
makes exceedingly handsome gowns.
A diagonal whipcord has a neat design,
with tiny dots, some round and some
square, on a dead fine ground. There is an
infnity of styles in these goods, and the
mingiing of different weaves is remarka-
BILE. For instance, there will be a stripe

of diagonal and one of straight reps and
a small but fine horal pattern thrown up
as a brocade. Some will have the plain
est stripe covered with dots. stars or dia-
monds, and often there viii be three stripes,
one Of reps, one of whipcord and one of sat
in face. and thrown over all a small set
swivel brocade pattern. Some of them have
satin finish, with mohar figures.
There is livery extensive line of matelasse
black goods in every conceivable pattern
and SuPdrb quality. These viii be used
beth far dresses and cloaks. Some of them
are striped and figured in a manner sug-
gestirc OF fine quilting. Nothing could be
richer thah these designs. A high novelty
is tho silk warp Grape striped goods. This
has stripes of various widths-some plain
and some Ggured-and these separate the
wide OF narrow stripes Of deeply crinkled
Grape. The material of which this is woven
is the same as that Of the silk warp henri
cite silk and Australian wool. The Grape
has q deeper crinkle than china Grape, and
the whole pattern is beyond measu rich
and beautiful. It is not, however, for
mourning, as it's brilliancy and gloss would
mako 1t unsuitable. But it will be worn
for handsome gowns for whatever occasion
tho wearer wants it, as it will depend
upon the style of trimming for its distinc-
live image It is strong and firm and one
CT the very finest novelties of the season. /
noticed that some had stripes of the Grape
three ipchas wide, and each of these bor-
dered by narrow stripes of the Grape be-
tween others of henriette weave or satin
weave. Some other patterns had swivel
weave and brocaded flowers on the plain
stripe.
Another very rich material, also in black,
is a mcire ground, with satin weave stripes
or dots or other figures on it. Some have
moire stripes and the rest in diagonal stripes,
and some have tiny square or round dots
thrown up ON the MORE. Others Of this pat
tern have diagonal MORE stripes, with the
intervening ines shaded by having the
weave thrown in different directions. The
crystal reps is another superb woolen fabric,
dead fine, durable and falling into ravish-
ing folds and as glossy as the richest silk.
This is brocaded in the daintiest all over
patterns in small figures.
