PRIMROSE DESIGNS AND COLORS.
/ The primrose ~ being looked upon with
favor this spring. New beauty seems TO
le perceived In il. Not only does 1t come
forward IN millinery, but as Il design for
cottons ard challies. Its colors. too. in
exact and most delicate reproduction, are
adapted for the tinting OF the fine cot
tons and woods Certainly, no flower Con-
vtys. either in tints. or what may be
called personality. more poetic and SPRING
Ike suggestions.
The primrose pirk and pale Lavender are
rulted particularly 20 a class OF goods In
which they are used for the ground color
iug These are the new cotton crepes.
Il called serpentines, crinkled like wool Gre
pons. and dairtily Powered In large ana
small clusters OF blossoms, the small
buuches being OF paler hue than the
large ones between which they are scat
/ tered. A very pale green is one or the
| elective ground shades OF the serpentincs
a leading virtue Of these goods In the
| eycs Of many spring buyers has been
their cheapness. They are twenty-seyen
inches wide ard sell for rs cents. The
crinkle is not lost by washing, but the
goods must be left without ironing In the
manner Of the old crinkied seersdckcr
