Modish Display.

Philadelphia Times.
The taste that could not be satisfied at
Strawbridge & Clothier's in the matter
OF winter dress materials would have to
be OF a very eccentric and peculiar char
aeter, for there is now on sale at that
establishment variety of silk and wool,
and all-wool fabrics so vast and so
pleasing that the only difficulty lies in
the matter of choice, u really porplcXing
detail. where each new piece displayed
possesses unique distinction that
makes you swerve in your allegiance to
the one you but moment before
thought superlatlvely lovely.
Covert suitings in their novel two
toned effects are without doubt the
leaders in the quiet weaves, being par
ticularly adapted for serviceabIo tailor
made costumes that are made to do
duty all day long and are appropriate
for almost any function.
The new colorings which are the out
come of the fawn shades SO long ideDti-
fled with these cloths, are Madagascar
and Guiana, two warm browns with y
cinnamon cast. The bluet shades are
particularly stylish when made in entire
costumes with coats to match.
Paris declares in favor of plaids;
therefore ut this reliable emporium are
found the reigning favOrites in every
conceivable combination, the tartans
being in the lead. Not only arc the
plaids seen in their primary mixtures,
but are used as foundation tone in
combination with boucle stripes and
squares, the blue, green and black mix
ture being at once smart and suggestive

costumes
There are bouretles decorated with
little scrolls of contrasting color, rich
hued Oriental-looling stutfs made
further attractive through the agency Of
MORE wave and two.toned light weight
effects, they have all the appearance of
silk and are wonderfully stylish with
their double cresCents OF black thrown
upon background of rich color.
Then the Scotch beauties which are
to be the thing, Canvas-backed mixtures
III which three colurs commIngie hur-
moniously, regal beauties in eminencc,
violet and green Bengaline wraycs,
made more artistic by contrast with ZIG.

cassimcres in neat effects, these last
being particularly new.
A more than choice line of vestings
calls up before the mental vision pic
tnre OF Il charming woman in d perfect
fitting gown, the front of which reveals
u bit OF bright and becoming color such
as is shown in these exquisite materials.
Though not as agrressively demanding
admiration the novelties IN the blucE;
goods are no less deserving Of unstlnted
praise, the silk crepe grounds with silk
and mohair designs and the silk aud
wool combinations are particularly
fetching, and as every woman feels her
wardrobe incomplete without ut least
one black costume, this hint may prove
most acceptable 10 the shopper in search
OF something unique aud elegant in
black goods
Restricted pocket-books are catered to
likewise i'll the heavier dress goods, 81
that no one need feel that even the
loyeIest material, either for day OF
evening wear, is out of reach if they
will but accept the good things tia;
have been prepared for them at Straw
bridge Il Clothler's.
