arg of Economic Plants IN India the follow
ing facts are given-In 1872 China grass sold
at $50 a ton; now it fetches from E49 to ESQ,
Indian rhea slightly lower. Collyer says that
for rhea at $50 per ton there is absolutely
no limit to the sale; at 94O it would go slow
ly; at $50, with the present price of wool it is
barred. A manufacturer remarks that if the
price is brought down to e35 large quanti-
titles will he sold, and if reduced to $50 the
quantity that the manufacturing centres will
take is illimitable. And now that China and
Japan have entered the field in force against
Lancashire tits probable that any process
successfully dealing with ramie would recon-
pense handsomely those concerned in the
cultivation of the plant and the preparation

| the stores, but | have vet to see one
made up. The colored grenadines are
very pretty, having transparent ground
of fine threads with heavy stripes, edged
with thick silk thread The black
grenadines and buntings are in quite
| good demand for middle aged women
Some of the magpie colors have come
over from last winter and now show in
grenadines, and they are much prettier
than silks and woods in the same de-
| sign. There is a toile delaine which is
a new thing 1t is thin and soft and
generally has ground in solid color,
with polka dots or tiny triangles or
stripes, straight and zigzag, i'll delicate
colors. One handsome piece of this stuff
was in very fine stripes Of white and
pale gold over a gray ground. There are
all colOrs for backgrounds, but the
stripes are white and gold only.
Another pattern has stripes with holes
set one by the other in the stripe and
another stripe passing through these
holes so as to look as if Tom Thumb rib
bon was woven in and out. It was very
cleverly done. This design comes only
in very light colors and requires to be
made up over a silk slip and richly
trimmed
So much for the thin goods. There is
an endless list Of light but strong wool
en- tissues for boating, mountain walks
and cool mornings and evenings. The
first choice is always cheviot, the next
is hopsack, and after that there is a long
list of wooden mixtures of one kind and
another. There is a new diagonal in
two shades Of color and another called
fil-a-fil, or Thread to thread. This
means that each alternate thread is
black and white, red and brown or green
and brown, and so admirably well woven
as to look all one soft and harmonious
color. In some Of these woods the differ
ent colors are thrown up in fine diaper
or birds eye pattern. A new crepon
has a surface as rugged as the bark on
an oak tree and about the color of it.
In making up this kind of crepon the
style is severely simple, bat the sleeves
are made with stiffening to hold the
rich collarette known as the Richelieu
out in full evidence. These coIlarettes
are very rich and give woman a state
y dignity that is fine to see. The lace
should be real venetian point when pos
;ible and a good imitation when not.
Common or thin lace would look poor
and cheap.
One store makes a specially of mc1rn-
ing garments, and into that place I
