New Dress Goods StraWbridge s
Clothier'S Immense and MOdiSh
Display.

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 character,
for there is now OH sale at that establish
ment variety of silk and wool, and all
wool fabrics SO vast and so pleasing that
that the only difficulty lies in the matter
of choice, a really perplexing detail,
where each new piece displayed possesses
a unique distinction that makes you
swerve in your allegiance to the one you
but a moment before thought superla-
lively lovely.
Cove-t suitings in their novel two toned
effects are without doubt the leaders in
the quiet weaves, being particularly
adapted for the serviceable 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 identified
with these cloths, are Madagascar and
Guiana, two warm browns with a Gin
nanon cast. The bluet shades are par
ticularly stylish when made in entire
costumes with coats to match.
Paris declares in favor of plaids; there
fore at this reliable emporium are found
the reigning favorites in every con-
ceivable combination, the tartans being
in lead. Not only are the plaids seen i'll
their primary mixtures, but are used as a
foundation tone in combination with
boucle stripes and squares the blue, green
and black mixture being at once smart
and suggestive of all sorts of attractive
promenade costumes
There are bouretts decorated with little
scrolls of contrasting color, rich-hued
Oriental-looking stuffs made further at
tractive 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 a back
ground of rich color,
Then the Scotch beauties which are to
be the thing, canvas backed mixtures in
which three colors commingle harmon
iously, regal beauties in eininence, violet
and green Bengaline waves made more
artistic by contrast with zig-zag flashes of
black lightning or more conventional
figures, camels' hair with illuminated
grounds, gauffre stampings and the
always desirable silk and wool cassimeres
in neat effects, these last being particu-
larly new.
A more than choice line of vestings
calls up before the mental vision picture
of a charming woman in perfect fitting
gown, the front of which reveals bit of
bright and becoming color such as is
shown i'll these exquisite materials
Though not as aggressively demanding
admiration the novelties in the black
goods are no less deserving of unstinted
praise, the silk crepe grounds with silk
and mohair designs and the silk and
wool combinations are particularly fetch
ing, and as every woman feels her ward
robe incomplete without at least one black
costume, this hint may prove most accept
able to the shopper in search something
unique and elegant i'll black goods.
Restricted pocket books are catered to
likewise i'll the heavier dress goods, so
that no one need feel that even the love-
hest material, either for day or evening
wear, is out of reach if they will but
accept the good things that have been
prepared for them at Strawbridge s,
Clothier' s. Times, Phila.
