One or two now gowns were shown
mado of taffcta plisSe, which is a sort Of
cropon effect. Another novelty in silks
Is n tatfota Glace damaS, which shows
chene figures. This quaint silk appears
TO have gotten all kinds Of effects together
in one fabric. 1t is very beautiful. Thcrc
Is a new limo Of large plaids Of strong
tafTCta ground with woven stripes. and
