tern dresses where there will be festoons
of flowers woven in the material some
times in shades of the groundwork and
other times In coIors. The lower part OF
each festoon will be heavy and the upper
part tapering to a point. All this presup-
poses a different skirt from that now so
popular. This new style will be plated or
gathered to the belt all around, and the
breadths will be cut straight.
Among the materials that are to DO
made with bayadeFe 1ounces is a silk gren-
adine, which Is produced in several deli
cate tints, with festooned wreaths Of flow
ers on the portions woven, especially for
the founces, and these In natural colors,
though delicate and artistic as whole.
saw q small sample of one where the
ground was notified drab and white, the
warp being white and the filling drab.
This is a very dainty material in itself and
would be, to my mind, neater and more
refined without the colored bordering.
Some Of the sheer lawns for next sum-
mer's dresses have the body OF the goods
of some delicate shade or tint and the
borders printed with large but exquisite
floral effects to be used as deep founces.
The samples show that unusual care has
been taken to make the flowers as perfect
as painted pictures could be.
be some delicate and lovely designs in
swiss and organdies, with the flowers or
sots in colors. How they will wash can-
not say, but they are exquisite in the
piece One importer told me that from
the present outlook there will be much
large plaid in the way Of light silks,
and that there will be some grenadines
where the ground will be in neutral
tint and the bars of bright color, such as
reds and yelloHs; also blues and green's.
The colorings in the samples are generally
marked by quiet tones, with the exception
of the bayaderes.
The madeup gowns for late winter are
nearly all quiet and plain-comparativel
so-and that will make the contrast all
the sharper when we are shown the spring
fabrics, and, above all, the great hounces,
sweeping out over the floor. Nothing
could be more ladylike or pleasing than
one home gown which was made Of seal
brown crepon, showing here and there the
CLINT of fine gold thread. The skirt was
plain and fitted the young wearer like
sheath in front and hung in heavy plaits
in the back to a demitrain. The corsage
was shirred to a point in front and had a
pretty arrangement of gold GALLON across
the bust. The waist and sleeves were seal
brown velvet. The belt and stock collar
were Of repped silk of the same shade.
Crepon Is certainly in for another season
at least and will be produced in as many
new fancies as the fertile minds of the
weavers can design and as many colors as
the dyer can invent.
Aniline colors, crude and pure, are not
seen in real crepoD, but colors are almost
as raw and crude in a few Of the goods,

when it is done in silk on woolens.
The Eton jacket is still with us, and
one of the most refined suits for young
lady that have seen this season was made
OF glossy dark blue cloth. The skirt was
made with capuchin folds In tho back.
There was no trimming around the bot
tom, but on each side of the top there were
two long points of black velvet sewed to
the skirt There was a draped girdle of
black velvet, and above that q very full
gathered blouse of baby blue silk. The
sleeves were gigot shaped, but rather
smaller than usual at the top. The Elton
was laid in three deep folds down each
side of the front and in six across the
back. There was a black velvet choker
band, with blue silk rundown collar,
altogether an unusually handsome COS
tune.
If that was handsome, what shall say
of a novel tea gown worn yesterday for
the first time at a swell tea by the hostess?
This had skirt of ashes of roses poult de
sole, with three flounces or rather ruffies,
of white Spanish lace headed by gauffer-
ing of pale pink satin. Worn over this
was a continental coat of black velvet
trimmed with silver passcmenterie. There
were square pockets, also trimmed with
silver. The coat hung loose in front, and
beneath it was vest of pale pink satin
reaching almost to the knees, and this was
bordered on each side of the front with
silver trimming similar TO the other, and
the same was carried around the cuffs that
turned upward from the elbow above n
fall of Spanish lace. Around the shout

elusive and difficult effects in the proper
arrangement of the fullness in the back of
the skirts perhaps it would be well to ex-
plain them and the manner of producing
them to such ladies as would like to ar
range one of the fashionable skirts. 1t is
easy when you know how to do them, but
not easy unless the modus operandi has
been explained.
In the first place, a pattern must be OBJ
tanned, which is matter of few pennies
in these days, and the skirt cut according
to that and the general directions fol-
lowed. The skirt should be finished
around the bottom and made to fit the
front and around the hips perfectly smooth
by means of darts or cautious gathers.
The whole of the top except what is in
tended to go in the gathers should be
sewed to the belt and the skirt put upon
the person-no other person will 90 I'M
less two figures are found exactly the same
size-and with pins put up two places,
which will allow three plaits to fall.
When these are made exactly even, so that
they fall precisely rs they should, the pin
ned places should be sewed firmly and the
top portion of each turned inside out and
sewed across the top. Then, turning them
right side out again and giving them
deft little jerk into place, il will be found
that they hang in hood fashion.
An extremely pretty gown shade in this
style for young lady, of light tan cheviot,
had three capuchin plaits in the back.
Around the bottom were two rows of
black velvet ribbon, each edged by a row
of gold soutache braid on both top and
bottom. There was one other row above.
There was black velvet for a belt, with a
chou of the same, black velvet on the gigot
sleeves, and on the shoulder there were
two choux, and there was a dog collar of
the velvet. The waist was surplice front
and French back, with V shaped open
ing both front and back filed in with
white lace over blue silk.
There is no falling off in the liking for
gathered waists of all kinds, and the
blouse effect is at the height Of its popu-
larity, while the fancy chiffon waists are
seen everywhere, always obtaining new eff
fects by the adjustment of their sleeves
and draperies. The jetted and spangled
laces are being made up for these waists
to go with rich and heavy skirts. Some
times one will see a trained velvet skirt,
with a waist of light colored chiffon, look
ing like puff of rosy or blue smoke beside
the heavy skirt, but the forcible contrast
adds piquancy to the costume.

yeloped for dozens of small black ostrich
tips. which are arranged on hats to curl

the LARGEST REMNANT
SALEof the SEASON. At the
prices we are asking every
piece will be sold. Read what
follows and kindly bear in
it mind.
POPULAR APPROVAL
Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house in any community, and
the goodwill and patronage

forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR AP-
PRovAL, but that those who
have dealt with US have been
eminently satisfied with their
transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and our REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
AS we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE
Garry a stock of dry
goods that is complete
