no matter how old it always looks like new. That with cotton warp grows rusty after year or so. The new varieties, chief among which is the sicilionne, arc coarSer in thread and much like canvas but all ways with the same rich gloss. There arc blue, green, grays in all shades, white ivory, cream, brown and others where the whole surface Is flccked with tiny dots of Q contrasting color. Some of the grays and blacks are treated to some process which causes them to resist rain. These are made up into long dust and rain proof wraps for outing purposes, and nothing could be richer or more perfectly adapted for the purpose. Many are brocaded also in dainty swivel patterns.
 These goods arc treated with as much respect as if they were of the richest silk. saw one beautiful dress made for Sarato- ga. The skirt was deeply plaitcd in the back, but otherwise quite plain. The ma terial was silver gray sicilicnnc, with ruby fecks. The waist was of ruby velvet rich ly draped and fastened to one side with n long jeweled buckle. Over the shoulders were laid plaited epaulets of the goods set with fancy cut steel buttons. The sleeves were plain gigots. A ruby velvet and Sil yer spangled lace bonnet was provided to wear with this.
 Among the choicest novelties in dress goods to be advanced for the coming au tumn is q woulCn brOcade called laticina The effect is surprisingly like that of mar velOus old porcelain. There will be an un- deriving color of dark faicncc blue, with the irrcgularly cracked and broken sur face of lighter shade of the same color This is produced in wools now but they are light and intended for handsome gowns. It is also produced in all black, ths, T,
 clever usc of two kinds of wool, like the soft, dead black of the Australian sheep and the lustrous mohair. One would de- clare that the finished fabric was in half a dozen shades, when in the right position one sees that it is all one uniform rich black. An imported gown of this beauti- ful black laticina had the skirt laid in ono deep double box plait in tho back. All around the bottom was very narrow de- sign in embroidery wrought in chenille The waist was a plain gathered French waist, with pointed belt covered with chenille embroidery. The collar and manches were also decorated with it. There came a cape at the samo time and this was full nearly n threc-quarter circle and lined rather stitlly. There was a rose plaited ruffle of black lace all the way around it, and on the shoulders all the way around superb ornamcntation of passementerie in feStoons. The cape was of bengalino At the neck there was a thick ruffle of bengaline headed by another of black silk muslin. Down the front wsS 8 superb bow of heavy moiro ribbon, with ends reaching nearly to the knees. The large rough and ready straw hat was liter ally covered with black bows, with two large aigrets, and n mass of pink, laurel and close pink bows This outfit was sent to young married lady, whose toilets are the envy of her less fortunate sisters. do not know for certain that her sister women do envy her, but that is the proper thing to say under the circumstances.
 Not all the most pleasing garments arc so ornate. saw a worry attractive dress today that did not cost fraction of that
