The erepes de chine are printed in a
lightning pattern with two or three ~coiors;
on a white surface waved lines OF two
shades of green and black meander with
exceeding grace, and another charming
combination of eolors is in two shades OF
red with black lines on a. white ground;
and on a white ground again there are
two or three mauves alternating with q
black design, which Is on the whole m

other novelty which ] must not forget is
a thin summer 6icilan with a watered
ground not watered IN the ordinary
sense of the word, hut watered really,
r3ppled with waves of another color, with
black flowers over ITS surface. This In
mauve and green is most artistic.
Then OF the foulards let me say a.
word. for foulard continues popular, those
of blue and white being particularly sue
cessful in conventional patterns, while
there is a new silk called s'The Rontgen,'
really a shot with lightning patterns upon
it. Amongst other thin silks is a curious
one in blue and black, with a colored zig
Tag pattern over it, and there are some
pretty little checked silks in glace dotted
with white spots, and there are black and
white glaces OF every possible variety.
while there is green and blue plaid pop
hnette crossed with very narrow lines of
yellow u white. And amongst the
fanciful pIafds Is a green and buff check
with a shaded line of red, and a little
three cornered pattern OF the red upon it
This is particularly successful; besides
looking well in the green and buff it is
charming in green and blue and cream.
It may be most cordially recommended
for a blouse or the lining Of a blue serge
coat. There are plaid glaces of every
description, from the monster pre-emi-
nently Scotch to those tiny little checks
as pre-emdnently French.
Not alone are the glaces n the foul
checked, a watered poplinette with a
pale blue and white check on !. being ex-
eellent, u Boosting as a rival the same
design In light green and black, or bright
red and white. always with It's watered
ground, which produces a specially good
effect.
