exactly like the old until the two are
placed together. Then the effect Of the
blended colors is seen.
There is new colored stuff called illu-
minated curl cloth. This is very pretty
and not so expensive as some of the other
things 1t will outlast the season, how
ever.
The French novelty goods are mostly in
oolors more or less brilliant, with black or
very dark brown as n background. The
black novelties include soleil, swivel, bro
oaded designs and stripes. Into these mo-
hair always enters as the bright brocaded
design on the duller foundation. Some of
these are of light quality and others thick
and firm. These are mostly used as skirts
to wear with the ubiquitous shirt waist.
Cheviot serge, cheviot and imperial serge
are all offered in black and colors, but
black is always preferable.
The French and English broadcloths for
tailor suits are most beautiful. The weave
is soft and fine, and the gloss Is exquisite.
Such stuff in gown bears the stamp of
elegance There are jacquard weave in
wool called tringline which is pretty and

to be stylish, with its stiff bristly surface.
Poplin ondeline is a poplin in moire
waves. This looks very rich, but how 1t
will wear cannot say The Irish poplin

liked for stately evening gowns. 1t Is richer
than silk. The bayadere stripe Is probably
to be the most popular novelty for the
winter and fall The old raw colors are

are toned. Gray, armure and covert weave,
also few of the cloths, have the stripes in
curl cloth like astrakhan. One very lady
like design had a ground of dark gray
armure with four graduated rows of as
trakhan weave around the bottom and
three narrower ones around the hips. !
saw today some silk muslin for dancing
gowns with bayadere stripes Of satin. These
stripes varied in color according to the tint
| In the muslin. They were woven In olus-
ters Of three and four. These stripes are
exceedingly pretty on dancing dresses, re-
sembling 30 many rows OF ribbon.
The covert cloths are made double faced,
80 that oapes and jackets to match the rest
are left unlined. The curled stripe in
black, dark blue or brown is often sewed
on in fanoiful design. All other tailor
made suits are entirely lined with tatfeta
silk and the kind that rustles orisply. To
these tailor suits there may be cape,

are usually about waist deep for these tai
