Sweeping.

In sweeping carpets remove all furni-
ture, or cover IL thoroughly, as the damp
ness will cause the dust to stick to the
woodwork and soil the fabric. Sweep
quickly and carefully from the corners and
sides to the center of the room, to prevent
the soiling of the wall paper. Take the
dust carefully into the dustpan, carry to
the kitchen and burn it. II you have a

toni
The silks now on exhibition for hand
some fall and. winter gowns are magnifl-
Gently rich both in texture and coloring.
There are brocades almost as heavy as up
holstery silk, and the designs upon them
are SO large as to suggest the brocatelles
But it Is only q suggestion, for the brocades
have different plan of weave and design.
These superb brocades are unusually wide,
some of them being quite SO inches. This
Is rendered necessary by the way skirts are
shaped now. The ground is usually in
some light and delicate tint with the great
punches of flowers or garlands thrown over
in careless profusion. Old rose, ashes of
roses, pearl gray and sage green are all
among the most beautiful Of the ground
work. Black is also shown, of the same
quality of silk, which is called faille prin-
cess, and this Is bestrewn with punches of
violets with long stems and leaves. These
bunches are thrown up in satin weave over
the faille and are almost as perfect us ma
ture. There are designs of other flowers,
mostly small, with their natural foliage.
How rich this silk is no one can imagine
withous seeing it. One pattern had the
round faille weave, and over that were
thrown the lines that gave the wa1ered ef
feet. Still above them was the floral pat
tern OF wreaths in all sorts of shaded
green's, with silver acorns and berries
among them. One of heavy faille had a
pattern of scarlet silk looking like the red
edges of burning coal, with here and there
q highly FURNISHED copper thread showing
like living fire. This would make regal
gown for q brunette for some grand fuDc-
tion. Many of the brocades are done in sill
yer or gold upon ground of this faille
princess. Itshould be called faille empress.
In many of these superb brocades one finds
simply the shades of the same color. Pale
lilac on dark heliotrope makes one beauti-

new designs and fancies all the time. The
very handsomest of the canvas weaves have
the mesh large enough to show the bright
silk lining to the skirt through 1t. This
produces such variety of softened glints
and CLEANS Of color that one keeps looking
at 1t for new surprises. The most Of the
oanavs weaves have fine little hairs stand
ing out from the cord or the very popular
little knots which resemble the "nigger
heads of five seasons ago. Basket weaves
of coarse canvas are among the favorites.
There are also canvas mixtures where sew
eral threads arg interviewer, like heather
mixtures and they are firm and strong,
though very unobtrusive They will make
excellent runabout dresses There are
more varieties Of the canvas cloths than I
can define They owe their popularity to
their oddly more than anything else Of
the frise and tufted goods have spoken
at length before, but will mention one
new stuff called lezard, or lizard skin.
This Is wrought In colors and design to rep
resent those swift little 'critters. " They are
not nearly 80 ugly as one might think. AS
to the serges, twills, coverts, oheviots and
cloths, they are all popular, as they were
before. They are like bread and the poor,

as severely plain as ever, with the excep-
tion Of the blazer suits. The full vests to
these are in the most brilliant Of the iri.
descent silks Of this season, and consider
them especially belligerent. And yet
don't think I would have them changed.
I noticed an innovation Of the most pro-
nounced type yesterday. This was tea
Jacket made of the most extraordinary
blue and green changeable taffeta. The
whole outfit took ones breath away for q
moment The jacket hung open in front
and was half tight in the back. There was
an immense pair of revers folded in three
deep plaits These were made Of rich
white fallle, edged all the way with white
Spanish lace, hand run. The sleeves were
bishop, with deep cuffs Of faille edged with
lace. There was vest front of the taffeta
shirred closely under narrow frills Of white
lace ut the neck and waist line. This tea
Jacket was worn over skirt of rich bro
oade in reseda green, pink and white with
no hint of blue in it. There was double
ru1fle of lace at the bottom of the skirt
The outfit excited much comment. There
was q full tea gown which was more to my
! taste and, indeed, that Of many others
This was Of soft old rose surah with design
Of small black rings. It was laid in deep
double folds from top to bottom. In front
there was q double cascade of handsome
cream lace and single ones on each side.
There was double cascade of lace down
the back. The short pulled sleeves ended
with lace frill, and there were lace
panaches set out on the sleeves at the
shoulders A full frill of lace finished the
throat. MATE LEROY.

full combination. Old rose on a much
darker shade of the same forms another
imperial brocade.
There is MORE armure. Armure, We Ill
know, Is the fine weave resembling chain
mail. Heretofore this silk has been con.
sidered quite rich enough without any adj
ditional fancies, but now we find armure
produced as MORE also, and with the pc.
ouliar seeded armure effect, heightened by
an overthrow brocade in colors in floral
pattern, or in some instances with Persian
designs In stripes over the MORE armure
ground. The Persian designs all have gold
in them to brighten the soft and generally
indistinct tones. The plain MORE antique
is unusually rich and heavy, and the de.
sign is usually very bold and far larger
and more eccentric than I have ever seen
1t. A few Of these have small but exquisite
swivel floral figures in natural colors.
Others have tiny square dots in satin,
woven so as to take on half dozen gray
shades, while still being jet black in q di.
rect light
Velours IL another one Of the rich fabrics
presented for this season. 1t Is very we'll
adapted for suits which will be trimmed
with fur and worn for "nice." The velours
comes in black and all the seasons new
shades in solid colors, besides in two tones,
where the cord Is one color and the filling
10 another. Some Of them also have faint
but wide stripes. Some of the velours also
have the watered lines of MORE. They
are very effective over the heavy cords
The two toned velours are shown in two
shades of blue, one dark and one light and
in blue and green.
It Is remarkable how quickly the fancy
for the blue and green com binat:ors have
caught favor. The taffeta silks are, it
seems to me, more lustrous In green and
blue than in any other two colors. People
take it on trust, and have yet to find one
woman who will admit that she really
likes it, yet she feels that she must have q
gown, hat, q parasol or a plaid shawl

liant dark blue that combine into the

trimming aside from silk passementerie
and plain velvet or silk for vests, ETC.. and
with the present shape of skirts, with
their full, sweeping folds, they are superb,

The princess shapes, which 1t is expected
will be very popular in velvet and other
very rich goods, will not admit Of any 9TH

Dress 1t would manifestly be inartistic to
cut it off at the shoulders, and pointed it

style. Other materials and other bodices,
however, may be fashioned to suit the
wearer. One ruby velvet princess for a
young lady in her second season had tho
waist cut in pompadour shape There were
square revers laying on over the pulled
sleeves. These were made Of cream white
velours, and they were bordered with a
narrow scroll pattern sewed in fine Jet
beads. At the bottom of the skirt in front
the velvet was slashed and faced with the
velours, and at the bottom there was fan
plating of pink taffeta edged with friu
Of ruby chiffon.
The baby waist for young girls gains in
popularity, and from the present outlook
one may prophesy that more than half the
dancing frocks will have that always pretty
waist. The sleeves to these are short and
Invariably pulled, and ribbon sashes are
tied with long, floating ends or are arranged
in front in sword fashion. This last is
