ments OF all sorts OF pretty Uu1u8b
chief among them being passomenterte
of black silk, beaded in all the col-
ors of the zodiac" az one lady aptly sx-
pressed it. There are Others Of yak lace
woven with wired chenille in different
colors, though that woven Of only black
and white is by far the incest.
In new spring vwools there is pretty
wool and silk noil. The most Of these
are in self color, but beautifully woven,
with a very soft and pleasing effect.
Some are in fine pinhead checks, with
white always as one. There are seven
or eight colors. Coverts will have still
greater vogue if one may judge by those
now shown. There are nine different
colors and shades. For bicycle suits
there is nothing better than coverts,
and they are quite as elegant and re-
fined for tailor gowns. There are also
several colors and shades OF illuminated
coverts. Poplins with heavy raised cords
in bayadere stripes are also among the
new things to arrive, but not yet here
These goods are made cheaper than here
tofore, as the filing is fiber of ramie or
wood pulp mingled with cotton, but no
matter how cheaply it is sold poplin Is

In wash fabrics we find lovely ging-
hams, madras. percales in stripes,
checks or polka dots, linens with hne
| dots and figures in clusters and dimity
| in all the new colors These include
bright purple, lettuce, blue and cardinal
red; also white. These have dots large
| or small in black or white. Some neat
pinhead checks in percales have red,
blue, black or white polka dots. There
| are many grenadines in every imagina-
BILE design, but the prettiest are checked
| in various color combinations. White Is
offered in larger quantities and greater
variety of weaves than 1T has been Tor
several seasons. Piques with fancy
openwork stripes are pretty. Dotted
swisses are plentiful. Organdies are ex-
ceptionally beautiful with faint and
artistic designs of the commoner flowers
mostly in stripes. A very silky cotton
dress fabric has tinsel lines crossing to
form plaids or lengthwise for stripes or

very dainty.
In silks for next season there are some
unusually pretty new designs in printed
pongees and midas. The figures are
mostly small, many having dainty pom
padour patterns in delicate colors. The
bayadere silks have now been arranged
in more taking manner, with waved
thick lines instead of the stripes But
what the American woman would moi
have in her silk gown she has accepted
in her sashes. The Roman stripes, too,
have invaded some of the silks. 1t re
mains to be seen who will wear them
Changeable taffetas with frosting o.
white will be among the novel silks. 1
is now conceded that velours du nord

even more so.
