Both plain and fancy silks will undoubt-
eddy receive consideration now for ordin-
airy and social occasions. says the DRY
Goods Chronicle The best silk authori-
| ties have so planned it.
Taffetas lead not 50 much as the fash
ionable silk as the important weave upon
which the greater business will be done.
1t enters into all sorts of silk compost
tons for dress and lining purposes. Be
cause of this enormous consumption OF
| ~taffetas for dresses, underskirts, min
and waists the fabric is given first place
Plain and glace ~taffetas in medium and
| fine qualities will be stylish for dress and
| party wear. Its use has been augmented
greatly by the introduction of the flounce,
which bids fair to become a vogue more
| general this autumn than it has been
since the thirties. Taffeta is the best
founce material. 1t is on the market IN
| fancy border effects, with plain centres,
and other patterns made especially for
fource effects.
Taffeta is also the important weave IN
the general run of medium and hlgn
| class novelties. 1t is made the foundation
| weave for the purest silks ever cut from
a loom. and some of the most elaborate
designs conceivable.
The most fanciful taffetas Of the autumn
nal season are gotten up with broche eff
| fects in designs similar to those intro
| dueed in silks during the ~Pompadour per-
| led. hence the name. p~ompadour patterns.
| These are in the form of tiny flowers,
buds and other Aowerets in rich colors.

the flower or ~pompadour patterns are pro-
duced by color ~printings upon the warp,
hence the revival of warp prints in POM
| padour effects for the season under re-
view.
Lace patterns in horizontal. rave and
a~ll-over designs are also novelty features
of the fancy silk These are wrought up
on the face of the silk, and in good quail
ty fabrics have the appearance of being
appliqued thereon. The guipure lace de-
signs are affected mostly. Light colors
are woven upon dark and light grounds,
and dark colors upon light grounds.
Taffetas also form the fond for natty
things in corded weaves. corded checks
and novelty pekins. Vertical satin stripes
are frequently combined with flower and
other effects. seemingly embroidered, or
warp printed patterns, forming a design
between the stripes.
Probably in none of the new type silks
is there more of a reflex of the old fash
Toned styles of the thirties than is to be
found in satins. Certainly no weave gives
a richer fabric. Nor are the designs in
any other carried u on SO elaborate
scale as upon satins.
The patterns run from one extreme to
the other. In the diminutive they range
from tiny dots in color on dark grounds
to rose buds, a tiny cluster of forget-me-
nots. a pansy. etc. and then expand to
elaborate lace brocades.
In an abandoned cabin several miles
from any town nine young women of
Canal Dover, o., are spending their va
cation. The cabin is located in a dense
and lonely wood on the banks of a
stream. The girls have leased the shanty
for a time and have fitted it up in an
exquisite manner. Hammocks. rocking
chairs and a tent. novels, tennis and
croquet sets are scattered over the grass
and in the house, with which the girls
find amusement during the day and even
ing hours. They will occupy the cabin
for an indefinite period. So far they nave
remained alone at nights and have met
with nc uncanny experiences. Some of
them are good markswomen and are
armed for emergencies. No one of the
nine is more than nineteen years of age.
They transport eatables from the city
on their wheels and appoint separate
cooking committees each day. The time
is spent in fishing. ~lounging and reading.
The spot is called "Camp Dewey The
girls are all well known in society circles
of Canal Dover. Their resort is known to
no one except the parents of the young
people. Before they give up the place for
the summer they have decided to invite
their papas and mammas and also their
gentleman friends to be their guests for
one day. Many other young women of
the town who refused to accompany them
when they first set out are sorry now for
their action, because the news has spread
of what a delightful time they are having.
Friend Staylate makes a call in the
evening. Conversation blithe and joyous.
and repeated requests for him to remain
yet a little while, lead him, not at all I'M
willingly, to prolong his visit, says the
Ladies' Home Journay." He looks at
his watch with a gasp of genuine dismay,
and hurries away slowly at last with pro-
fuse apologies for keeping us up until
such an unearthly hour. "Oh., indeed.
nor choruses the entirely family. This
is early for usi We never think of going
to our rooms until an hour later than
this" Friend Statylate loiters a moment
