Of the richest and most desirable fabrics
made in this generation. 1t CLEANS and
glistens like frost upon wintry pond that
lies dark and hidden in deep forest. 1t
folds as thick and heavy as broadCloth,
and the lights it gives out are almost won
| derful considering that 1t is simply jet
| black. This comes from the peculiar weav.
ing Of the silk over the woolen cord. Here.
tofore all Irish poplin had linen cords.
| They were not nearly so soft or pliable or
| desirable from every point of view as the
present weave, which has wooden inner
cords. 1t will not shrink under any cir
cumstances and is made waterproof by
sope process.
am going to enumerate In line all Of
the new woolen stutfs and mixtures, both
black and colored, that we find among the
dress goods for fall and winter. We shall
find some old favorites among them for
some stuffs are like bread-the demand
never changes for them.
First come the black goods for this sea-
son. Among them are all sorts and kinds
of matelasse and frise effects In pretty
and medium sized designs. These are for
heavy skirts and for mantles and wraps.
Also they will be made up into stately
princess gowns. There are glace crepons
In silk and wool and in all wool, and the
variety of effect achieved in crepon weaves
passes belief Venetians and ooverts, plain
Whipcords, bouoles, camel's hair, granite
cloths, sioiliennes and mohairs and the
whole we'll known line OF Priestley's
standard black goods, such as eudora, hen
rietta, cravanette and drap d'ete.
All of these, like cheyiot, are always in,
as they are employed always as first mourn
ing when such garments are required.
There Is also prunella. This was put for
ward with tho new Irish poplin and the
magnificent corded silk goods, and it i'm
mediately "took," and we may expect to
SEQ many gowns of that fabric so dear to
our grandmothers. Prunella looks like
The sublimated essence of farmer satin.
Broadcloths will be popular for tailor
gowns, and also for mantles and for pol
onaises. Ihave seen several Of these in the
tailoring establishments. They are cut
princess shape, but are left open in front
and draped up slightly in the back and
over the hips The princess dress is one
Of the fixed facts, and this style Is pecul-
larly we'll suited to the SURPRISING richness
Of the new materials. 1t Is a shape cal

with fine figures. think ! mentioned be-
fore the quantities of heavy lace which
will be applied on these princess gowns.
After the all blacks come the two toned
whipoords and diagonals. These are all in
rich dark, we'll chosen coiors. Velour Of
fects in silk and wool arc handsome. So
are the two toned yigoreaux, the herring
bone, chevEon and other weaves. There
are tailor suitings In all shades and colors.
The broadoloths are If possible finer and
more velyety than ever. There are illu-
minated diagonals and ohevrons, silk and
wool yelours and dozens Of honeycoinb or
armure and natelasse designs, herring,
bone, cheyio.s, striped and self colored,
dozens more Of oamol's hair novelties and
80 many designs and ideas in black weayes
with admixture Of oolored threads that nc
one could possibly remember them all.
Beige diagonals, armure weayes, orystgl
bengalines, satin faced venetians and piece
dyed fanoies, and also glaoe chaneleons,
all come under this head
There are silk and wool novelties In all
sorts OF brocaded designs and all sorts oi
