New York, Sept. 2.-Styles which
have been prominent one season are
almost sure to be reproduced in the
earliest importations of the succeed
ing one; therefore 1t is not surprising
to find Bayadere effects the leading
fancy in fall and winter dress mater
ials. As the first illustration, two tone,
irridescent corded poplins will be
largely employed for tailor suits;
changeable rep also is shown. and in
fact almost any corded fabric is stylish
The majority of new stuffs display two
or more colors, nevertheless the re-
appearance of ladies' cloth or plain
Venetian cloth show that fashion al
ways provides literally for her de-
votees; never confining them to any
one style.
TWO TONE DIAGONALS
and whipcords also find a place among
new fabrics, and medium priced checks
sell well. Camers hair Bayaderes in
straight or waving designs, are beauti-
full blendings of soft, rich color, partly
veiled in black hair, and in order that
the Bayadere effect may not be lost,
some of these plaids have a fringe an
inch long of crimped black camers hair
running crosswise. Boucle plaids are
much on the same order, too expensive
ever to become common. 1t Is notice.

apt to be revived than ordinary ones,
and as an exemplifcation, crepons of

and those who had the foresight to
keep a handsome crepon while it was
temporarily ignored, may now use it
again with perfect confidence.
POPLIN PLAIDS
have come up again, principally for
waists or children's dresses, and while
1t is too early to be sure a strong de-
mand for plaids is expected. The
choice novelties, however, are in
French silk and wool mixtures, and on
variously colored grounds, are thrown
upon silk or mohair designs in thous-
ands of different pattersn, often with
| half-concealed cords in various sizes
the color blendings being usually ex-
| quicite, and designs rather small.

deep rufties around long overskirt

leaving the front breadth plain. Loose
or tight fronts are about evenly divid-
ed. Sleeves although small are not yet
tight, but however engrossing new
fashions may be, all good managers
will soon have their colored waists

with Ivory soap and laid away; thus
ensuring their bright colors or pale
shades for another season.
FEATHERS AND VELVET
