FOR BLACK AND COLORED GRE
PONS
no substitute can be found, particularly
in respect TO the former, and in fact any
crepon will hold good during the sea-
son. "Two-tone" colored Crepons pre-
sent an illimitable field of beauty and

in new millinery, as stitched taffeta silk

strips are about an inch and a half wide
