Among the materials for wash skirts,
khaki cloth, and linen suitings are the
only really new goods. The first more
closely resembles heavy drill than any
other material, and the color is a
brownish tan. The suitings are at
tractive in their way, and consist of
different textures of linen, with verti-
cal silk stripes in color. When the
skirts are finished with borders and
flounce effects of the stripe they are
really effective.

Garnitures of lace and braid in deli
cate effects will be used extensively,
and many of the newest show elaborate
jewel designs in brilliant color. From
this fact it is safe to assume that the
palmer dress goods will be most in
favor, as fashion has more method in
her madness than is generally attrib-
uted to her, and rarely sanctions the
profuse applications of rich trimmings
to goods of highly decorative nature
in themselves.

The Eton jacket is as popular as ever.
The smartest now are made in velvet,
pointed in front and fastened on one
side, but little later they will appear
in lace and fancy thin silks. Indeed,
hardly any thin fabric that is chic and
pretty comes amiss for the pretty lit
tie jacket, which will be equally pop
ular for house and street.
