DRESS GOODS in VOGUE.
Faced Cloths Have Yielded to the
Universal Mantn for Rough
Surfaces,


There Is no lack OF choice In the new
woolens. Manufacturers have realized
that there is a distinction between the
tailor-made coat and skirt and the
tailor-made smart gown, and have pro-
vided a thicker make for the former and
thinner for the latter The zibelne
element runs rampant through all the
new fancy stuffs. Hairy surfaces have
been introduced on to many kinds that
knew them not Of yore, and, perhaps, the
most striking innovation Is the white
hairy tuft, which stands out boldly on
variety of grounds, mostly diversified
by fecks, spots and pin pricks OF colors,
derived mainly from Bulgarian and
Turkish sources, and these have always
been bright and diversified There is
nothing garish, and they in no way Of
fend against good taste; on the con-
trary, they suit the complexion far bet
ter than unrelieved neutral tones, says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Faced cloths have yielded to the uni
versal zibeline mania, combining two
shades often in the groundwork; the fa-
yorite gamut Of color is reddish pink,
brown Of the tabac hue, and a reed green
with china blue: but these are amplified
and diversified in the enormous range
Of new stuffs, which will give us wider
choice this coming season than we have
ever had before. Speckled effects are
produced by an intermixture either of
BLACK or white with the dominant tint.
Some of these assume a marbled aspect,
flakes and splashes giving diversity
which is as new as it is charming The
weaving occasionally lends itself to self
stripes or faint ones, in black or white,
or a darker tone, hairs always rising
above all. One make of cloth shows
nebulOus surface, with minute hazy
spots Of white on the surface, that re-
calls the Milky Way. In others the spots
congregate into stripes, with splashes
between Heather mixtures have been
adapted to feminine wear which hith-
erto the masculine element has mostly
monopolized, and quite large array of
the new woolens suggest the trouserings
which men affect.
There are plenty of new stuffs
speckled with curled threads all over,
and plenty more with mixed ground
and white hairs. Sometimes the misty
checks get more assertive and are en-
HANGED by the knop treatment, especial
ly in fine hopsack. They are singularly
pretty in green and light navy blue
There is a good strong stuff that will
wear well, in which the weaving recalls
Russian braid, and good many of this
years stuffs seem almost as rough as
sand paper Diagonal weaving figures in
zibelines, fecked with white, and dashed
with color
The expansion of color this year takes
the direction of gray, mouse color, coffee
tones, serpentine blues and green, and
many reds. Among the favorite color
ings also is the desert sand, pinkey
fawn. elephants hide and many reds
with dash of rose color.
Quite original are the plain color
grounds on which black astrachan weav-
ing is thrown, opening at intervals in
circles to show the red or blue ground,
Or whatever it may be. crossed with an
other color, or white, like the game Of
tit-tat-to children play on the pavement.
Sometimes the opening discovers five
spots, placed as in the five Of dominoes. +.
Plain stuffs are always fashionable
serges, hopsack. faced CLOTH etamine
and canvas, all will be worn in wide
range of colors. which include, besides
those shades already enumerated, drab,
vieux rose, pervenche. tabac, violets,
grays, salmon pinks, light pastel shades,
the old gems d'armes blue and petunia,
and these are repeated in cashmeres,
Venetian cloths and covert eoatings.
