varieties only in heavier weaves. Many of

those who prefer soft hannels there is a
tempting array to select from, many Of

customed to them as not to find them at all
conspicuous. Some striped hanneis show
two or three shades of the same color. each
shade seeming to be the sha dow of the next
darker one The way in which these shades

Jackets and negligees, there is fine choice,

these goods, browns. reds. green's and blues
