As Seen and
 Heard in the Shops.

Reception gowns will be made of crepe de Paris, chiffon voiles nets, laces and thin gauzy fabrics. of which chiffon and silk grenadine are a large factor said leading Birmingham importer yes terday. "The chiffon of this season for dresses has a little more weight and texture than the trimming chiffon, and will make a substantial. strong dress. We were assured that the styles for the com ing spring would run very much in the same lnotted and noppe effects as are being shown now, making 1t very con venient for the purchasers of these re- ception dresses to be able to wear them out next spring. The materials indicated for the coming year are the Boucles and Noppe Examines and voiles. These goods also come in street colors, and can be made into serviceable suits.
 Among the new shades shown this season are Helios and browns, of course some few dahlas and plum shades. The dahlias and plums will not be very popu- lar, as they are hard to wear. but the browns and Helios, which are always be-
 
 champaign, saturn and beige, will consti- tute the leading coors. in fact the cham pagn shades and wine colors ought eer- tainly to have the best of this seasons choice, as they are more universally be- coming and admit of better trimming.
 There are fabrics for the coming sea- son especially made for the very service able shirt waist dresses, and the most wanted gown this season will be the silk shirt waist dresses. These dresses will be made of velvet velveteen, silk or wool, gray grounds, from which the color is extracted. Beautiful silver sheen velvets in small figures and pin dots, silks in the old time Jasper effects, so much affected by our grandmothers. and small stripes and checks and dots that wear the lm- press of the shirt waist dress.
 "These shirt waist suits will be made so dressy this season as to be servceable when wanted for theatre or afternoon calls, with just a touch of other color, a little color or dash in the neck trim ming or bust trimming. that can be made to be for semi-dress.
 "We like the idea of showing gowns in our custom order department, as it will give the ladies some idea of what Is to be worn besides an opportunity to buy their dressier suits ready to wear.
