MATERIALS FOR FALL WEAR.
BroadelOth to Be q Prime Favorits
Revival Of Cashmere and
| Delaine.

The first fall dress goods have AZ
rived, not In any great variety as yet,
but enough to give q sort Of indication
Of coming styles. At predicted, the
highest note Of fashion will be touched
by the new satin-fnish broadcioths, re-
ports the New York Post. A number
Of these are already on the counters,
and in new shades are very attractive.
They are remarkably soft and lustrous,
with Suede finish that gives them great
elegance. OF the new shades onion
skin is q light orange tan, a delicate
shade. and one easily ruined. A decided
orange tone pervades most of the
light browns. There are two or three
shades OF copper color, the darkest re-
sembling plum color. These shades
will make handsome gowns for elderly
women.
Among the new silks are seen many
somber effects. Surrahs in two tones
will benz UGH liked for blouses. A rich
brown. with orange shading, purple
with silver. and red with light tan. are
especially attractive. The reverse side
OF these surahs is so beautifully toned
that garments should be fashioned to
give glimpses Of II. A shot silk rep is
new, and old-fashioned faille has re-
appeared. There are plenty Of plain
reps and some handsome brocades. In
general, silks as well as cloth fabrics
viii show plain surface. Taffeta has
not gone out Of fashion yet, and will
undoubtedly be as popular as ever for
wraps, skirts, and simple gowns. II
is too nearly allied to the lustrous ma.
terials to be allowed to disappear.
The reign Of silk, however, has dimin-
ished for time. Cloth will take It's
place as q first favorite. Nearly all
SO far are Of very light weight for win.
ter wear. but II is probable that much
heavier fabrics will appear later. Cash.
mere is promised. with a higher finish
than the cashmere of old. silk ane
wooden poplin, wooden satin. satin de.
laine. and other soft and supple mate.
rails are being made into model gowns
and will soon be shown.
As for styles in gowns, II Is too SCOT
to speak. We are told by the CORE
spondents that more material than ever
will be required to make a gown. Fror
q to rs yards Of silk, we are informed
will be demanded for a costume OF
tailored suit that is expected to con.
form to the requirements of full skirt

full sleeves. The sleeves will con,
sumo an enormous quantity OF material

sides the extra fullness required in the
new skirts. and this too whether they b.
the all-around or the instep length
skirts, the new sleeves will require al
much II not more material than hereto
fore. There will be all sorts of draperies
and puflngs reaching from shoulder tt
elbow. and the surplice and crosswise
draperies Of the new waists will require
ample material to carry out the designs
correctly"
In the waists and coats Of the new
gowns. as far as they have been seen, the
tendency 10 toward small waist effects
The waist line. which has dropped SC
unnaturally for such long time, will be
moulded closely to the figure, thus in
creasing the size Of the hips. A great
many fancy vests. lapels. jabots, and
girdles in the directoire style, will be
used to decorate the waist fronts. No
one supposes that the dlrectoire fash
ions will have absolute sway, neverthe-
less. Coats Of several Louis periods
will divide their popularity.
