spring and summer fabrics that can be
washed. 1t has a crepe ground of
monotones. and is distinguished by
embroidered dots. Crepe Jacqueline,
another silk and cotton goods in
monotones. runs through the gamut of
colors from pale ecru to black, with
overrunning jacquards. Crepe Ar
maine is similar to crepe marquise,
save that silk stripes instead of dots
break its surface. Crepe princess is
all cotton, but is a charming fabric.
Wolfe duchess is a new and cheap all
cotton goods, with three threads WOW

the lustre of silk, and printed in
Pompadour designs.
