NEW YORK FASHIONS

The new-naterial that come under the
head Of Summer fabrics are being shown
at all the fashionable shops, as has become
the style in recent years. So accustomed
have women become to selecting such
goods in January that the seeming un-
seasonabieness awakens no comment.
The people who led in modes have formed
the habit OF going South in Winter with
as much regularity as they go to Newport
or Bar Harbor in Summer and not only
do the new "wash goods" make their bow
to the public with the beginning of the
year but the gowns intended for Southern
wear from the best makers are shown on
all sides.
These set the Styles
for the coming seasons and the clever
woman who likes to be up to date in her
dressing, buys her materials early while
the prettiest colorings and designs are OBJ
and with her own skiIlful fingers
or the help of some bright little dress

ants wear as thin materials only prettier

wearer effectually however low the tenn

are besides 81 becoming and durable, and
give such Il air Of elegance and distinc-
tion when thrown back at theatre, con-
cert or other resort, that no article OF
woman's dress is more satisfactory as an
investment Our coldest weather coming

and later as an important part of her
Summer outfit to insure her readiness
when the warm days come as they are apt
to do quite suddenly late in May.
Perhaps the Prettiest
of all the new 1906 dress goods are the
Banzai Silks. These are delicate yet dur
able mixtures OF silk and cotton, very
glossy and supple. They come in all the
fashionable color tones and in both plain
goods and in figured designs. The name
Banzai is stamped in Japanese characters
on the blue wrappers of the goods though
it may be suspected that the pretty stuff
never saw Japan but is the clever produc-
ton OF American looms. For all that no
one cares however, the main thing is that
for so cents yard you can buy the pretty
silky Banzai and make all sorts of dainty
dresses, waists and negligees not only for
adults but for the younger fry, for the
material washes perfectly, and is being
used by all up-to-date dressmakers.
