Start ofrtho race.

Time was when the notion Of using broadcloth
for anything but mems suits or a womans cloak,
Ierhaps, would have been thought a crazy one. No
dreamed in those days that broadcloth would
by and by be taking the place. to a great ex-
tent of silks and cashmeres for evening wear and
yet that is just what is happening. 1t is natusil
enough. for broadcloth. it is made now, is as
IIch in appearance velvet, as delicate as SILK.
One of the sections in Lord g. Taylors window
devoted to this material is broadcloth In topaz,
one OF the colors for afternoon and evening
wear, which comes in several tones A more
poetic color could not be devised. Crevette is an
other shade, and other new ones are blon-
dine. Iaurier, copper. 2relat, pomino, Copen-
hagen blue-which is not navy any other kind
of blue seen before, but which is delghtful-and
Caledonian green. The last color will be of
the favorites for street wear. Browns, wine color
and blue shades will also be seen in broadcloth
street suits.
The delicate pastel coiors, the crevettes and
topazes, and on. are, of course, confined to
afternoon and evening garments. Buyers just re-
turned from Europe say that many beautiful
broadcloth wraps in those colors are already on
exhibition there. Indeed some are being
shown in this country now.
