SMART NEW DESIGNS.
Plaids, Checks and Stripes for
Early Winter Wear

In addition to the new plain broadcloth
there are most exquisite effects in fancy
designs. Among these are plaided and
checked, striped and overlaid patterns
that are the acme of art. So fine. soft
and supple are Trey that many times they
resemble a heavy satin in weight and
appearance rather than cloth
These will be made up into tailored
gowns for general and dressy wear.
One of the newest designs that is espe-
c,ally stylish is a narrow stripe of light
brown, alternating with a narrower one
of lighter brown. Two shades of blue.

will greatly reduce the price of the
glove bill. The intestines of the New
foundianl whale are said to furnish this
new fabric. The real value, it seems. of
this part of the whales anatomy has only
within the last wear been comprehended
by the hardy fishermen of the north who
have risked their lives solely for the oil

mink. The finer skins are without the
red and yellow tints OF the cheaper sort;
but. besides being a thing OF no artistic
value, an inferior quality of mink is al
ways a bad investment, for it wears
rough and loses very soon what little dark
tints II originally possessed. 1t Is much
better TO content ones self with a good
variety of a less expensive fur. In the
cheaper furs the despised skunk or what
they call here in Paris American sable, is
being pushed TO the fore by furriers this
season. Under this term comes marten, a
soft, pretty pelt that does not give out
the unpleasant odor that skunk or Alaska
sable exudes when wet. The Parisienne
