white, with much lace and fine sew

Of excellent goods, and q wise buyer

other standard goods which are in the

these sales string alcng quite to Feb

new wash and white dress goods.
The white list is large. The different
designs and apparently different mate
rails all woven from cotton leave moth
ing to be desired. There are batistes
in SO great variety that it would be
proftleSs to attempt to give them all
in detail, but l can say that there are
stripes, checks and embroidered fan
Cies, all white. In addition to the fan
cy swisses, there are also madras de-
signs, French piqueS and muslins, both
crisp and soft.
The ancient dotted swiss is shown
in great variety-that is. in the size CT
the dots. These vary from pin head to
those the size Of a nickel. There are
also designs of tiny sprays of flowers
in natural colors, and, these are in
wash silk, so that the gown may be
Numbered indefinitely. Some others
have neat floral designs in Il white
ground, while there are piques with al
most the same floral figures. Tique is
one of the standard cotton goods, but
it is hard and does not feel delicate,
While 1t takes soil even sooner the
the thinner materials. And pique is
harder to launder than thinner goods.

half linen and the rest cotton, are en-.
broidered by machine Batistes are

somehow manipulated so that it looks
like the finest wool wolfe, and other
cotton voiles, which are mercerized so
that they look like silk. Zephyrs there
are in every conceivable color and tint
