A Season of
Soft Fabrics and Tints

gems to be the test by which the
new textures for spring are measured.
everything is soft, supple and with a
Slng1ng grace of line and fold. Where
last season batistes and mulls were
used this year we shall see even softer
marquisettes and voiles; where a year
ago voiles were the rule, this summer
mere will be fairy-fine grenadines and
linens that you could pull through a
niger ring so exquisitely supple and
silky-soft is the texture.
a. There are new glace taffetas, or
shot silk which belle their name !;
Ior somehow one associates crisp
ness and stiffness with a taffeta, and
especially a changeable taffeta. But
these new glace silks are almost as
raglike as chiffon and the cross weave
OF silk threads produces most won
oertul color effects. There is for in
stance, a weave of steel blue and yell
low silk which has the CLEAN and
sheen of cloth of gold on one side. 1t
seems impossible to believe that there
are not really golden threads in the
fabric. A black and silver weave is
equally beautiful and there is a green
ana gold mixture which is as splendid
as the color in dragon-hy's wing in
the sunlight.
The changeable grenadines are
beautiful also, the black and white
and black and yellow combinations
being promised special favor All
black and white effects are to be ex-
tremely fashionable, so the wiseacres
say; and even more fashionable will
be white and black effects-that is,
white grounds with black hairlines,
dots or small geometrica1 figures.
These white and black, and black and
white patterns are ready in every sort
of fabric-though of course few of
these materials are shown as yet in
the retail stores.
There are white serges, hair1ined
with black, white foulards sprinkled
With black dots and conventional fig
les, white swisses dotted with black,
"iite mohairs lined with black, white
'crepes with jacquard designs in black,
white eyelet embroideries with black
outlines; and the summer cottons will
include many white-with-b black pat
terms as we'll as white and colored pat
terms into which a touch of black is
introduced.
When the question of spring and

down. All this will give satin a con-
tinued vogue through the summer
season.
Light weight serges, mannish
worsteds and Scotch tweeds are
promised by the tai1ors for spring
suits. Mohairs and siciliennes will
also have a special vogue this season
because of the favor of French cot
turiers for these fabrics. Drecoll, Pa
quin, Redfern, Lanvinn, Martial Ar
mand and others have all been turn
with piplngs and bindings of satin,
and gay satin Innings in the short
coats.
Serges are always ideal for summer
wear, especially the cool navy blue
serges, but the number of serge cos
tunes noted at Trouville last August
and at all the French racing events
Throughout the season makes it GER
tain that serge will be a fabric of
particular smartness here this year.
Chevron striped and hairlin d
worsteds in mannish effects will also
be liked for clever little two piece
suits with straight, rather narrow
skirts and the loose, hip length coat
on box lines which will be the favorite
for spring.
Next to blue and black-and-white
mixtures, gray bids fair to be the
chosen shade in tailored wear. A
mixed pepper and salt or gun metal
gray is always most satisfactory in
gray fabrics, but if a solid color be
selected it should be remembered that
the mouse and elephant gray tones
are much more apt to be becoming
than the hard steel and slate grays
which are trying to any but the fairest
compilations.
Every woman will want at least one
white cotton wolfe lingerie frock this
summer, This material will be ex-
tremely fashionable in lingerie dresses
and some of the new models, trim
med with cream and ecru cluny are
very effective. Ecru lace on white,
by the way, is to be one of the fash
ion features of the coming season and
there is an elegance about this COM
bination that the all-white frock never
possesses. Some of the sheer voi1c
and marquisette Lingerie" frocks also
have deep hens and pipings in color
and on all these costumes-in fact on
everything for spring and summer
wear. rows of buttons will be enor-
mous1v used.

the retail stores had been accus-
toned to keep open of nights, and
the majority of the merchants were
induced to sign an agreement that
they would close at night, and the
few that did not agree to this found
that they lost trade. This, of course,
was affecting retail stores, as this
town had no wholesale stores In
this city there are a few wholesale
firms who allot to some OF their
clerks so much work that must be
done each day that the clerk has to-
work at night until late in order to
