higher class trade is a disposition to
advance the cnt.sI)k variety. For the
first time in several years it Is hardly
possible to name any two or three cot

son. The range of buyers selections
up to date cover the entire chromahc
scale, while brilliant effects are promi-

cut-silk designs are for the most part
restrained to short-bias stripes and
small figures.

The demand for the higher grade of

ness that is pleasing to many dealers
and manufacturers as well 1t Is a

almost universally worn, and dealers
declare that this will continue so
throughout the coming fall and winter,

Some dealers declare that the ad-
vent of cool weather will in no way
affect the popularity of the so.caIled
"atbletic union suits, meaning the
sort that have no sleeves. and reach
only 10 the knees. But others assert
that while this NAV be so, i'm regard

favor and only ono TO IFS disadvantage
And this may be obviated by securing
proper fit when purchasing. aud by
selecting material that will not shrink
even under the cruel treatment of the
steam laundry.
