/ went window shopping-indoor
window shopping-several days of
last week and the glowing bright |
things which merchants and clerks |
showed so obligingly are full of
charm and interest to womankind. |
Bright colors predominant. Brilliant
blues, glowing reds, terra Gotta, ma
hogany, rose and tango. Does tango
suggest its tint? Nay, nay, it needs
to be seen, to be comprehended. But
it is one OF fashions newest colors.
For more conservative tastes there
are cool greens, the ever restful
greys, with plentiful showing OF
checks in black and white. There is
the familiar shepherds check, and
then, again, regular checkerboard
checks. Broken checks, and the new
est in honeycomb-a sort of metal
esse which appeals strongly to tastes
demanding out-of-the-ordinary. There
is harmony in color and fabric that
will be indeed JOY forever. Eponge,
: ratine, plain and fancy, granite cloth,
new suitingsC metalesse, and French
serge. BY the way, the French
serges carry one back to the good old
days of cashmeres and henriettas.

sense strictly new, like foulards, are
coming to the front again-a fact
which will delight every daughter OF

nothing can ever take their place
This season they rank second only to
crepes, and crepes are "it," beyond
cavil. Cotton crepes. wool crepes
and the soft slingy silken crepes, than
which nothing is prettier. There are
embroidered voiles, embroidered
crepes, cotton plisse, challies, flax

of beautiful figured goods out o
which clever fingers may fashioI
