GETTING ON WITHOUT THE DYES

ward doing aways with the request for
eolors, and It is claimed that the fact
OF black being so popular is very i'm,
portant, as black can be more satisfae
torily handled than other colors in log
wood dyes. Some very good black
dyes are said to be made in the mill
sections of the United States, so the
situation will be largely relieved by the
popularity of black.
At present the number Of shades OF
certain classes OF fabrics is narrowing
down; that Is, from the mills. OF
course it is too early for it to affect
the retail trade, and it will be some
time before the customer who goes TO
the store for particular color will be
disappointed. There are those who
say that when there is transportation
for the dyes which are all ready for
shipment in the German factories
there viii be a supply for the Ameri-
can mills for many months, as there
will naturally be little demand for
them in the European markets.

my opinion, is the finest collection

says, already have announced their.
