spicuous novelties. 1t is shown in an
entire material to be used as trimming
for coats and combined with. thinner
fabrics, and also it is woven in strips
with wolfe between. 1t Is beautiful

ouisite costumes are being made OF
the two materials used together, the
striped fabric making the gowns while
the plain fabric makes the trimming
and little coates.
