WHILE roaming about through
w Orchard & Wilhelm's Dccorat-
ing department yesterday, ! made a
most important discovery II was
cabinet containing wonderful rem-
r,ants of as rare and beautiful fabrics
as I've ever seen. Pieces OF Italian
brocaded velvet shot with metal
very, very acknowledgements, da-
masks, velours, velvets In rich tones
and deep pile, brocades and exquisite
light weight drapery silks. | simply
went into ecstacies over their beauty.
Some Of these pieces are large enough
for table covers, or furniture up
holstering, while others would make
handsome knitting bags, pillows and
lamp shades. And these may be
bought for mere songl ! couldn't
resist taking home two exceptionally
lovely pieces. ~

TT AVE you seen the pretty, new
IL Gingham silks at Thompson.
Belden's' Why, they are just like
the refreshing breezes of a spring
morningi These come in beautiful
plaids, or large and small natty checks
with broehe figures and are priced
81. $3.50 and So yard (36 inches
wide) But the most cunning silk
I've seen this season Is in satin and
taffeta blocked squares with broken
lines OF contrasting color--the plaids
are actually nine inches squarel This
material, which is $4ia yard, Is made
by the most exclusive fancy silk
house in America. II would be mar
vefous in combination with Georgette
for a frock, and the smartsst thing
possible for a separate skirt. As |
told you before, dear readers, silk Is
today the material OF patriotism, so
you'll all want silk dresses this. spring.
Mail orders are always given prompt
attention. at Thompson-Belden's. il
