With the present chill feel OF winter
in the air It is hard TO imagine why
anybody's attention should turn to bath
ing suits. But evidently this summary
sort OF garb is still kept in mind, espe-
cially by those who intend wintering at
Palm Beach. and are being shown In a
profusion OF brilliant colors and stripes
OF various widths OF the brightest hues
on backgrounds of darker and contrast
ing shades.
Some knitted suits are on display.

Velvet Wanted but Is Scarce.

Paris says that velvets are to be
used extensively this season, but in
the scramble to follow out the fashion
centres decree New York buyers have
run up against the dismaying fact that
there are no velvets to be had in the
weights and colors most wanted.
Together with the shortage which has
already become apparent. and the Gov
ernment's recent order curtailing the
output of silk. which will have the eff
feet OF diminishing the manufacture Of
sill: velvet. manufacturers OF women's
apparel are facing hard proposition.
They are said TO feel 1t acutely as there
are signs that velvet will be more called
for in costuming and wraps than has
ever been the case

Urgent Needs Crop Up.

Bids on woollen cloth which the Gov
ernment had not intended to ask for
until next March are being requested
now. This Fastening OF the programme
is necessary to meet army needs. In
formation to this effect was received
from Washington yesterday
The need for the made UP goods Is
more urgent. II is said, than had been
anticipated. and it il therefore needtui
to begin making contracts for the cloth
at once. so that the yarns can be spun
IN readiness for the weavers
Many bids are expected to be made
for the contracts. The Industry is
watching developments closely and con-
siderng what effect they will have on
prices.

That a large number of cloak and
suit makers here may take advantage Of
the favorable conditions in the Cleveland
market and go there in search OF work
were statements heard yesterday at the
headquarters OF the Joint Board OF the
Cloakmakers Union.
The discussions centred around the
decisions of the referees in the dispute
between the Cleveland workers and their
employers and it was pointed out that
ii had developed that cloak and suit
makers earnings were greater in the
Cleveland market than in New York.
1t was explained that this was not true
because of higher wages, but because OF
the longer working season.

While the fall blouses are still being
displayed in the stores, those that give
an idea OF the coming spring fashions

Some of the attractive coming spring

Seconds" Cause Trouble.

Refusal of the Quartermaster Depart
ment to accept seconds Is causing knit
goods manufacturers much concern.
They contend that 1t is next TO impossi-
ole to manufacture underwear which
will all be perfect, and they say that
their loss is considerable when II is con,
sidered that 1t costs upward OF $l75
to make an army garment, and the sec
onds run from to per cent. of the
thousands OF dozens OF garments being
turned out.

ter has been adopted comparatively re-
