NEW FABRIC IS DELIGHTFUL

Nothing Prettier Thar the Brocaded Velvet Has Been Introduced for Many Seasons. Almost regal In their loveliness are the new evening fabrics for the coming winter season. And particularly true is this of the new brocaded velvets. For splendor of coloring and richness of designs and variety they are unequaled. One feature is their lightness of weight—a whole gown is not cumbersome, for the velvet Is chiffon weight and woven of very light silk. * The newest silks have a chiffon background, filmy and delicate, from which the raised velvet figures stand out In richness and beauty. The corals, rose colors, soft amber shades and greens are unusually beautiful and are being much used for the more elegant toilettes.
