MANY NOVELTIES FOR FALL

Wonderful Selection From Which the Woman of Fashion May Pick Her Favorite. Milady of fashion who is seeking for novelties in 'fall fabrics will have a wonderful selection to choose from this year. The softcolors which blend so well in furs show to special advantage in the new materials. Kittens’ ear cloth, a soft, velvety material, just what the name implies, is a triumphindeed of the weaver’s art. Drap de •hymphe, a cloth fabric with the luster and drape of charmeuee, chenille cloth which is rich, soft and distinctive, and peluche de laine bid fair to be some of the most used materials of the season. The demand for soft clinging folds and draperies this year has taxed the manufacturer's skill to the greatest degree. The result from the loom is a marvel of art, even the stiff brocade of silver and gold, praised by our ancestress of old, has been transformed under the deft finger of the weaver into a pliable material with a softness that falls and drapes at the modiste’s will. The brocade of this fall is of a royal richness, with a riot of color and fanciful designs. One beautiful design was woven of gold and claret, the warp being of one and the woof of the other. Over the background was brocaded a design in plain claret. The complete effect was an impression of veiled light.
