-Black silks and Black Cashmeres are perhaps the two most popular Fine Dress Fabrics to be had. A. Z. Foster has a Black Silk at $1.00 $1.25 fl.50 ami $1.7S that he thinks "out valued" any silk hereabouts costing either of the fou if prices. The Black Cashmeres shown by him at 50, 60, 75 and 82 cts are beautiful goods. They come in jet and blue black and certainly are big values.
