We have looked over the largest,

; note they are showing materials for
coats and suits in quite a large range
of stripes also heavy cloths. Brocaded
violet seems to have much faf
vor In the high class dressy garment
i Cutaway coats predominate ii>
lengtliB of 36 and J8 inches: Scpaj
rate coats will be worn to a good extent,
materials are mostly fancy
stripee in all colors. There seems
to be no special color for the season
as almost every color is being sbo^n
r_ extensively. The wide belt effect.
. (Bulgarian.) seems to hold some" faj
vor in popular price garments, both

Let mo add that we thoroughly appreciate
