. “Q
there been such an attractive as» ,‘
sortment of wash goods as this i
year. .Whether it is due to the
happy inspiration of garment designers or not;
is a question, we only know that we have these
extremely pretty styles. The abundance of
heavy cottons such as Gabardines, Beach Cloths,
Poplins and fancy Skirtings designed espec—
ially for sports clothes, gives the department a
gaiety of c'olor that is indescribable. With
these are mingled a profusion of' fl0we1'ed voiles,
corded or embroidered effects, printed and

novelty weaves in thin cloths which make a be-
