March 24, 1891...: OUR SPECIAI. "VIEW ‘ .-—-—0F——- NEW DRESS FABRICS Was highly complimented Saturday. The exhibit is so much broader than our announcement of it. It seems quite impossible to translate. the beauty of these TEXTILE ART WORKS into words. As .. consequence everybody found more to see than they had expected. One day is far too short for a thorough inspection of either VVools or Cottons. COLORS alone are a study, light tints being most favored. Tans and Grays. shade themselves in more ways than one Would think possible. Natural tints of the wool are given prominence, but I flecks or lines of brilliant color are used effectively among them. PLAIDS take the widest range, beginning with the tiniest Checks and running up toathe breadest Cross Stripes ; variations innumerable, in color 4 and character. Our gatherings in PLAIN DRESS. GOODS should not be lost sigh of in this great -flood of novelty. They are complete, embracing all the standard weaves. A marked feature of this display is the collection of ROUGH SURFACE FABRICS. These are Fashion’s favorites, and are shown in great abundance. Nothing short of sight can convey even an approximate idea of the fancies which have been brought out in them. BLACK GOODS—rich, elegant and extensive lines—the finest and - choicest, including complete importations in Henriettas, Serges, Nun's Veiling, Batiste, Drap de Alma, etc, etc. In conclusion we will say there are two values to a purchase, viz, what it costs and what it is worth. COrk costs eight Cents a pound, .but if you are drowning half a mile from shore its value would be not what you pay Not what you for cork, but what cork pays you. So of tasteful dressers. pay for dress, but what dress pays yOu, that is the real test. JACKETS. CORSET S. The spring opens with golden promise.
