A SEASONABLE FABRIC. 



This refers to a Wasli Silk, one tliat 

 can be washed without the least 

 iiijiir.y to the fabric, either iu ap- 

 pearance or color. 



The lack of just such a material 

 lias Ions been felt, and its intro- 

 duction will undoubtedly be re- 

 ceived with satisfaction. 



Wash S ilks are light in texture, 

 tasteful in design and coloring, 

 and very durable, being- thus emi- 

 nently adapted for Spring and 

 Summer Wear. 



We are show iiig exclusive styles.
