Arnold, Constable & Co. 



In the large and luxuriously equipped estab- 

 lishment of Arnold, Constable & Co., Broadway 

 and Nineteenth Street, the thoughtful woman 

 finds everything in the way of wearing apparel 

 and all the necessaries of the wardrobe to 

 gratify every cultivated taste. The firm are 

 past grand masters in the art of selecting the 

 richest, most reasonable and beautiful goods 

 the dry goods market affords, and of so placing 

 and displaying their treasures as to please 

 every customer within their doors. 



The exhibition of model costumes is queenly 

 in its completeness. A regal Paquin gown has 

 a foundation skirt of shell-white satin and a 

 second skirt of white tulle rosetted in several 

 tiny rows. Over this is a veiling of white lace 

 applique. The skirt is very full and round, 

 and drapes away from the figure in lovely 

 billows. The bodice waist of white chiffon is 

 covered with black net spangled in steel. The 

 cutaway pointed bolero is also richly garni- 

 tured. Above the bolero are drif tings of tulle, 

 edged with cream lace and a stock of white 

 satin. The sleeves are transparent and 

 trimmed with chiffon and lace. The girdle 

 is of coral ribbon. 



A dainty Doucet gown suitable for almost 

 any person is of open work etamine, in helio- 

 trope of bar design. The bottom of the skirt 

 is finished in tiny bands of heliotrope velvet 

 and a pleating of corn-colored chiffon. The 

 basque waist has a bolero of etamine trimmed 

 with chiffon and velvet, opening over a 

 chemisette of accordion-pleated buff chiffon. 

 The stock is of buff chiffon and lace. The 

 sleeves fit snugly, and are gracefully decorated 

 in chiffon and lace. The girdle is finished 

 with sash ends of pompadour silk. A hand- 

 some tailor-made frock is of pale gray, smooth- 

 faced cloth, braided in a fine pattern of black 

 and steel. The jacket opens over a violet 

 chiffon vest and has a collar of deep pansy 

 velvet. An exquisite white organdie has four 

 full flounces gracefully arranged on the skirt. 

 The yoke is square cut and finished in ruffs 

 and the sleeves are elaborately trimmed. 



The silks of Arnold, Constable & Co. are 

 noted far and wide, and they seem more lovely 

 than ever this season. The beauty of these 

 materials is that they are light in weight and 

 rich and becoming in their combinations of 

 colors. In new shades there are to be noticed 

 Alexandra brown, mummy brown, serpolet 

 green, Napoleon blue, saffron, Moscow red, 

 Sultan red and new shades in violet, mauve, 

 ashes of roses and tan. The Roman colors in 

 silks, surahs and taffetas will be much worn, 

 and all sorts of patterns are exhibited in fancy 

 foulards. But probably most favored of all 

 are the new Louisines, which come in many 

 patterns. They are two-toned, blocked in 

 many colors, checked in brown, bronze and 

 olive, magenta, buff and white and buff, black 

 and violet and many other combinations of 

 tints. The Persian taffetas, too, call forth 

 much praise, as do taffeta chenilles, taffeta 

 poplins and the clouded taffetas. In other 

 materials are to be found the novel pauletts in 

 lovely claret, royal purple and French gray 

 shades, striped, blocked, checked and run 

 through with odd threads, light gray and tan 

 serges, chic grenadines and fancy silk and 

 wool goods.
