The Tweeds and Homespuns.
Striped tweeds are introduced for tailor costumes. The stripes are mere lines of color matching the bouretting and running lengthwise on a dark ground. The tweeds and homespuns are gaining in favor and increasing in variety and beauty as their merits are tested. The storm serge and the finer twill serge come plain in all colors, the brown being very attractive. Heavy wool shot in two colors, red with blue, green with brown, and so on through all possible combinations, is new and makes serviceable winter walking costumes. It has a homespun body, with a waved, serge-like surface. Homespuns in fine shepherd's check are in green and black, gray or brown with black, or green with brown or some shade of purple, or one of the dark red tints will be checked with black.
