It is not easy to forecast—in tabric or desig that which will te likely to become a popular “rage” in this country. Every season there are styles and designs that “take” and others that die @ natural death. The canvas materials Were in great force abroad last year; and they cover (he counters of the great dry goods houses iu New York ut the present moment; but they are not very generally bought or suld. They form part ot the wardrobe of the dressy young Or married lady who can afford a variety of handsome mes; but they are looked at, admired and leit by the turiity matron who has to provide for herself aud daughters, Canvas dresses in seasonable styles are ex- pensive; they must be made over silk; and the trimming part—which consists of stripes—if Velvet or plush in rich, contrasting colors, is usually supplemented by @ vest or revers of silk velvet in the deepest shade of the stripe. ‘This, and che silk lining, brings the cost of ma- lerlals alone up toa high figure; and when to this, the usual fiteen to twenty dollars or mak- ing is added, the outiay is more than is re- QUired for a silk and It is nota silk dress after all. This is au unanswerable position with many women. If they are to have a nice dress nd pay a good price, lt must be sil aud must show that it is silk. Abroad, a canvas dress such as Ihave men- toned, would be considered sufficiently elegant for @ “Winer” oF ior “Lest” by ihe wives of Well todo merchants und professional men; and more distingulsked than a plain silk; walle the cont to thems would be reduced to probably balls by the lessened cost of materia and iabor.
