SPRING aoAks AND MANTIEs.
The size of the cloaks has diminished with
the size Of :he hats, md both are now rs
small as 1t is possible and preserve any pre-
text Of covering. The long circular cloaks,
and basquiues, have quite disappeared, and

trimmed with festooned cords and tassels :;
short sacks, With saucr pockets aud military
buttons, and fancy little coats, with lapcls
open on the back, and Ttrrrs, which Just show

tits. &.
