CLoAKs.
In wraps for street wear there is no ma
terial change. Loose sacks-richly
trimmed, and often confined at the back by
a ribbon sash, with bow and ends-are
much worn. But the newest style is the
closely-fitting pelisse, and that combines a
short dress and outdoor coat, and is very
becoming to good figure. A sash, usual
ly made of rich corded silk, is worn around
the waist, and the skirt is about the same
length as the upper skirt, of walking suit.
Some have these pelisses trimmed with
fur, but they are pretty with no trimming.
When these pelisses are worn over silk
skirt of some contrasting color, the effect is
striking. For young ladies' jackets of vel
vet, trimmed with fur, are fashionable.
An elegant, though costly costume was
noticeable on the street recently. The short
walking dress was of velvet, and made
double skirt; each one having a straight
band of sealskin, four inches wide, round
the bottom. The hat and loose sack were
also of sealskin. Sealskin bonnets also,
those made of white fur. are much worn
this season in Europe.
