ing $500 for what appears to be very
simple garment, bat few persons will care
to buy more than one during the season.
Il il therefore best 10 be content with a
black cloak that may worn with petticoats
of every color. The gay, warm looking
garnet cloth, a novelty this winter, the
rich Humboldt purple, toe dead Ieaf
brown, and the soft, violet gray, are very
alluring in their beauty, but will neither
combine nor contrast we'll with other
colors, and are too conspicuous to he worn
