Is tho coat to all intent and purpose. The most
fashionable styles, rs developed by tic approach
OF the cold season, Is, as stated in previous
letter, handsomely Cut into the figure, and orna.
mented with revers broad cuff and large buttons,
This coat, when made in velvet, Is cut with side
panniers Instead OF lapres, and very richly TRIM
med with black lace at tie wrists and across the
shoulders, terminating in q cascade or series 0l
loops or bows in the centre or the back. Tic Sklrl
lined with white satin, and the garment when
completed, is called the marquise coat.
Another very handsome and more useful Ne!vel
cloak is made almost exactly like gentleman'f
dress-coat, only the lappels are rather narrow
and are turned back in reyers over rounded
pannlered overskirt and coat, separate from eacf
other, and can be worn separate or together Illt
cardinal shape Is revived in some OF the hand
soonest clOaks, with the addition OF broad loost
flap at the back trimmed with fabulous lace
which also forms q border to the bottom OF th'
garment.
Quite change has been effected this season By
the use OF heavy ribbed silks upon cloaks and vel
vet cloaks as trimming. The effect is exceeding G
y good; infinitely better than fiimsy fringe ant
