radnement do not go in the streets with
their necks exposed. They wear ruffs and
crsyat bows that fill up the opening Of the
Iow.throated dresses, and cover that part Of
tbe neck which is left uncovered in the
house.
Casaoues are very long, often reaching to
the edge of the dress skirt when draped.
They are made to look unanimously full
hv the addition of two and sometimes
three widths OF the material at the back.
These widths are fastened to the waist by
hand which is concealed beneath short
BASQUE that is cut in one piece with the
body The Lucca casaque has the long
reyers now in favor, and the bow in front
Of the belt.
Lace, rich heavy fringes, and thick pas
sementerie, are the handsomest trimmings;
Int these are very expensive; consequently
handmade trimmings of the material are
much used. If different material is pre-
farred. velvet is more used than satin, for
nothing detracts so much from the style of
a silk suit, and gives it an old.fashioned
appearance, as to have it laden with satin
trimming. The plainest imk orted paletot
of black gros grain, trimmed with little
pasgemepterie, and fringe or lace, cost S35.
Handsomer ones are from S75 to $3.50.
Low-priced casaques, of the same material,
are $50, AID many are $3.50. Neat small
garments of light quality of silk, made
here in good style, cost $25.
The most elegant wrappings of the sea-
son are casaques Of China Grape. These are
often made as parts of SUITS and OF the col
or of the silk dress with which they are
worn, but black China Grape casaques are
far more distinguished looking, andat the
same time more useful, as they may be
worn with white, gray or ecru dresses as
well as black. 1t is not, however, ,consid-
cred stylish this season to wear bright blue,
green and striped skirts with black over
dress To be graceful the casagues OF this
soft clinging material must be very long
and fully draped. They are sften made
with two long points behind, and the ends
are crossed over and caught up to the belt
Double width China Grape, nearly two
YARDS wide is $40 yard single width
Grape is S. Az imitation Grape, thickly
woven, but not all silk, is So. So, andthree-
quarters of yard wide. A new trimming
for China Grape is richly embroidered net
initiating lace 1t is made in O kind of in
sertion, and is placed over satin ribbon for
heading rutfies and fringe. Black lace over
white blonde, crlmped fringe, light passe-
menterie and silk embroidery on the gar
ment itself are other stylish trimmings
used on these casaques. The French EN-
press collected beautiful specimens of nee
die work during her eastern tour, end
Partisan mitators are consequently using
embroidery on everything.
Wraps for cool mornings are OF cashmere
and drap d etc. These soft, twilled fabrics
have entirely superseded cloth for the par
pose Black cashmere paletots are most IN
favor They are trimmed with gilt braid
and fringe for young ladies' with notched
ruches OF the cashmere for those who are
older Fine cashmere costs from s. to Is
ayard Drap d etc as soft as cashmere,
and sufficiently fine for the purpose, may
be bought for 50 yard. The paletot COM
plete is sold for $l6.
For old ladies there are square shawls OF
worsted grenadine. either black or white,
with hem four inches wide turned up on
the right side and stitched by machine, or
held by row of braid Such shaws OF
mixed wool and silk grenadine are So. 80.
II edged with fringe theyare SIS. Very fine
silk grenadins shawls richly fringed, that
formerly sold for SIS, are now $40. For
heavier wraps on cool MORNINGS old ladies
wear square shawls of fine black cashmere,
with hem headed by vine of silk en-
broidery, in which fine jet is introduced
Embroidered sprays orc distributed about
on the shawls. Price S25 "a
SUMNER SUITS.
Ladies who prefer trained skirts for the
house have their suits made with single
skirt and casaque, and always change their
costume upon coming in from the street;
but those who, for convenience and econo-
my, mako the same suit serve for both
house and street, prefer two skirts and
paletot, as the single skirt would look too
plain for indoor wear when the caSaque Is
