The graceful Hungarian mantle is one
of the most stylish wraps for the fall and
winter. Its striking feature is the square
Hungarian sleeve that now forms a part
of the various mantles, but originally
belonged to this shape; these sleeves
cover the arm well, and keep the garment
down clese to the sides in the clnging
stylish fashion, and as they are cut of
straight below, the dropping sides that
belong to the dolman are avoided. The
front Is straight and loose, while the
back is sloped into the figure by seams.
The plain princess polonaise and demi-
trained skirt has the new princesse po-
lonaise, which is used for velvet silk, or
, fine wooden garments, and is at same
time chosen on account of its simplicity
for the plaincst alpaca or cashmere
dresses. The front is fitted by two darts
without the cross basque seams, and sets
smoothly on the figure. The side forms
begin in the armhole instead Of in the
shoulder seam, and are draped slightly
in connection with the middle forms OF
the back. The seams of the back taper
gracefully, and swell out below the waist
line in Marguerite style; then panier
pouf is caught up by means of draw
ing string or by plaits; below this the
fullness falls in a sweeping curve.
The long cloak and full trained skirt
is similar to those worn last winter, but it
is now more gracefully fitted on the
shoulders and in the seams OF the back,
and is therefore more generally adopted.
The heaviest cloths are made up by
this pattern without lining, and are
trimmed with scallops, fringe, etc.
Richly repped black silk satin, and vel
vet are used for dress clOaks made in
this way, and are not trimmed in the
early part of the winter; later in the
season they are borlered with fur, and
many have the fur Innings that were de-
scribed last week.
The newest fringed for trimming
cloaks and dresses or rich silk. satin, or
velvet are called sealskin fringe, and
are made of very fine chenille stands
hanging straight without a heading.

Matching gloves with the dress is no
longer in fashion; contrasts are resorted
to now that dresses are worn in cOlors that
would not look well in gloves. For in

popular, but reddish gloves would not
be in good taste, hence to wear with req
tinted dresses are gloves OF pale DUN or

fastened by three or four buttons are
chosen, while Tor more dressy. occasions
