well. ladies who can afford to choose secu-
ring the rich novelties offered as soon as
they are shown.
III the new bonDets are handsome and the
new dress materials magnificent, the new
wraps are many OF them simply superb.
Cloths at thirty, forty, and even fifty dollars
ward; fringes which cost twenty-five and
thirty gimps as expensive, and buttons at
ten or even twenty dollars q dozen, are the
component parts OF cloaks, the prices OF
which mount up far into the hundreds.
The amount OF Jet used Is simply laDu-
lous, vet it adds little to the weight OF Tie
garments, for the new Jet is hollow, ana
therefore exceedingly light. Soft chenille
fringes, tipped and threaded with noioW
let beads, rosettes OF silken cords, crlmped
fringes like moss, wonderful bead embroid-
cries and ornaments which are one mass OF
sparkling let-these are the leading features
in the garniture OF the new wraps.
AS OF old, black is the fayorlte color Tor
these elegant garments, but the black IS
frightened with Innings OF gay color-yivid
red, old gold and heiotrope, in soft surah
or satin. Cords and tassels form the faSten-
ines on many imported wraps, and The Ia
yorite cords are OF soft chenille or are all
silk, yet heavy withal.
An extremely quaint and novel wrap is
the new japanese mantle OF black satin,
lined with red surah, shirred around the
neck and in the back and around the wrlstS
| of the odd pouch-like sleeves, which are the
most singular feature of this singular man
tie, A prOfusion Of gathered black French
lace and Jet trims this wrap, and it Is finished
eyerywhere-on the neck, the sleeves. and
| in the back-with long, looped bows OF
black satin ribbon. On slender figure this
mantle is the very perfection OF style, ana
this. added TO the ease with which 1t may
be put Oh and off, will combine to render 1t
popular.
A wrap, fit for princess or wealthy
| American, to borrow the French phrase, Is
long pelisse in surtout shape, OF neaVy
black satin. A round cape, edged with che
mile fringe and with pointed hood,
Is added, and the trimming is wide band
Of black fox round neck and sleeves, down
the fronts, and around the skirt. The wrap
fa.tens to the waist with invisible buttons,
where il is held by heavy cord, and
thence falls open to display the skirt OF the
dress.
Some very elegant jackets are OF figured
velvet or rich satin brocade, combined with
plain velvet or satin, and trimmed with the
large buttons which are so elegant and so
costly.
The dolman continues a favorite shape,
and is shown in cloth, in fur-bacSed Sicll-
lenne, in satin de lyon, and satin duchesse,
lined with quilted satin in gay colors-ln
all materials, IN fact. On these thick moss
lruches, bead-studded, encircle the neck
and sleeves and head the rich fringes at the
bottom, while the back is almost covered
by plastrons of jet passementerie, and IN
front jetted cords aud buttons are festooned
for iastenings.
COSTLY CL0AKS.
"Guess the price OF this wrap" said the
head OF the department, holding up an odd
looking mantle, cloak, or what not, OF dark
brown cloth and velvet, with long hood
lined with satin, In the same shade. "Guess
from its appearance before you examine II
closely. 1t is expensive"
ga hundred and fifty dollars?" "Gues:
aeain-no, two hundred" The mantle wa
plain enough for any but an Orthodox
Friend, but the quality Of the materials wa
superb-the heavy cloth soft as lambs WOO
or nuns yelling, the velvet the richest MAKE
of Lyons, and the satin also, while the cords
and tassels were all silk, thick and soft
The novice might pass 1t by, but the con
r noiSseur would delight in its costly sim
plicity.
Very elegant cloaks are Of cisele velvet
and as il that were not rich enough, arr
heavily trimmed with bead embroidery ant
