clOakS worn last winter are not like
" to be in general use next season.
There is much to be said in their
favor, but they have some dIsad
vantages. These cloaks completely
cover the dress, and are consequent
" very economical, as Old skirts
can be worn under them. This is,
however, not a paying fashion
for dressmakers, as there is no de-
mand for handsome walking suits
when these cloaks are fashionable.
The circular cloak is very becom
ing to tall, slight figures, and not
uubecoming TO stout persons, and
even small, short figures can wear
this garment. Rich walking suits
are, however, much more dressy
than the long garments, and these
will, no doubt, find many partisans
The confections, which are to be of
medium size, are very graceful, and
although long ones have so many
advantages, they will probably soon
be abandoned for the newer styles.
Some shapes will be half tight fit
ting and half long. Fur trimmings
will not be very long.
There are, however, pelisses max
ing of black wooden goods or gros
grain silk for autumn wear, which
are lined with bright-colored satins,
blue and orange. These are trimm-
ed with black lace, and slightly
gathered at the neck. They are
very tight in the back, where they
are open on the lower part. The
straight front forms the sleeve, a
slit being cut in the goods
and small bias band sewed against
this, and covered with lace. in the
neck is a very large bow, with fall
ing loops. The same garment will
be trimmed for winter wear with
fur and passementerie. Hoods are
likely TO be worn on outer gar
menJs.
The waist called "surcot We're
nese," now that 1t is in general use,
has been given another name; it is
called the "tricot Jersey" This
waist has been rapidly gaining fav-
or since it was first brought out.
Embroidery and lace retain their
prestige, and will do so, most prob
ably, for some time to come. A
"Fenelon" toilet which has just
been completed has the skirt cover
ed with tiny Malines lace founces.
The surah scarf is tied in the back
below the waist to form long ends;
this makes the tuEique. The waist
is a 'tricot Jersey"
Guipure embroidery is in all the
colors of the goods with which it is
and forms beautiful trim
nings. 1t is also used for lingerie,
such as large batiste collars and |
,uffs. A great quantity of this EN-
,roidery is used on children gar
nents, as il is much stronger than
ace. Percale petticoats are trimm-
d with a deep plating scalloped
q the border. Under this scallop
} a narrow gathered flounce, point
d on the end. This forms a kind
t balayeuse. Simple peignoirs are
lade with large "Juive sleeves and
with narrow scallOped
ands. Elegant indoor dresses
re of surah in all shades, with full
ce trimmings and colored satin
bbon butterfly bows. Many peig-
oirs have old fashioned broad rib
IN sashes, which are tied a little
w on the left side. Double, triple
nd quadruple lace collars continue
vogue. Full ruchings are also
lie style. Fichus of all kinds,
abots" and neckties are made of
lch light fabrics as gauze de PInde.
hese are all a great addition to
lie toilet. A fichu of bretonne lace
nd brocaded gauze PInde is made
f q deep piece of bretonne lace for
lie lower part and a piece not
ute as wide turning up to form
he "Medicis" collar. Between the
.ces is a bias band Of gauze, en-
roidered with tiny PompadouI
overs. Down the front is a lace
Ibot, with cream colored surah
ows.
\ toilet for visiting purposes
lay be of black "surah merveil t;
.ux." The train skirt is trimmed
18th two plated hounces. The
1rah apron is embroidered with
eads and bordered with fringe.
'wo scarfs, which are sewed in the
ide seams, are tied in the center of
le apron, falling in two small
nds, bordered with fringe. The
.aist is slightly opened, in shawl
hape, in the neck, where it is sur
bundled by an embroidered collar.
IN the lower part of the basque is
small plated scarf, which is taken
p under tue arms. The back
)rms a fiat basque. From the neck
D below the basque is a beaded
which il taken in narrow
n the waist, and becomes wider as
goes up and down. The lower
art is bordered with beaded fringe.
| small piece of surah Is draped in
he back among the beaded trim
ling. The long sleeves are trimm
d at the wrist with a plating sur
ounded by a deep cuff. In front
f the waist are loops of satin rib
on. The black hat has raised
rim with velvet worked with Jet.
IN the crown are black feathers,
nclining in contrary directions.
This toilet can also be of black
allie, and the jet embroideries may
e replaced by embroidered tulle,
raped like an apron or arranged in
uilles over all the trimmed parts
f the dress.
Travelling dresses continue to be
lade in new styles. Some Jackets
re hooked on the sides by means
t tongue underneath and form =
wo angles in front. The point of
ne of these is fastened over the !
1T shoulder; the other is fastened :
gsinst the side over the hip. They 7
re both sewed under 4 satin rib c
Oh bow. The basque. sleeves and
ollar are cut in the usual way. !
ONE jackets form plated panels
n the basque and over the hips.
