A NEW color has been added to the al
ready extended list of novel, artistic
shades. 1t is called honeysuckle, and in
one light is of delicate rosy pink, and
in another throws out delicious golden
hue. 1t very much resembles the ms-
thetic tint known as "dawn which ap-
peared last year.
The most elegant wraps are long
enough to completely cover the dress
worn beneath them. They are in the
general shape of the Mandarin cloaks
worn last winter The new garments,
however, are fitted more closely to the
figure than last winter, and are often
left open from the waist In front to dis

the foot of the dress are again worn,
made of camel -hair shawls and trimmed
with heavy ruching of sewing silk IN
the mingling cOlors of the shawl. These
wraps are lined with quilted satin in
crimson peacock blue or some bright
shade of the wrap. Fancy cloakings are

laces are, however, deliberately beaded,
and are used in combination with jetted
crowns. Oval or round beads, for out

a decided yellow tinge should be selected,
because they are more like the real
Roman pearls.
