New YORK, Feb. IA long cloak need
not of necessity prove warm one. Far
from it and if in prophetic spirit you
look forward to April showers and May
blossoms, you can, with propriety, imagine
yourself attired in long cloak of light
material. For ladies, no longer young,
there is special elegance in garments
prolonged beyond the jacket, while to the
youthful, broader choice of either or
both lies open. There is special ele-
gance per Sc in the long cloak and in the
cause OF good taste, let US wish prolong-
alton of its fashionableness. In Paris,
one observes this admirable class of gar
ments, produced in light woods or even
in lace, showing beautifully over silk or
satin lining. Nothing more truly graceful
cal be imagined and as most of the good
over to New York, we would do we'll to
familiarize ourselves with these commend
able ideas In shape there is selection
among shapes cut in to the figure, others
with gathering and shoulder pieces that
form the sleeves; third style with full
ness shirred in the back; fourth with
a Vatican plaid. There will, nevertheless,
be large demand for the pretty mantelet
styles of out door coverings adapted to
the demi-saisons; to say nothing of the
jacket tribe, numerous as Scottish clan.
THE NEWPORT SCARF
is one of the most convenient additions to
the costume. Economical too, perhaps,
since you can change it around and make
it do duty sometimes for the corsage,
sometimes for skirt drapery; twisting it
sometimes this way sometimes that or for
variety's sake, folding 1t away and wearing
your dress without it. Draped as fchu
with mantle ends, it will be an excellent
substitute for light oyergarment. Those
which come ready made are of pure silk
brocade with finish of silken fringe, but
almost anyone can take a length of bro
cade and trim it with fringe or black lace.
For slender figures, when tied in bouffant
fashion around the hips,an excellent thing;
but for the stout, | would say beware"
Yet few so stout as not to be able to wear
one about the corsage as mantelet 6chu.
Then too in these days of liberty and great
variety in dress, see no special prohibit
ton upon stripes. Wherefore not a strip
of stripes? Go to work boldly if so dis
posed. Cut your stripes of length to suit
your fancy; finish it to your fancy and be-
hold yourself fancifully fashionable. In
deed, know not why plaids or dots or any
other pattern may not be so employed, but
would respectfully suggest that these
faucifUl goods look always better in con-
trast with plain Material. In such COM
bination their proper destiny is fulfilled.
They are beautifed and so are you.
EVENING COSTUMES.
The evening costume of pale green plush
and satin in Lord & Taylor's famous
bay window, reveals the fact that both
these materials are used for full dress.
conviction that is strengthened by the
sight in an inner sanctum of superb
toilette where the front breadth of delicate
pink satin is OVERLAND with large velvet
leaves of deep shaded brown put on at in
tervals. The back is princess with flow
ing train of rich brocade where leafy col
umns in dark brown traverse a ground
work of pale pink satin; neck square low
and short sleeves. For rich goods. one
must have the train and here we find the
round square, that is, the square with
corners rounded chiefly in vogue
and often so combined, that for dancing
it can be taken off. Sleeves are sleeves or
not sleeves, just as one chooses, and one
can have as much or little Of sleeve as
one is inclined to, from the slight pretense
Of one amounting really to nothing at
all, to sleeves reaching we'll down the wrist.
OF course. as the sleeve increases the glove
decreases and vice versa. Unless in fancy
dress, there is small opportunity for pref
ty arms. since if you do not cover them
with silk or satin, you must with the long,
long, long, long kid glove, coming verify
almost to the shoulder. Ones sole refuge
here is lace. You can have lace sleeve
which serves all the purposes of exhibition
while pretending to conceal. Black lace
gives an admirable pretence and can be
worn by ladies somewhat advanced, with
out improperly, while white lace too is
largely used. But black lace is a safer
choice. As for necks, the question is set
tied in the most satisfactory way, by al
lowing variety of ways. Square low,
Pompadour heart shaped, while if you
want a square low ana yet wish the neck
covered. behold a cloud of lace or tulle
added with high art dexterity.
JEwELR7.
There is some talk of reviving the "set''
of former days. Brooch and earrings
worn according to rule and method, and
exactly matching. A leading house, in
deed, has these sets on exhibition, but it
remains to be seen whether ladies will &C.
cept them. Whether they will not continue
to prefer the coquettish carelessness of
putting a lace pin here, an enamelled or
silvered spray there. ETC., etc. All just as
they for the moment choose, leaving them
selves free to choose the next instant some
other arrangement Brooch wearing, how
ever, has not been forbidden, and in the
midst of all this caprice, a formal shaped
brooch set anywhere on the corsage, Cat
the throat if desired) has look of quaint
prettiness, and often forms good addi-
ton to lighter trifes. Lace-chiefy black
Spanish, is, of course, almost necessity.
The pretty trifes just mentioned are made
to catch something, and something must
be caught. Lace is admirably adapted to
