Women's Cloaks and Jackets.
A new material for rich cloaks is
made of satin embroidered in small de-
signs like those of mate]asse silks, inter-
lined with wadding, and made with
double face: these are black, brown or
green on the outside, and the inside is
of a gray colored satin, either cherry,
pale blue, pearl gray, white, or dahlia
red. They are made in the long straight
shapes that cover the figure from head
to foot, have ample fullness for large
tournoure pleated in the middle seams
of the back and half square Of flowing
sleeves. The trimming is chenille fringe,
or lace that resembles embroidery, or
else wide. bands of fur. Plain black velvet
is now used for similar cloaks and is
richly trimmed with large passamenterie
cred laces, and chenille. Black fur of
long fleece is very effective trimming
for the red and golden brown velvet
mantles that are meant for carriage use.
Evening wraps of white satin with COL
ored applique figures all over them, are
the novelty in such garments. For USE
iul jackets, that cost from ia to $50 each,
stockinet cloth is used with Jersey web
bling on the surface and thick warm
fleece on the wrong side. To some OF
these are added q separate pointed
hood Of the fish, scale plush now used for
trimming and this hood is tied on with
cord and tassels; there are also cults OF
the plush to mat h. Such jackets lap an
inch and a half in front and have two
rows of buttons. The close high officers
collar is trimmed with braid or embroid-
cry, the pocket shows merely bound
Sits with an arrow head at each end,
and the whole garment has tailor like
finish. The back has pleats variously
arranged below the waist, and the length
Of the garment is about 80 inches. En-.
broidery done on the garment trims
some OF these jackets, appearing on the
Breton vest collar, sleeves, and as a
border; braid, however, is more effect
i've trimming .or heavy cloths and is
used in straight parallel rows very near
together. Eight rows of 1nohair braid
third of an inch vide, placed with the
edges nearly touching, make an mex
pensive and effective border that is cas-.
lily put on. These jackets are shown in
dark brown, garnet, blue. green and
black cloths.
