CLOAKs.

CLOAKs.
We cannot let it go-the fur-lined circu-
lar; the ideal of winter covering for com
fort and convenience Nor can the elegance
Of the long cloak, the jauntiness of the
short dolman, or the girlish possibilities Of
the jacket be improved upon, One and all
We have them, so nearly like last winters
that last winters will answer every purpose.
Numbers Of rich coaks and combination
costumes as we'll indeed, are being made
up OF broche Nonparei velveteen. Intro
duced last season, it has proved a great
success, not only from Its handsome appear
ance but from the fact that the figures are
woven, not stamped, and therefore very
lasting, since stamped patterns look COM
mon, and soon get into ridges. The ex-
traordinary demand for velvet has given
impetus to the supplying Of a substitutes,
and this year many jackets and costumes
are made Of "Bavenon velveteen, which
from its thickness of surface, closeness and
depth Of pile and purity ofcolor is mistaken
for Geneva velvet. Lively suits for children
are composed of it, and Juveniles and ma.
mas have choice among all the new shades

PLACE FOR EVERYTHING
The fashionableness of gray leads me to
give word of caution on that subject 1t
is II color which should be prohibited ex.
cept to the chosen few who have exception
ally good compilations, and yet it is one
that bad-complexioned people are particu
lariy fond Of wearing The forlorn looking
are made ten times more forlorn; the WON
looking ten times more worn. This, doubt
less, is from a fear Of being too gay. One
need net TO be gay, but one can refrain from
being fright, and what need of that when
there is deep brown, green, blue and the
like, if one does not wish black2 These
colors are quite enough, while at the same
time handsome and full of safety as gray is
of peril. If | were giving advice to Mis-
Langtry should by all means recommend
gray 1t would make her exquisite com
plexion still more exquisite, and she does
well to show off her complexion for 1t is her
special charm. How much it is worth q
bit OF gossip goes to show, inasmuch as we
are told that the famous English toile,

WINGS.
One needs but glance to notice wings
in millinery. Set about IN all sorts of WAYS
and combinations which stylish millners
have made the right ways. They stand
stiff and upright like the palings of fence
are placed fatty and in succession like
bands, or peer up singly. Others are
grouped from centre with the look of a
great prckly pompon, and small birds
with widespread pinions do the same. Sin.
gle feathers too sometimes gilded) are set
Id ounches or even solitary large one &C.
cas'onaIly reminds us of the goose quill of
former days. The mixture of wings, birds
etc, with ostrich plumsgo is moreover
novel feature of the season, and ottentmes
towering wove of ostrich feathers mods
above recumbent songster, or saucy
wing looks out from the midst of equally
refined surroundings. 1t is on poke bon.
nets, however, or hats, that most of these
eccentrcities fud room, since capotes are
too small to allow needful scope. Wings
are especially suited to very

mannishness and become distinguished

and perfectly straight around; the crown

one side a wing, pompon or bunch of tips.
