4 plain skirt OF rich( faille was sur
rounded by three rows OF two-inch vel
vet, narrow. straight tablisr o. bro.
cade forming the front, an the back oil
the same was draped in full ponls,
thence falling in straight folds. The
tabier and the back were fastened TO-
gelher by bands of velvet like that on
the skirt, quite up to the waist the
bands kept in place by being attached
to portions OF the skirt. The bodice
formed short, round point ut the
back, and sharp-poiuted one in front.
The brocade reached to each side OF the
front only, the space left being OF faille
banded across by velvet. A velvet
shoulder cape, open in front with tx,
finished with velvet bands, completed
| the costume. This style could be ad-
yantageously copied in less expensive
| materials.
During the mild days, with the
| chamois under vest, shoulder-capes OF
fur, otter plush, velvet brocadc, nnd
velvet, have boen considered sufficient
co ering for outdoor wear. All the
newest of these worn by well-dressed
women are devoid of the unsightly
humps on the shoulders which are now
considered quite a thing of the past as
far as fashion is concerned. These
shoulders capes and small pelerines'
have lost none of their popularity; on
the contrary, they are more than ever
in vogue abroad, forming an addition
to almost every stylish promenade
costume; some Of them having the old
fashioned ''stole" fronts, a style GER
tain to obtain much fashionable favor
in many var cites of the coming sea-
sons mantclets and pelerines, and be-
coming to many figures for which the
plain round cape is unsuitable.
