Cooley Lady's Book
The newest jerseys are made in tail
or style, with as many seams as any
lined basque, and are finished along
the edges with rows of stitching, or
else binding of braid. Their shape
is regular poStillion with mario "
plated back, short sides, and pointed
front, fl hioned with as many darts
and side forms as any other dress
waists. The boucle jersey clota with
rough flash is the newest for these,
and is liked for wearing with wool
skirts, but the smoother wool or silk
elastic ribbed cloths are appropriate
with greater variety of skirts. Very
plain jerseys, well-fitting, and with
out trlmming, are so neat looking,
and are such an excellent substitute
for half-worn dress waists, that they
remain in favor while those more
SLOWLY trimmed are much less used
than formerly.
Short mantles Of sealskla promise
to be the most dressy wraps of the
winter, as they are Of small, close
shapes that outline the shoulders
gracefully, clinging where warmth is
needed, and not concealing the skirts
of handsome costumes. They may
be trimmed with border Of some
other furs, or left untrimmed as
fancy dictates. Sacques are the most
useful and likely to remain longest in
fashion, so they are by no means dis
carded. The newest sacques are cat
longer, and are made fuller in the
skirt to give room for a bouffante-
tournure. Short and iaunty jackets
of sealskin are worn by young ladies
and misses; they are made single
breasted with a understanding mill
tary collar, unless rolling collar is
preferred. Some of these are straight
around the hips, but the French fancy
is for having the back quite short and
in tull plaits below the waist line,
while the fronts are much longer and
pointed.
All the shapes described for sealskin
are made up in brocaded velvet, frise
velvet, corded silk, plush or camels
hair, and trimmed with borders and
fnnges of fur that vary in width &C
cording to the size of the garment.
A set of furs to be worn with any
wrap not trimmed with fur now con
sists of small collarete with square
tabs in front reaching only half way
to the waist, and small round muff,
curved slightly, and called the Ores
cent mutf; this new muH is very
light and made up softly, so that
young ladies ornament it by passing
a ribbon Ito match the Dress through
it, and tying it in a large bow on top.
The long chasuble collar with deep
fronts like a mantilla is worn with a
flat muf permanently attached to
it at the waist line.
NEW WRAPS.
An American authority cites the
ichu as a novelty, and says that it is
more graceful than the pelerine, hav-
ing deep back and tabs finished with
frin6e of tiny balls of fur On seal
ichus this fringe has a fishers net
heading OF brown silk, and then the
balls come below this, but on those of
astrackan and Persian lamb the balls
simply depend from the edge of the
wrap.
Distinguishing names are given to
many of the fur garments, both those
in domestic and foreign designs, as in
the Whippin CHAM, jaunty little
coat of Persian lamb, with vest and
sleeves of Alaskan sable. This jacket
is becoming If the figure of the wearer
is good.
The Cybele visite is a stylish, semi
fitting mantle of seal, trimmed with
black martin. 1t has deep ends IN
front, which gave a most graceful APP
pearance. The Rosalind is a mantel
cite, with rather short fronts and dol
man sleeves. IL has a deep curve in
the back aud needs full tournure to
show it to the best advantage.
"L'Archiduc' is the name given to
wrap with a short back, where there
are no plaits, but instead il is slashed
to the waist so that the tournure is
not confined in the least. The fronts
are longer than on wrap, there
fore the beautiful trimmings,
which is three-quarters plucked,
shows to good advantage, as it out
lines the wrap and encircles the neck.
a similar shape in seal is trimmed
with blue fox, the lovely creamy gray
fur that makes the seal look deeper
and richer and the complexion clearer.
