NEW WRAPS.
Neat Cloth and Jersey Jackets and Styl-
ish Long Cloaks.


Bright red jackets will be specially
popular with young ladies, but let those
of mature years be warned against
them, as they are too conspicuous for
any but youthful faces. A red cloth
house jacket can be worn by a matron
with perfect propriety, if becoming. A
handsome model seen at a leading
house is of red cloth, cut short over the
hips with pointed front, and trimmed
with black braid edged with small beads.
1t is cut position back and the buttons
are of jet.
A red diagonal cloth jacket for street
wear is close fitting, buttoned on the
bias with large buttons, and bound all
around with black braid. Another
style in red broad cloth is trimmed with
black velvet and small black buttons.
There is a variety in these red jackets,
all seem to be cut about the same, but
the manner of trimming gives differ
emf effect to the garment.
A lovely-shaped coat in red, over
which is a network in black boucle, is
made with the top double-breasted cut
away showing the vest at the lower
part of the waist. This is also bound
with braid and trimmed with handsome
buttons. These effects are shown in
browns, tans, navy blue and black.
This same material is also cut in jaUnty
coat shapes, singlc-breasted and with
vests. These are very pretty worn over
any kind of a dress, and quite effective
over black silk. The sleeves are lined
with satin, which helps the adjusting Of
the garment considerably
A large assortment in tailor-made
jackets is introduced in Jersey cloth, in
brown, blue and black. Some of these
are finished with broad braid and hand
some buttons, which give to the gar
ment very dressY appearance. This
style forms a very useful garment that
can be worn with any dress, A little
gem is in heavy ribbed cloth in pale
tan shade, the back cut in most per-
fectly curved seams, without any orna-
mcntation, the front in rolled collar
style worn by gentlemen in spring over
coats. The collar and fronts are faced
with silk, the latter turned back to
show handsome plated silk vest. The
coat is bound around with narrow silk
braid, and small buttons trim the
sleeves.

cloth is made getaway, with collar and
lapels faced with green velvet. Cuffs
are also ornamented with green velvet.

silk, In the cloak department of GER

summer cloaks. One of these is in
black thin cloth, lined throughout with

cape is formed in the front with jet
trimming, with large bow of ribbon
and jet ornament finish the back. The
large barrel sleeves are trimmed with
lace and jet. This is very dressy gar
ment, and is not costly.

tight fitting, finished with two pointed
tabs, one of velvet, same shade of the
