in various Widths of silk braid, trimmed
with fringes and fur. A very choice
garment is a serpent plush, heavily
embroidered in shaded silks, the edge
finished in small points, buttonhole

trich feathers. The lining is self-col-
ored satin. A very handsome black
plush is embroidered in grapevine

in raised work. A stylish long cloak
is in shaded green and red camel's hair
lined throughout with green satin.
A straight cape, gathered around the
shoulders, is faced upon the outside
with satin. The sleeves are bordered
with Alaska sable, and boa to match
is secured about the neck.
A very elegant large cloak in dark
green plush is trimmed on each side of
the open back, around the neck and
down each side of the front with boas
of cocks plumes of very fine quality.
Over full sleeves Of the plush are long
outside sleeves of black passamenterie
in very choice pattern. The garment
is lined with black peau de sole strewn
with vines of flowers in natural colors.
Another handsome new model at a
most moderate price, is in rich dark
co!ors in Persian cloth, combined with
black velvet. Upon this garment are
beautiful cord trimmings with novel Or
naments to match all the tints in the
cloth. The shape is unique; while the
style of the cloak is elegant the price
is remarkably low.
