up the middle. on the collar. and on
the pocket flaps. With this is worn q
Louis Quatorze coat Of exquisitely fine
black wool. adjusted closely to the fig
ure in the back. but looser and longer
in front, trimmed simply with long
revers collar of black moire. turned
over deep in the back, and extending
the whole length of the fronts without
a notch or break. The under-arm
seams of the waistcoat have invisible
loops to join it to the coat. but the
fronts of the coat are meant to fall
open and display the embroidery in its
exquisite Vatican coloring. Much
simpler jackets of camels-hair and of
pliable cloths with zigzag woven lines
are in Suede. green. gray or copper
| shades. made with a white camel s-hair
vest finely corded all over with gilt
and steel; still others are closed and
| single-breasted, with gilt cording in a
slender pattern all along their edges,
and pretty corner designs of the gilt
cord wrought in front.
Very dressy mantles combine col
ored cancels hair and black lacc.-in-
deed it is Partisan caprice to use
black lace in combination with various
kinds of wool. For instance. apple
green camePs hair covered with black
net that is finely dotted with gilt
beads forms the sides to short mantlcs
that have V-shaped fronts and backs
almost covered with fine cording Of
gold; cOpper-colored woods are used in
the same way. Changeable silks are
also made up under black Chantilly
net for mantles, rose with green. or
or brown changeable with bright yell
low. producing a pretty effect under
the transparent lace. The sides of such
mantles are of plated lace without the
silk dropping over the arms to the
elbows. Bretelle NANTES are the new
small designs for completing any sum-
mer toilette. and are made of little
black net with bretelles, Il belt and coll
lar OF black MORE ribbon four or five
inches wide or else of eros grain rib
bon with watered stripes or satin
edge. These have piece lace gathered
or plated in V shape from neck and
shoulders to waist line in front and
back. then spreading out below the
waist in full fan-basque shape. The
ribbon bretelles edge these V-shaped
capes; they are tied in knot or bow
with many dropping loops on the
shoulders. and are then 'oldeI to taper
to the waist line in front and back,
where they meet ribbon belt. The
ribbon-striped nets and jetted nets are
also used for such capes. Still others
have the arms covered by plated lace
falling to the elbows. and straight
strands or else looped strings of large
jet beads fall on these arm-pieces of
lace.
Belted waists are the novelty on
the coats and cloaks of Suede-colored
or copper-tinted woods woven in wide
diagonals. The belt is of embroidered
galloon. and the same galloon edges
the Tapped front of the waist, also the
collar and cuffs. On tightly-ftted
long coats the embroidery extends
Pathway up the waist in inverted V
shape. and the collar of embroidery
descends almost too meet it. Long
silk cloaks for driving wraps are light,
and protect the costume from dust, as
they envelop the wearer. They are
made of brown. dark blue or gray
striped silks of light quality. pleated
10 high collar. or to yoke in the
fashion of Irish cloaks, yet they have a
separate front, like that of the Russian
circular. over which the arms pass,
yet are still covered by the full sides;
belt or girdle of passementerie holds
the back in place. then disappears
under the sides and crosses the sep
arate inner front.-RarDer's Bazaar.
