IONS. Millinery
Independent sleeves Of velvet are very
fashionable in new cloaks, and one recent
" selected by Mrs. Orne Wilson (nee As
tori is of cancels hair in lovely floral pat
tern. Maielasse is in great favor for long
cloaks. as also plush and velvet is used
to tome extent. but chiefly in combination
or as an accessory. A new demi long gar
ment is Jacket shaped at the back with
long mantilla ends of matelasse, but by
| far the greater number euyelop the figure
with some effort after novelty in shape,
but no marked departure from last season.
Long cIoaks for ordinary occasions are in
mixed, striped or plaided cloth on the
ulster or Newmarket order and short
wraps are in plain cloth trimmed with
braid or passementerie. They come well
below the waist with longer or shorter
front ends, and similar shapes are shown
in the high class fabrics used for long gar
ments. One of Judge Hilton's daughters
has Just selected a matelasse wrap trimmed
with feathers. Jackets of plain cloth are
very popular and universally tight fitting
in the back. show the fronts either tight
or loose, while many are rendered very
jaunty by contrasting braids and gilt
buttons.
Children's cloaks are Of plain, colored,
mixed, striped or plaided cloth and styl-
ishly trimmed with Astrakhan. The back
slopes inte the figure but fronts are often
loose and sleeves full. Square pocket
flaps on the hips are frequently seen and a
popular garniture is velvet and thick
cords. For rough usage, n~lsters are made
with box plaits i'll the back and double
fronts fastened with large honI buttons,
both confined By Il belt. Refer jackets
are worn by quite small girls and misses
as we'll and are usually made i'll colored
cloth trimmed with braid. Other jackets
fer misses are finished with A~strakhan
and show a more dressy contonr.
Extremely pretty children's dresses seen
at Lord & Taylor's are made in pads on
the bias and showing the fullness drawn
IN SHRED tucks at the neck, plated in
front to a point and gathered TO a velvet
yoke. Brass buttons and velvet ribbons
and bindings are a popular finish. Mixed
cloths or homespuns are in favor for school
wear and fer dances or other dfessy occa-
sions. cashmere, poplin or Bengaiine silk
are trimmed with black velvet ribbon, to
which yellow is the f~ayorite contrast.
Guimpes come in acceptably and the latest
are of nainsook with black velvet ribbon
drawn through rows of Naleneiennes in
sertion.
Wide brimmed hats for children come
with peaked crow rs, but those for young
ladies are all with very low crown and
trimmed extravagantly with long or up
right ribbon loops. Wing feathers or
wings may almost ~encifcle and biackbirds
have stretched out wings and d tail feather
that sometimes darts a foot upwards.
Other birds are net SO fantastic, yet are
posed in varied %contortions or sprawl with
extended feet, while an extreme of fairness
is reached in simulated birds made of
feathers pasted on cloth. They are placed
on wide brims which, t ~ listed as faucifully
as during the summer, afford scope for in
Vulnerable vagaries and marked contrasts
in color. This last feature prevails every
where, a sample toque showing gray,
bright green and heliotrope.
In new costumes shoulder puffs are ex-
tremely high and narrow so as to give no
breadth and it is thoughtextremely stylish
to have them coming in perpetual collision
with the high Medici collar that flares
about the neck, rubs against earrings and
prevents a lady from turning her head.
These Medici collars may come to an end
half way about the throat, quite e~ncircle
or on evening dresses be brought down to
The waist. They are the touch Of touches.
