Street jackets are made very long
often reaching to the knees and the
same is true regarding the single capes
which having been so successful last
summer, are now repeated in heavier
goods snch As thick cloth. plush or bro

with yokcs studded in nail heats that
are seen occasionally also around the
edges ~ upright. graduated rows.

idea OF one garment above another is
prevalent. Jackets over blouse waists

NEW SKIRTS
are made with five breadths somewhat
gathered in front and very full at the
back; others are in one piece made
crosswise of the goods and having
therefore only one seam at the back a

who desire it can still patronize the

NARROW TRIMMINGS
that outline seams on either sknts or
corsages, are in espe :ial favor. Now
and again mere piping suffices. but
passementerie. a single row of braid
or narrow baud of fur. usually astr.k-
han, is in great demand. Trimmings
on the bottom of skirts are of course
wider and are quite as much employed
as hitherto. Each day likewise. but
tons become more employed i'll orna-
mentauon. On skirts, they apparent-
ly hold slashings in position aud on
corsages, are placed III rows. Spanges
however are more dislnciively new
than any other garniture and are seen
with great effectiveness on guimpes Of
plain material. Panels, cuffs or collars
are also made glittering by them and
as the winter advances they will in
crease in popularity.
