For tbs time being ali dressmakers,
even the greatest, are in a state of I'M
certainty, not knowing which OF their
designs will find favor and which be
rejected by prospective wearers.
Large round cloaks, very long, are
among the new autumn wraps. These
have velvet yoke, and are many
OF them of shaggy stufTs, rough-look-
ing, though exceedingly soft to the
touch. The shape is more convenient
than graceful. Other long cloaks.
adjusted to the form, with n cape
dropping to the waist, are quite as
convenient to wear, and more agree
able to the sight. The Russian
cloaks, are in indistinct stripes, fine
checks and waterproof cloths. Long
cloaks worn with visiting toilettes by
middle-aged and old ladies are adjust
ed in the back, and either half-ftting
or close-ftting at the front;
the former for stout figures,
the latter for those which
have preserved their slenderness.

used for these handsome cioaiSs, wiz.
a narrow edging OF fur and a deep
collar and cuffs of the same fur
Among the prettiest of the short or
half-short wrappings is a rather long
jacket OF dark cloth, which opens on
square velvet vest. The vest Is
belted in by a half-belt coming from
the sides, the belt being in many cases
OF leather with gold or gilded buckle. |
This jacket may be accompanied by |

There are numbers of short wraps |
of various kinds, which belong to |
handsome visiting costumes, but |
which, when the weather grows severe,
will be supplemented by a long cloak |
that viii be taken OFF before entering
the drawing-room. One odd little |
cape is OF dark-colored velvet, notched
at the lower edge, the points barely I
reaching the elbow; it has high |
collar, from which droop tabs Of rep
ped silk at even intervals on the
velvet between the points; the velvet
between the tabs is embroidered, and
each velvet point is finished with
long tassel. Similar capes for young
girls are made more simply of cloth
and silk without embroidery. Many
OF the long and short wraps are made
OF the short-piled plush called velours
du Nord, which is growing in favor,
and for wraps is preferred to the
with simple dresses long jackets or
coats are worn, sometimes extending
to the knee, OF cloth of thecolor of the
dress, or OF a rough woollen for gener-
al wear with lighter weight woollen
dresses. The long round capes which
have been so popular are still worn
to some extent, but the shape is now
used chiefly for evening or theatre
wraps. Thus there are long capes of
red cloth or in light tints, trimmed \
with ecrn guipure. The red capes are
rather striking and eccentric. Some |,
of the handsome black silk redingote
cloaks have revers OF lace, and 8. scarf
OF black lace coming from under the I
arms and forming a sort OF corselet 1
then knotted at front, with long (
dropping ends. I,
