cordeon plated chiffon falls over the
shoulders and are fastened with long
sashes OF chiffon ending In knots OF the
same. This arrangement may DO sep
arate from the cloak or il may be part
Of it and the hood thrown back forms
an extremely becoming capichin over
the shoulders, with the pleated pele
rines. This in lilac gauZe on q dark
mauve cloth or silk cloak would make
charming opera cloak for young girl,
or all in white ii would be very dainty.
Many young girls prefer loose, long
cloaks for evening wraps. l have seen
one or two made with front and back
with Vatican pleats in the back and
broad peats in front. The sleeves are
enormous and gather in at the waist. In
white brocade lined with color and
band of fur across the yoke, and on the
collar they have decided cachet, and
after dancing they are very practical
garments.
A handsome cape suitable for the
opera or visiting is half long of cloth
with q cape, which is fitted over the
shoulder, but flares out very bias and
full around the edge, made OF velvet
deliberately embroidered. The high
Medicis collar Is edged with fur, which
extends around the entire velvet cape,
while the longer under cloak is I'M
trimmed, but lined with n rich brocade.
The original model OF this cloak WAS
made OF q peculiar dull green cloth,
lined with pink brocade, with the vel
vet cape of dark dahila colored velvet
embroidered with silk and gold, but it
can be made in brown or two tones or OF
black for plain wear.
JUST LIKE \ PILLOW CASE.
II is fact that those loose sacques
are to be worn for coats this spring-and
what guys our stylish New York
girls" will look as they walk the streets
attired in garment cut precisely like
pillow case in front and back. I watched
young woman in a shop few days
ago, trying to make up her mind to pur-
chase one of these novelties OF the sea-
son. She tried IL on, and she turned
herself about before the long Psyche
glass, and her expression was droll when
she saw herself In the shapeless gar
ment, which concealed every line OF her
figure, and which the shop clerk as
sured her was 1.-THE very newest thing
in coats"-which it may be, but we could
have done without the latest fashion
this time. left he trying TO decide be-
tween personal vanity and the latest
novelty.
There are no seams In these coats ex-
cept under the arms; the front and back
are equally straight and untitled. If we
could get some sort of break under the
arm at the waist to suggest human
figure underneath we might call them
simply awkward and endure them, but
the shape they are at present is clumsy
and senseess. The fact that our moth
ers wore them just like this thirty years
ago does not make them beautiful. They
are very suitable for driving coats but
not for walking.
Nearly all the new spring coats are OF
light tan or ivory cloth Of fine and beau
tiful texture. The collars are stitched
or are covered wi th velvet OF the same
shade as the coat. The buttons are very
large, white or smoked pearl All the
coats are long. The double-breasted,
loose front, with large white buttons,
revers collars, fitted back with lap seam,
VIII probably be the most worn.
NOVELTIES IN COATS.
There are novelties in coats, some OF
which are very pretty. For visiting, a
handsome coat is made OF figured cloth
of peculiar design, closely fitted like
a long jacket, reaching almost to the
knees. From the shoulders in the back
hangs loose, full cape OF velvet, the
tone Of the coat, and reaching TO the
same length. This cape Stimulates the
cavaliers cloak seen often oil the stage,
and is bordered with a handsome en-
broijery all around and richly lined.
The full sleeves are OF velvet also and
are so long that they almost conceal the
hand with the pointed cuff. The out
side OF the sleeve is embroidered like
the cape. A high Medicis collar Of en-
broidered velvet lined with feathers,
and extending low in front to form q
trimming on the jacket, completes q
rather effective garment.
