QUE Henri Deux cape, whose long,
! Straight folds are a target for Boreas.
The trim wrap first mentioned, while iG
enables the wearer to presents seasonable
appearance, also allows the display OF the
handsome gown beneath from the waist
down. But it should not be forgotten
that serious colds are as re4dily contract
ed through All exposure of the arms to
the wintry blast rs through the chest. A
chill up the arms will reach he lungs in
as short a space of time as by exposure of
an improperly wrapped throat n chest.
Very handsome evening capes of black

are lined with ecru satin brocade, and the
high velvet collar is lined TO match, and
covered on the outside with the lace.
AT the extreme edge is fluffy roll of
black ostrich tips. Cream-whlte cloth
capes are made and lined IN the same
fashion. with a roll of cream white mar
about on the edge of the collar.
DRIVING COATS.
The latest driving coat for a women is
a very near relative to q mans single
breasted, r~ace-going Newmarket. II is
made of light covert coat material, and
is long enough to reach to the hem OF the
gown. The front of the coat, if built by
a first rate tailor, Is cut all in one. The
back and side seams are strapped. There
is a velvet collar, showing a tiny edge of
cloth. Tne pockets are put in sIanGwise.
The sleeves are u little looser and fuller
on the shoulder than men would like
them. and that is the only difference in
the woman's coat. This neat and BUSH
nessllke garment may be lined with Tat
tersaIl cloth, but If its wearer goes i'll for
tandem or team driving. this would
probably prove too heavy. as handling
'the lines" in either of these cases is
warm work.
FUR GARMENTS.
The fur coat Of the season has never
been SO elaborate or expensive as it is
now Sealskin has nearly doubled in
value, and as If this was not enough. all
sorts of fancy frills are added.
There are coats that come to the feet,
and wraps ditto, but the box coat of seal
skin In the half long mantle are oftener
seen. OAe edd u not altogether pretty
fashion is to have the collar arranged IN
such a way as to resemble wide ostrich
tips and the edges s~calIoped. 1t is really
becoming, however.
One of the prettiest wraps of this sea-
son Is of black astrakhan laid in plaits.
and with a high scalloped collar. Little
pockets are placed in each side OF the
lining for holding the purse, etc. The
only objection TO these is that wearing
fur against tue hair is very injurious to
the hair.
RUSSIAN ovERcoAT.
A Russian paletot or overcoat may be
made OF brocade and surah trimmed with
fur. A pretty garment is composed of
green n dark brown fabrics. aud fin-

fox fur. The trout is closed with hooks
ranged in folds with dark brown faille-
ottoman on a proper lining, and closed
by high, brocade fastenings at the
sleeves. The girdle is formed from folds
of the material, and is closed under a
large clasp, which. If 1t is desired that
the toilet should be rich. is made of old
silver. and set with different sorts of
precious stones.
For an inexpensive wrap. for evening
wear, cashmere lined with quilted satin,
and trimmed with swansdown is effec-
tive. The shoulder-piece may he outlined
with fancy gold gimp or a combination of
tinsel, gimp and beads. Two widths of
Cashmere. or two and q half yards will
make a cape, with three and a half yards
of quilting aud half a yard of sarcenet or
satin of the same color to line the should
err piece. Where the material is limp,
double muslin should be placed between
b lining aud material of tue shaped
shoulder piece for stiffening.
