broidered along the edge, stuck out in
ugly angles over the shoulders. Big
bishop sleeves, with falling red velvet
cuffs, finished it off, and, strange to say,
there are many wraps all too nearly like
this. Some are in changeable velours,
some in plush, some Of matelassee wool
lind others in benjaline cord. All have
fur about them somewhere.
Fur runs riot on all kinds of garments
for outdoors and in. for Young and old.
Sealskin sable and ermine are the most
costly this winter. Mink comes next,
and military and canal capes are made
of it. Capes have distinct Vatican
plaits of fur, which is very splendid in
effect. Sealskin paletots which reach
the feet and try to climb up over the
head are very chic. The collars are cut
out in turret points, which make a be-
coming frame to set pretty face in.
The shape Of paletots is distinctively for
the youthful. A handsome and very
Frenchy surtout cloak for young lady
is made of fine military cloth, and con-
sists Of an undercoat without sleeves and
canal cape lined with red cloth and
bound with military braid, the whole
tailor finished.
For sortie du bal, theater, ETC., long
capes gathered under yoke, fur bor-
dered, are the style. But as they say at
Monte Carlo, everything goes, from
box coats to magnificent ermine lined
mantles, with gold and jeweled clasps.
Astrakhan and Persian lamb canals and
long mantles with short backs arc very
much in vogue.

Mrs. Laytin herself is q pretty little
woman of blond type, with reddish gold
hair and pink and white complexion.
Strange to say, she is not particularly
fond of dress, and often declares that
she buys her immense wardrobe more to
please her husband than for her own
qualification.
Last summer, on her travels to the
different fashionable resorts. Mrs. Lay
tin took with her fifty-seven pieces of
baggage. There were fourteen large
saratogas, as many more skirt trunks. a
dozen hat boxes and many shawl straps.
"How many gowns have T." said Mrs.
Laytin in answer to questioning re-
porter. "Really do not know. bought
forty asw ones this summer. Besides
the gowns have ten pairs of diamond
bracelets, four diamond necklaces, MAN.
moth solitaires for earrings and more
rings than can count"
Mrs. Laytin is one of the few very
dressy women whose purse strings are
always loosened at the call OF charity.
Last summer alone she gave away moro
than thousand dollars in small sums
to various charitable affairs.

She Eas the Largest Wardrobe.

Mrs. William Laytin, who has for the
past five years lived with her husband
at the Murray Hill hotel, New Yorl;
city, enjoys the distinction OF having the
largest wardrobe of any woman in the
world.
Not only has Mrs. Laytin great num-
Der of dresses, but she has also jewelry,
hats, parasols and other appointments
of the toilet in most remarkable and
reckless profusion. All are Of the most
costly, and +he sum total spent yearly in
keeping this immense wardrobe in
proper condition would surprise the wo-
men who are obliged to confine them
selves to half a dozen gowns yearly and
hat or two per season.
