New YORK, November 2S.-Quality
and not quantity is the leading charac-
teristic Of stylish envening hats-a jet
or velvet bandeau, with three or four
rosettes and cluster Of aigrettes, IS
charming combination of elegant tritles,
well fitted to grace almost any evening
entertainment A moderately full frill
of Point de Paris" lace may be used as
a substitute for a bandeau, with a wide
pearl trimming above, and q very large
gilt braid rosette at the front, sur
mounted by a gilt aud pearl
aigrette, an elegant finish. Many
evening hats are without crowns,
the hair being arranged high, and for
young people strings are an optional
matter. Tiny three-cornered jet or gilt
hats, with twists or rosettes Of colored
miroir velvet, are extremely coquettish,
and sometimes a short velvet ribbon
bow and ends are attached, just long
enough to pass under the Psyche knot.
A beautiful round hat for young ma
tron has broad white lace edge, with
six velvet roses sha0ing from light pink
to crimson, placed around somewhat
high green velvet cap crown. Narrow
green velvet ribbon bows at the back,
velvet strings, and two large Jet pins
crossing at the front complete the en-
semble,

or white and gilt brocaded silk, are
especially adapted for opera or balls,

cloak has rows of tinsel braid almost
touching on a rich silk foundation,
with wide, open sleeves, edged with
Russian sable and lined with crimson
brOcade. Coming within q modest ex-
penditure, are cloaks of ladies' cloth,
10 all evening shades with many
frilled adjustable cape hemmed with
fur, possessing the advantage Of being
refined and unobtrusive, ifnot conspicn-
ouslY handsome. Black velvet capes
trimmed with ermine present very dis
tingue appearance, 10 harmony with
the popular fancy OF black and white.
EVERYBODY WILL WEAR FURs

cloaks or hats are edged with beaver,
and street, house or evening dresses

ing a round collar and revers in one
piece, are equally attractive; both

Hudson Bay otter, seal, Parsian lamb
or mink. Circular capes varying from
twenty to forty-Six inches In length,
with esctrata fullness at the back,
possess such manifest advantages in
these days Of immence sleeves, that ex-
IRENE favor may be prediceed for them;
not however to the exclusion OF close
fitting styles. a very handsome Hud-
