the wrinkled pslrs Were ROT trim enough
to suit many figures. The new basquea
have . sort of ripple rufie all around, cut
with thew waist or sewed on. One atyle has
the upper part Of black srosgrain, with
strips of bias velvet and IN pale pink,
brown and green reps. Buttons Of bronze
metal are sewed on both edges Of these
bands Of velvet. The sleeves have four
rippfes Of silk and velvet, two of each, and
q double cuff at the bottom. There are
two ripples at the waist line-the lower OF
velvet and the upper Of the ~grosgrain. The
basque buttons OF the left side.
Another of these has the basque Of bro
caded silk, brown and rush green, with
hints of pink and yellow in it. The waist
lines are cut so as to give the proper full
ness, and in the back it sets up with full
ripple effect. There Is a vest front of pale
nasturtium seed green, and there are rush
green velvet breteiles set on in such a way
as to show pieceof the brocade like a head
ing. The bretelles are fastened under
bronze buttons. The sleeves are pulled
with two falls of velvet, lined with green,
as is the velvet. These basques are to be
worn with any skirt with which the colors
will blend or hRrmcnize. Many other
basques are made by adding lrippies or ruff
fes of the same goods or Of others where
such can be added. For thin material
knife plated rufies IAN be set under the
edge of the belt, or if 1t is a waist without
d belt the edge of the waist should be
piped.
The new carriage wraps bid fair to be
the richest ever seen and are marvels OF
good taste and superb material. One re-
ranflu f1niahad fNN nra ~ r,1 social c%nr~ g..
OF black satin duchess of the most elegant
quality. 1t is cut with square tabs, each IL
inches wide, that reach to the knees, where
it is finished with a heavy jet fringe. On the
tabs are embroidered gold wheat heads twice
the natural size, with green chenille leaves.
The yoke is of fine bourbon lace, edged
with the same kind Of jet fringe as that on
the bottom. On each shoulder a deep fall
of lace partly hides the fun cape of satin,
which is also embroidered with wheat
ears. The mantle is lined with gold colored
satin.
Another magnificent cloak or carriage
wrap is of mode colored broadcloth of the
heaviest quality. 1t is cut loose princess In
the back, slit up half the length like an in
verted V, and there are Sits on each side.
Around all these is a continuous band OF
seal brown plush, worked In a neat pattern
of gold braid and gold beads. The sleeves
were immense and had deep falls, which
were lined with plush. The collar is a rip
pie of plush lined with satin and trimmed
like the other parts. Around the wrists
are bands Of plush worked chain fashion
with the gold braid. The whole garment
is lined with maize colored satin.
I saw an odd costume recently at one OF
the openings. 1t was a dress of black chev.
lot tailor finished on the skirt, and with no
trimmings but three rows of stitching.
The basque was full in the skirt, which
reached nearly to the knee. The irost had
wide revers and aripple COLLAR OF the same
lined with white satin Of a yellow tinge.
The vest front and standing collar were
made of baby alligator skin, and SO were
the cuffs that turned upward like gaunt-
lets to the gigot sleeves. The skin wasyel-
low. The effect wa very odd. but it was
not at all unpleasant. Two or three other
have had reyers, vests or belts of
