The elegant evening and visiting wraps
are exceedingly handsome, and they differ
but slightly from those worn last fall One
imported wrap was made of black, thick
ribbed russian silk. The cape was laid in
few shallow plaits from the neck just
enough to give it the requisite fullness
around the bottom. The high collar was
of black velvet, bordered with black ostrich
hues, and this trimming extended down
the front to the bottom. On the shoulders
there was wide plated cape OF the richest
black MORE antique, headed by turnover
collar of black velvet and bordered by the
ostrich feathers. 1t was lined on the in.
side with black taffeta. Nothing richer fol
a visiting wrap could be imagined, unless
it was covered with embroidery. This wrap
is one of the few that could be made at
home, as the effect is all produced by sim.
pie means.
Another very stylish visiting cape was
of black faille, made up on the cross Of the
silk so that the ribs run lengthwise. All
around it was a band of black velvet, head.
ed by band of Persian gold braid. The
pointed ripple cape was of black velvet,
lined with old gold satin. There were two
very wide revers, sharply pointed, made of
black MORE, set high in front. Around the
neck was band of fluffy yellowisb fur.
A handsome imported evening wrap was
of blue and cream brocade, and it reached
nearly to the knees The wrap clos d in
front under clasps made of pearl beads and
had no other trimming There were open
ings for the hands, bordered with gray coon
down. The Worth collar was of enamel
blue velvet, bordered with the same downy
fur The collar was sprung, and the whole
was lined with pale blue quilted satin
noticed among the wraps intended fol
less ceremonious requirements a lot of short
triple capes of drab kersey, the edges cut by
knife. These fasten by means of thick
cord around the neck and a slide to draw il
close, or allow the cape to hang partly open
| They are simple, but pretty, and feel SURE
that many will be worn. There are alsC
many short wraps made like fichus. Thes'
are of grosgrain or taffeta and are not in
tended as much for use as ornament. They
will scarcely be worn much before May
| There are also large number of wraps il
