Coats and cloaks for children are made
of all sorts of material, from corduroy to
silk, ranging through all of the woods. One
coat for a young girl that was much ad-
mired was of terra Gotta cloth lined with
black pongee and bordered with very mar
row bands of black astrakhan. It had a
rundown wide ripple collar and large bish-
op sleeves with narrow cuffs. 1t vas loose
in front and half fitting in the back. There
is a new cloaking material for children's
k%nockabout coats. It lies in deep ridges Of
a wooden surface, like chenille, and is a
mixture of c%olors, gray or brown always
predominating. 1t makes thick but light
and pliable coats and very durable ones.
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
a 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
fues, and this trimming extended down
the front to the bottom. On the shoulders
there was a wide plated cape of the richest
black MORE antique, headed by a turnover
collar of black velvet and bordered by the
ostrich feathers. 1t was lined on the in
side with black taffeta. Nothing richer for
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 l%engthwise. All
around it was a band of black velvet, head
ed by a band of Persian gold braid. The
pointed ripple cape was of black velvet,
lined with old gold satin. There We're two
very wide revers, sharply pointed, made of
black MORE, set high in front. Around the
neck was a band of fluffy yellowish fur.
A handsome imported evening wrap was
of blue and cream brocade, and it reached
nearly to the knees. The wrap closed 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.
I noticed among the wraps intended for
less ceremonious requirements a lot of short
triple capes of drab kersey, the edges cut by
a knife. These fasten by means of a thick
cord around the neck and a slide to drawit
close, or allow the cape to hang partly open.
They are simple, but pretty, and feel sure
that many will be worn. There are also
many short wraps made like fichus. These
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 a large number of wraps in
the form of mantles and mantelets of diff
ferent material, some of them of cash
mere, with knotted fringe, buttonball trim
ming and lace frills. The fronts of these
are long and the backs short.
I have seen two or three made with sling
sleeves. I hope they will not obtain favor,
as they hold the arms at such an angle as
to greatly fatigue the back. They were in
vogue with bustles, and as bustles begin to
b worn now they may be thought favor
