deeply embroidered with gold colored
threads set with green and coppery span
giles Above this was deep cape of light
brown velvet embroidered in the same man
ner, though not quite so deep. Around the
edges of each was n narrow band of fur
There were deep sleeves cut bell shape and
trimmed in the same way. There was Il
deep collar of prune velvet. Altogether it
was brilliant affair, yet it did not look
gaudy or overturned
a very elegant garment is a redingote o.
dark blue cloth reaching from head to foot
There are queer looking sleeves that have
bertha caps bound with fur and trimm cd
with a succession of beads on black strings,
much like counters for billiards. A curl
Gus arrangement of velvet gives the collar
the appearance of having wings set in
Down the sides are two wide bands of navy
B. blue velvet and between them is a hand
some embroidered pattern. In the back
there is deep vatican plat. 1t complete
ly covers the gown beneath.
For ball or opera cloak | was shown a
perfect beauty 1t was of emerald green
velvet of the richest quality, made in mill
tary shape. On the shoulders there was
deep gold and black chenille fringe, and
deeper one extended from the neck to be-
low the knees in front. Around the neck
was a ruffled collar of the velvet, which
formed jabot plaits down the front, and
every edge was bound with beautiful white
swans down.
For a stylish suit costume there was a
tan colored skirt, bound with a deep fold
of havana brown cloth, surmounted by n
narrow fur band. The coat was a sack
much in the style of a boXcoat, but it had
one seam in the back slightly fitting it to
the figure. Around the bottom of this
there was a border 10 inches deep of brown
fur. The coat was havana brown. 1t was
double breasted and had wide revers COW
cred with the fur, and these, with the collar,
were laid fiat, forming a V shaped opening
This was filled in effectively with a cherry
satin front. The sleeves were plain gicot
This made a distinguished costume. The
coat was thickly wadded and lined with
brown satin.
a handsome visiting coat for young
lady came under my vision next. 1t was
of dark red cloth with a heavy passemente-
RE black and gold on the waist, covering
it all the way round like a corselet. Above
this was a plain sprung collar, bordered
with bear fur. The sleeves were also
trimmed with the passementerie. The
skirt was of medium length and very full
and trimmed with the same fur all around
by a band inches wide, which is a mode OF
trimming not hitherto seen. There is a
plain band of fur around the neck instead
of a storm collar Altogether this was a
superb coat of this style, quite dressy
enough for teas and calling, when ladies
like to look their best, as they know they
are coming under the range of the eyes of
their dearest foes.
A jaunty and at the same time very re-
fined coat wan made of hunters green
melton cloth, braided in neat pattern
with black soutache. The high collar was
braided on the outside and inside both, so
that the braidiug would show whether the
collar was up or down. 1t was borIlered
with a narrow roll of MORE astrahhan
The pockets were trimmed in similar
manner, and so were the deep cuffs tt the
bishop sleeves. In the back there wan one
deep box plat with row of the bratding
reaching nearly to the bottom. This was
lined throughout with that soft, warm,
velyety material that is put in the pockets
