WHAT SHE WEARS,
FRAYED-OUT WINTER GOWNS MUST
BE COVERED.
A VERY USEFUL COAT.
Good for Warm or Cold Weather.
Hints for the Coming Season,
Much Lace VIII He Worn.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-A very useful gar.
ment for this time of year. when best WIN
ter frocks have lost a good deal of their first
freshness, is a long cloak for Wis ing and
outdoor wear. which entirely covers the
dress over which it Is worm If these are
smartly made they form very elegant and
becoming wraps, but materials of good quail
tty only should be used for them, whether
silk or cloth be chosen for the purpose.
Our sketch shows charming model suit
able for the present season. It Is made Of
mouse-colored faced cloth, with revers and
cuffs of moss-green velvet, which are al
most entirely covered with thick guipure
lace Of deep ecru color. The vest and
collar are of Chine silk, and two handsome
fancy buttons appear just below the revers
In front. This graceful cloak does not fit
in to the waist at the back, but it hangs
slightly away from the figure, from under
square yoke of green velvet and lace which
Is continuation of the revers in front.
This style of wrap is exceedingly warm
and comfortable. as, being loose. it allows
a body of warm cir to form round the arms
and body. and even when made of silk or
light faced cloth it affords a great deal Of
protection from cold weather. 1t is easy,
moreover, to add an extra wrap underneath
when necessary, which is an important con-
sideration where We get SO many really
warm days in winter and so many cold ones
IN summer, for it is just as unwholesome to
be Overclothed as it is to go out in the cold
without sufficient protection.
These long cloaks are exceedingly hand
some in velvet. either in black or colors
seal plush would also make up very we'll
in the style Of our model, and. if preferred,
the lace could be mounted on white satin
revers. Creamy lace will be very much worn
on mantles next season. and cloaks and
Jackets with sleeves will be more fashiona-
BILE than the shoulder capes, which have had
such a long run.
Rich silks and brocades make lighter
cloaks than plushes and velvets, and they
can, of course. be worn on later into the
summer. handsome mantle in either of
these materials can quite we'll be worn as
an opera cloak, so it is not really an ex-
travagant garment. If intended for really
cold weather, it can be interlined with do
Hette, or the silk lining can be quilted

of rich brocade, on which hangs real lace
jabot or cravat. Some handsome buttons
usually adorn the sides of coat below the
revers, and these three things in themselves
are sufficient to make up charming toll
lette even if the coat and skirt are made
of plain cloth The basques assume many
forms. Some are long all round reaching
about ten inches below the waist, and others
are only long at the back like poGtillion's s
coat, with short fronts, reaching only to the
waist.
Some Of the basques are fluted, showing
a bright colored lining in the curves and
others are arranged in fiat plaits, fastened
with fancy buttons. Another style is to
have the fronts and the center of the back
fiat, and the hip pieces fluted. and there are
many other ways in which the appearance
Of these fascinating coats can be varied.
The vests take a good deal Of brocade, as
they are generally cut to hang longer than
the fronts Of the coat. and full width Is
not any too much for either side. Choice
and old-fashioned buttons can be used for
fastening these waistcoats. as even paste
buttons can be worn in the day time on
silk Of rich quality without looking out Of
place. Chased silver buttons are particu-
larly suitable for this style of dress, and
they can be used on the cuffs and lapels
as we'll az on the wastcOat with good effect

skirts. A charming model. which has just
been introduced III Paris has a white net
skirt and coat OF green brocade. held in
with a jeweled waist belt. The vest Of the
bodice, which is. Of course, cut low, is Of
white plated net, and a bunch Of pale pink
roses appears on the left shoulder
A demi-toilette or theater bodice is in pale
rose-colored mirror velvet embroidered
round the edge in gold tnse cord and dia-
mond studs. 1t buttons down the front with
paste buttons. and has a futed basque a..
the back, only 1t is high at the back of the
neck with roll collar. edged with en-
broidery, and lined with old soft lace, and
the front Of the coat is cut out square in
front. Costly old lace hangs out Of the full
elbow sleeves, and tuft of the same trims
the opening at the neck. This dainty gar
ment is worn over a black satin skirt. but it
could also be worn with a skirt of the same
velvet as a complete costume.
For more dressy occasions these bodices
are. of course, cut down at the back as well
as in front. generally in square shape,
and a fashionable way Of trimming them is
TO fix large bows of costly ribbon or ribbon
velvet right across the back or front, with
a handsome buckle in the center. These
bows generally consist of two loops on either
side, but do not have any ends,

Ruskin once said: "It Is a yomsn's duty
to make the most OF her personal appear
ance.' OF course it's her duty. and very
pleasant one. Women generally take to a
distinctive mode Of dress something which
will make them especially striking. which
accounts probably for the fondness sonfe
women exhibit for the Louis XIV costumes !;
that is. the women VIII ocan wear it, for they
are few.
It's death to a short. dumpy figure. and
not all OF us are blessed with graceful,
willowy bodies. The Louis XIV. costume
consists chiefly or the coat, as it may be
worn with any skirt, or. at least. the skirt
is not distinctive from the skirt of any other
gown.
First of all, the material must be Of the
richest or the effect will be spoiled. Bro
cades find high favor. and they are en-
inently suitable, but they must be of the
large, scrawly designs in chene effect of
either velvet or rich satin. At a private
gallery last week one OF these coats was
worn by swell young Washington woman,
whose height made her look very queen.
The skirt was extremely haring and won-
derfully smart made UP of cleaning smoke
gray satin. as soft IN tone as the mists on
summer day.
The coat reached half way to the knees
and was made of brocaded velvet in huge
scrolls. showing tints of mauve, pink and
creamy white. The coat skirt was all full
of godets and lined throughout with peach
bloom satin.
There were enormously wide revers of
peach bloom satin rolled back from the
front. displaying a folded sash of smoke
gray, decorated with big miniature buttons
set about with rhnestones. The sleeves
are huge lego mutton, finished by big
square cuffs Of the brocaded stuff and two
of the lovely buttons

same appear at the edge. Skirts are not
quite so full al the bottom as they were. and
as the fine weather comes On they will be
more trimmed round the edge. but in rather
fiat style for outdoor wear. For balls.
full frils OF chiffon or net are used. and
these are often hung with the petals Of
flowers. This style of trimming is exceed
ngly pretty fc- young people. as it is simple
and young looking. and produces a very
pretty effect in ball room.
Pale satin ball gowns are trimmed with
net or tulle quilting, and have full tulle
sleeves. These are very light and pretty
and they give a much more dressy appear
ance to a gown than sleeves Of the same
silk CIR satin, however pale the color may
be.
All the tulle and transparent gauze TRIM
mings should be worn cs much as possible
while they are in fashion, tor nothing could
produce daintier appearance. and they are
also eminantly becoming especially when
The herald., 1896-03-08

The hat worn with this cloak is of m orrse-
colored velvet, trimmed with rose-colored
China silk bows and shaded green roses
of crumpled velvet.
Princess dresses are becoming more and
more fashionable in Paris, especially for
evening wear so they are likely to be
very popular next season. There is no
doubt that these gowns are exceedingly
elegant when they are cut by master
hand, and are worn by a slim woman, who
carries herself well; but alas! for princess
dress that is neither we'll made nor well
put on, for it looks ten times worse than a
bodice and skirt with the same disadvant-
ages. These gowns are cut quite differently
now to what they were when they were
last in fashion here, but, with good pat
tern, the difference in the cut makes no
trouble at ALL
Next to princess dresses, the Louis XVI
coat is the most popular garment, and this,
besides being very smart. is much more
generally becoming, and it lends itself to
many daint, ways Of trimming which are
very effective.
One of it's chief charms is a long waistcoat

tion. AT recent congress held in the Uni
versity Of Moscow, Russia, the different
questions relative to women in the nine
teenth century were Discussed.
Dr.. Soiovif, one of the pr ncipal orators,
spoke on the Society for Rational Costume,
which has recently been formed in Russia.
The society is seeking a type Of dress
which, while responding to the individual
taste ard the desires Of all concerned, shall
be hygenic, elegant and convenient All
the members of the society agree on one
point-that feminine costumes in all lat-
tudes are quite opposed to rational dress.
The leaders in the new Russian movement
are courageous and at the same time very
sensible. They admit that it would be i'm
possible for them to do away entirely with
what is known as fashion, and they even
condescend to admit that la mode shall re-
main queen. They hope to incorporate in
their society the most elegant danes of St
Petersburg and of Moscow.
1t is said that the Czarina has agreed to
become one of the patrons of the society,
among whose members are many doctors
and scientists.

TO KEEP GLOVES NEAT.
A Practical and Pretty Case for
Ones Soft Suedcs.

Ones Soft Suedcs.
Every one knows how wrnkled and soiled
gloves become when allowed to lie about in
a bureau drawer. or when rolled UP. and so
little case will recommend itself and be
appreciated by all who Ike 10 keep their
gloves in neat way.
The outside Of this case IS made OF
piece OF unbleached or self-colored linen,
10 by "a inches in size, and the lining is OF
piece of dark blue silk the same size. The
lining is prepared first. Two inches from
both long edges, and at equal distances,
are fastened seven loops Of inch-wide dark
blue ribbon, so made that two long ribbons
of the same width and color can be passed
through. These ribbons serve to hold the
gloves in place. The lining and outside are
next tackled together. and one OF the mar
row ends la shaped to point. All the edges
are bound neatly with dark blue ribbon.
On the point are fastened two long. rib
bons. The gloves are we'll smoothed out
and placed beneath the ribbons between
the loops. the case Is rolled up and secured
by tying the ribbons in bow.
