nOei some. They weight the sbouI-

inaent- modelled somewhat after

Twin lshion of the old-time redingote

One model is of moderately heavy
cloth, and is lined with iridescent satin.
The edges are finished with a wide band
OF black velvet, and similar bands of
black velvet outline the seams and fin
lsh the cuffs, collars and lapels.
novelty is a long coat of broad-
cloth i'll two colors. The body of the
garment is of tan color, the trimmings
OF black. The collar, deep cuffs and
lapels are of black, and black bands are
stitched down over all the seams, and a
WIDE trimming of the broadcloth turns
back from the front on either side. The
garment is double-breasted, and closes
over vest-shaped section that extends
about half way down the skirt from the
belt. This vest portion is embroidered
and braided in the most elaborate fash
ion. The rest of the garment is without
garniture other than the black cloth men
toned. The sleeves are in the modified
lego mutton shape that has been in
PRODUCED to let us down by easy grada-
tons from the enormous sleeves to the
almost tight-itting styles.
The ulster is to be the general all
around useful cloak of the season. A
few ulsters with capes are shown, others
are merely the fitted garment. Many of
them are lined throughout the waist
and the upper half of the skirt portion.
This is done for warmth, and cloaks of
this pattern, with double-brea<ted
fronts, are adapted for extremely cold
Weather and driving. The latter cloak
is garment which is very popular. as
Hiny women are extremely fond of
fNlng, and must be so arranged as to
beeasy and comfortable, and. at the
sae time, sufficiently well fitted to be
Nty and stylish, which combination is
a nooIHeans easy to secure. A cold
,dfather garment of this sort is made of
sYfee -brown cloth, of a material some
what like Irish frieZe. The front laps
over rather farther than the average
double-breasted garment, giving an adj
ditional warmth. The sleeves are very
loose at the tops, and quite full at The
elbows, then narrow to cuffs of the
usual shape. a cape, which is long
enough to cover the arms to the wrists,
is furnished with the cloak. A new

tonhole at the extreme points of the
front. In windy weather the front cor
ners of the cape are crossed and but
ton and buttonhoie are fastened at the
back of the waist. This makes what is
equivalent to big sleeves over those of
the regularly fitted garment.
Another cape, which is much longer,
has a buttonhole made about ~ inches
back on either side of the front.
Through these holes straps attached to
the edges of the cloak pass and fasten
at the back. This arrangement permits
the cape to fall below the waist line and
is much greater protection than could
be imagined unless one has tried it.
Circular capes will be quite as much
worn as heretofore and differ very
slightly in shape from those of last sea-
son. A fancy of the moment is The
round cape made of West-ofEngland
broadcloth. The trimming may be
either the elaborate braiding hereto
fore described in the Ledger, or, what
is just as much liked by many, lattice
work either of the material itself, made
into narrow strips and stitched on, or
satin, velvet or ribbon. One cape is
I ,,mmed with a ribbon of satin and

T6RR' and arabesques, and makes a

4 Nsle collars and wide lapels are also
RYed on these West-of-England broad
Goth capes, and short capes of bro"ade
or velvet are lined with ermine and
trimmed with rose ruchings of silk or
