| over the waist, skirt and sleeves In a
roundabout" design. First there was
one row of zigzag black soutaohe, then
row of openwork braid alternating and
reaching from the bottom of the dress to
the top, the upper lines being rather closer
| together than the others. 1t made a strik-
ing and not particularly handsome gown.
Tie roundabout effect is as near as we
seem to have come to the bayadere stripes
] so confidently offered at the beginning Of
10 season. It would be interesting to
ow what has become Of all those pieces
striped stuffs. They were and they are
not. Where are theyp Certainly the New
York women do not wear them.
Just now think the latest violent fancy
is for mocha colored (green mocha-not
roasted) cashmere sublime This Is really
very beautiful fabric, and the color is
one that never saw before, being exactly
that of an unroasted coffee bean, between
o green and putty gray. The cashmere
sublime Is rich in itself, and In this new
color becomes a very desirable thing to
have. A little heavy lace laid sparingly
over II, q touch of velvet In dark green
or a maroon and 1t Is fully trimmed and
richly too. l noticed In mocha gray some
very comfortable looking gloves for cold
days They are of suede and lined with
Q delicious silken fleece They are for la
dies who do not like to be bothered with
muffs, and there are many such.
1t is another fad just now for ladies to
appear Indifferent to the cold not all, for
there are some who discard the blouse COS
tume for street and wrap themselves FROM
head to foot in the new circular mantle
which reaches from the back of the head
to the very ground. This new mantle is
of fine broadoloth, or ottoman cloth, or
else heavy ribbed silk. Some of them are
lined with Siberian squirrel fur and others
have brocaded silk, with an interlining Of
canton flannel. One very handsome one
Of these circulars was of black corded silk,
with border down the whole right side
of the front of Alaska sable. There was a
yoke Of black velvet very richly beaded
with cut Jet and bordered with band of
the fur and fringe of tails. The large
Lafayette collar was of the fur and pret-
ty toque hat was of the fur, with tail and
black feather as ornaments. A very
fetching theater wrap, or for a ball, was
OF moonlight blue moire, cut in military
shape. The cape was 28 inches deep and
not too very full. 1t was lined with white
satin. Around the shoulders there was a
simulated yoke made Of very rich gros-
grain ribbon to match the moire. This
wastwisted into loops and festoons except
In front. where there were loops and ends.
Above the festooned ribbon was row of
white ostrich feather trimming and the
high, rolling collar was also borderod with
the same. 1t was very elegant wrap for
q young person and rather a novelty, as
most evening wraps are long this season.
Blouses still hold their ground for both
out and in doors. One new style has
scarcely any fullness In front, though the
tight belt causes the upper part to bulge
QUO somswnAr. Inc lower part is fitted to
the figure all around and bordered with
narrow band OF fur Some half inch SOU
tache is woven into shapeless sort OF de-
sign on the lower part of the waist In
front. There is lafayette collar of fur
and one lapel on the right side, edged
with row of black silk muslin plating.
On the sleeves and around the skirt are
three rows of soutache set on In serpentine
design. This Is an outdoor winter suit
and win be worn whom there is any skat-
ing.
The new Illuminated cheviots for every
DAY wear are very pretty and comfortable. |
They all come in seven oolorings for each |
design, like dark blue, brown, green, red,
purple, yellow and violet mixed with |
black. Thsse are not particularly dnrahlA
