important day there are changes 70 be
noted in the capes and coats, mainly
the latter.
Dame Fashion, whose affections
are always more or less unstable, Is

dress occasions, where mantle of any
description is admissible at all. Fancy
little sleeveless coats made OF lace, or
trimmed muslins are made up for sum-
mer uses To be worn over frocks OF light
cloth or silk.
A wonderfully fetching little jacket
of this sort is composed in an odd man
ner of interlaced bands OF butter-col-
ored insertions of null embroidery with
lace edge, and turquoise velvet ribbons
OF the same width, each end formed in
10 a tiny bow with pointed ends.
Another smart jacket is sun-burst
plated black moussellne de sole set
thick with narrow rows OF black velvet
ribbon. At the throat are innumerable
frills of the velvet trimmed muslins
with as many more to cap the sleeves
or rather the armhole. for there are no
sleeves.
