THREE NEW TAILOR GOWNS.

cd, and one in tho back. These reach 20
the bottom of the garment, which should
touch the floor. There are other loose man
ties with armholes but no sleeves, and
capes do duty for sleeves. The capes are IS
a general thing lavishly trimmed
Some Of the sleeves are made in semi
classical style, short in front and hanging
very deeply in the back and being wide.
This shows tho lining, which Is always
handsome. Several Of the gray redingotes
are slightly trimmed with very narrow
silver braid wherever it will 60 WELL and
the lapels are faced in such instances with
whito moire or satin. BY all this one may
see to whatan oXtont is the redingote made
and what a latitude is given the name.
Tho black brocade and satin redingotes are
rich and elegant
OXidized silver and steel buttons are
used on somo Of these garments. So arc
gilt, bone and pearl, each chosen with q
view to its eternal fitness But nothing
that can say will show the beauty and
smoothness of all these redingotes.
think covert cloth is going to be the
prime favorite for all ordinary outdoor
wear for spring and far into summer for
all sorts of garments. Covert suiting is
different colored backs, mostly plaid,
though much of 1t has only one color, and
this Is so woven that 1t shows family
through on the outer side, Gray with a
faint rose tint woven through it has the
underside rose with gray mist over It,
When this double faced covert Is made up,
1t is always arranged SO that both sides
shall show somehow, and show In such a

Scotch mixtures appear to be well
| liked, especially the granite suiting. This
is very rough and thick in appearance, but
light and flexible. Armurette is another
new wooden fabric, thick in refined colori
and suitable for tailor gowns. English
oheviots are shown in mixtures Of all sorts
of colors, the general effect being rather
dull and dark and very satisfactory fol
gowns. This is owing in great degree tt
the mixture Of black in the warp.
There are many varieties Of poplins and
yelours of several different kinds. Rus
sian velours is woven in such fine tuckl
that it looks like corded stuff. 1t is par
ticularly rich in Jet black and In one o.
two Of the darkest shades Of prune, clare
and green. Wool velours is woven will

plaided or striped in bright oolors owe
black. This weave Ia handsome In al
black, and black Is a great favorite thi
season. Irish frieze Is produced, but on
foundation so thin that the lining show
beneath the mesh. Poll de chine IL also
bristly looking stuff, woven very loosely
This is, like the frieze, novelty
Every day sees the advent Of something
new in crepons. Few are in colors, tbos
of black showing to better advantage. Tn
latest idea that have found is that calle
"blister." The whole surface is covere
with little puffed up places like blistere
paint. 10 Is extremely odd. There are bi
low crepons with a sort OF imitation o
the top Of the billows Of the fine, froth
bubbles.

upon the lapels of some OF them. The CAP
is short In the back and long In from

form will be made of the lovely muslin
