The Long Cloaks Of Autumn
THEY WILL. ENTIRELY ENVELOPE THE FIGURE ALMOST CONCEALING
THE ELEGANT GOWN.

|, One of the jauntiest of the short jack |
cts is built of bright red cloth. 1t fits
close into the curves of the figure at the
back and extends just to the waiSt-line. !
The 'front.'. which is a bit longer. laps
over to the left side, where it ~fastens with
two large black bone buttons. A broad
| strap of the cloth stitched with several
rows of black floss gives a finish to the
| bottom of the back. This stitched strap
| is repeated again at the bust line and
| passes around the tops of the close fitting
! plain sleeves. The broad revers and col
lar were of black velvet.
AS each one of the models was shown
me, l tried to picture them worn in con-
junction with full Danniers and much
looped overskirts. But the long Jackets
and coats are so close fitting over the
hips that one is obliged to think that they
are designed with the idea of being worn
with clinging gowns.
AS impractical as ii seems. no few of
the long capes are fashioned for automo-
bile wear. OF course, they are not in
tended to be worn by the woman who
manages her own machine. One of the
newest of these capes comes almost to
the bottom of the gown. 1t is built of
military blue cloth and from the decided
dip at the back. it rounds up to the left
shoulder, where it is draped and held in
place by old silver clasps. 1t is bordered
with double shaped flounces of the cloth,
trimmed with black velvet a%ppliques.
A modish little jacket with short bas-
Dues is built of wood brown cloth. 1t is
cut ound-necked to show a yoke of
!, white cloth and is hooked invisibly to the
left side. A broad band of old blue vel
vet borders the yoke and edge Of the JAG
ket. This is placed under the cloth that is
cut in small round scallops and heavily
!, ! stitched in silk of the same color. The
: white cloth of the yoke is nearly eclipsed
by a heavy braiding of blue soutache
! mixed with silver cord. From the yoke
merges the high straight collar of white
}, cloth raide like the yoke. The sleeves
: Of the blue cloth are perfectly plain.
t With all of these Jackets there will be
worn butterfly bows of tulle or lace era
e watts and scarfs that will fill in the va
' cant space between the revers where the
t silk scarf, once did duty.
/ Crystal buttons are not worn nearly as
i much as they were last year.. and bone
t buttons are steadily coming into favor.
v The cuff which has been temporarily
/ discarded for the last few seasons is quite
conspicuous on this winters coats. 1t i:
often broad and flaring and is often elab
orately stitched.
The new Etons are longer and are fin
ished like the cloaks with scallops ant
d with braid. They are stitched with con
trasting silk and are very elaborated!
h finished around the edges. They ar
e longer than the boleros and longer thai
you expect an Elton to be, and in tina
o way they favor the Russian blouse. Man,
h of them have also a belt which hooks Ii
front holding the front Of the Elton to
gether at the belt line, but allowing it t
flare above the belt so as to disclose tn
n fancy dress front.
X A very large trosseau was sent over t
II Newport for Miss Julia Dent Grant an
, a still larger one awaits her here on thi
d side. 1t has been sent to London. wher
~ she will find it when she passes throug
LONDON on ner way 10 the frozen f.usslA
h acres OF the Cantacuzenes. IN TINS tros
seau were three long cloaks lined wit
a various materials. one was lined with flu,
l. one with silk and one with a very thic
III soft satin. The cloaks were of cover
IN cloth, silk and serge. The Etons We're a

with points, and several of them beltet
