Paris. Jan. Snow that the holidays
are over the young people have settled
down to having a good time out of doors.
They are skating and enjoying them
selves at every sort of cold weather sport.
for Paris is coolest of the cold after cold
sets in. 1t is a freezing, biting, bitter cold,
which calls for heavy underwear and the
thickest, warmest furs.
The cape is worn by women Of all ages
for it is made in endless variety. The
young women wearing a long, plain cloth
cape without trimming of any sort ana
made fancy only by g, tall, ned collar.
The matrons wear the cape which in
London is called the golf cape. 1t has
a big, lined hood and a rutf1e with a gay
lining. The hood is often lined with a
very bright plaid and the rufile is also of
the plaid.
THE GOLF CAPE.
This cape is very long in the back and
is much cut away in the front, although
it meets at the waist line. 1t is a decld-
eddy fancy little affair, and If a woman
has enough so that it need not be worn
at ali times. it is a Very pretty addition
to the wardrobe. In fact the cape fad 10
such a clinging one that when one begins
to follow it. there is danger of keeping on
forever.
There are other styles of capeS; in fact
there are so many that one cannot men
ton them all. But one particular cape is
the Bernhard. A very handsome Bern
hardt cape was seen theother day on one
of theshoppers on the Rue de la Palx. 1t
was Of mingled Scotch goods, for all
mingled goods these days are called
Scotch goods. It had that curious ap-
pearance of mingled goods with a promi-
nent dot coming out here and there like
a wink of the eye. The greater number of
the dots were so tiny as to almost in
visible. Others were very prominent.
With the background brown and these
clear. red dots upon it was really a
very pretty cloth.
1t was cut in the new rounding shape,
long in theback inc cut away in the
front, and all around it there extended
a deep ruff1e fully a foot in depth. The
ruft1e was made Of the same material and
was lined with red silk throughout. 1t
was put on all round the edge Of the
cape in a sort of box plated way, giving
a very nice appearance.
The cape had a hood which was of
red ladies' cloth and the Medici collar
was of the same material. A big dull
gold buckle fastened the hood under the
chin.
The hat was a broad trimmed or turn
ed up in the front with a crown of the
Scotch cloth of which the cape was made.

The wearer was dressed in a skirt of
Scotch plaid with a red satin waist, and
her gloves were bright red dogskin. She
carried a black silk umbrella.
SKATING COSTUMES.
Skating dresses this year are almost
universally Of checked goods and young
men who want to be very fashionable
have suits made of the same material.
The mems Scotch suits are cut on the
bicycle pattern, no man skating in long
trousers. The pattern for the mems
suits is baggy around the knees and the
coat is very heavy and very short.
WoDlen's skating dresses are much
longer, as they cannot by any accident
touch in skating, and the rather long
skirts are considered more graceful than
the ankle length.
Your correspondent was much surpris-
ed the other day to see a party of skaters
SdiSmount" from their skates and walk
away. Their skirts touched all around
