MRS. MACKAY'S OPERA CLOAK.
A thousand dollar opera cloak is The
latest extravaganza of Mrs. Clarence
Mackay. who a year ago married the
son Of John w. Mackay, the bonanza
king. The wIap is a marvel of beauty
and entirely envelOps her figure. 1t is
made of that very odd combination
lace and fur. 1t is fashioned of eX-
Quisite lace ruffies outside, and inside
ii is all soft chinchilla fur. The cloak
is built with a slight train. The upper
part is of point applique lace mounted
on white silk 1t falls in fiounce
nearly 10 the waist line. Below this the
entire cloak is composed Of a. mass of
billowy lace ruffies falling one over the
other.
The collar is extremely high and
made of chinchilla, like the lining.
About the neck is a fold of cream white
satin ribbon. edged with a tiny frill of
lace. which broadens out at the back
into a bow.
ABOUT PERFUME BAGS.
As the delicate soupcon of some ex-
Quisite perfume has become, in many
cases. essentially a part of a womans
toilet it is a, very serious question with
manv women how to obtain just the
right amount. SO that the perfume viii
be faint and yet lasting.
The excessive use of cologne or per-
furned waters is To the refined woman
an denomination and is considered by
the majority Of people a sign of vul-
garity. But the delicious odor of clean
illness and a. suspicion of some eXpen-
the senses Of the person in proximity
TO the well-groomed woman.
Manv women sew Satchet bags in
their bOdiceS and distribute them in
their closets where their gowns hang,
and some few go so far as to sew them
in their cOrseks and carry them with
them also But such a wholesale use
Of satchet powders kills the refined
delicacy and faintness so desired by
fastidious women.
II mas been found, after much expert
menting and careful study, that per-
fume bags scattered broadcast and in
great plenty in the bureau drawers
have a better and more lasting effect
than anything which has ever been
tried before.
Each woman has her own particular
extract, which becomes SO identified
with her to her friends that one Of |
them. picking up a handkerchief and |
lnhalins the delicate scent clinging to |
it, will at once eXclaim, That is So
and-sO's handkerchief"
LONG CLOAKS IN STYLE.
AS far as cloaks are concerned. the
very long, half-ftting surtouts appear
10 be specially in favor, says a London
fashion writer. They have monstrous
storm collars and huge revers. while
many OF them have heavy flounces Of
fur about the feet. Some of them are
made after the directoire STYLE with
very short double breasted bodices and
tisht-fitting skirts hanging from a tiny
band Of FUR drawn almost under the
arms. All these garments are very
smart. and specially becoming to tall.
slim figures but thew are. dreadfully

either carrying them in an awkward
