AsTRAKhAN AND MINK JACKET.
scarcely to the bust line. This is Of pink
china Grape, with a row Of dull moss
green leaves worked around the edge in
chenille.
The front of the liberty waist is open
deeply in pon,padour shape. Black
mousquetaire gloves and a black velvet
picture hat with rich black plumes COM
pIete one of the handsomest costumes
that will be seen this winter.
At this same house, which is probably
tie "swellest" place in the country, l
noted several evening dresses where the
whole upper part Of the neck and shout
ders was covered with stirring of white
chiffon, and the whole of the rest OF the
alinging empire shape was one solid gilt
tering mass Of spangles on net.
In one l noticed a fine and tilmy net
work Of black silk, with here and there a
chenille dot. This was stretched loosely
over the shirred chiffon with excellent
effect. Over these festive gowns will be
WON long nantles OF fabulous value. In
fact, everything at this establishment is
Of fabulous value and the principal rea.
son / mention them in detail is SO that
other women can get up costume quite
US good and handsome at one-fourth the
price.
Possibly it may lack something of the
extreme finish Of the original. but it will
also not cost so much. and after couple
of days. wear one will look as well as
the other.
These clOaks or wraps are close ana
narrow ut the shoulders, and. IN fact, all
the way down. They are rounded up IN
front. This is the distinguishing part.
There are many ruttles of chiffon. lisse or
silk null set around the bottom. The
body Of the cape is of old rose or some
other delicately tinted satin duchess. A
border Of fur is scwrd upon the edGe'
mostly of the fluffy KILL. All the rest OF
the cape where not covered by the hlmy
ruffles is covered with an applique of
heavy lace in ecru or butter color.
The preference seems to be for long,
hanging cloaks, reaching quite to the bot
tom of the dress. One such was of slate
gray cloth and lined throughout with
brick dust satin. Down the front there
h7as wide facing of brick dust red cloth
lowered with black soutache in vermlcell
design. The immense storm collar was
trimmed in the same way. and there was
very narrow border Of black fur.
Anolner coat OF inns style was or toma
to red broadcloth, looking as, though il
had grown together. 1t had yoke, cuffs
high collar and deep border Of black mi
roir velvet. One popularity about it wal
the sleeves were shaped precisely like
= mans coat.
+ The younger ladies will rather lean II
tailel. suits Of such rorfection Of sty''
and finish Us to compel admiration. Their
rs one snit Of pastel blue cloth made Will
il tunic skirt and snort Jacket. 1t is
marvel in cut and finish, yet the onl'
trimming upon Il, s.ais'e from stitching
consists of Ii buttons. The jacket come
down we'll over the hips and fits exquis
]itely. The front hangs loose and button
diagonally to the left shoulder. The tn
