NEW JACKET FOR R

&0As Az
and Grape cloths and blister and other
crepons. All these may be worn for
Mourning or for any occasion not espe-
cially festive.
Black silks are almost covered with
jet, embroidery picked out with jet and
with jetted passementerie. One gown
for a swell dinner was of black armure
silk thickly sewed with jet, SO that al
together it weighed nearly 40 pounds.
Black velvet gowns for grand occa-
sions and for the street will be among
the handsomest of all the winter cos
tunes.
For mourning attire there are some
very handsome wraps and capes; also
empire coats and other shapes, such as
tight jackets and blouse effects. Some
of these are of all wool goods, like the
wool drap d'alma and cachemire de
rinde. Broadcloth and venetian, mel
ton and boucle will also be worn later
in the season. All but the last two will
be trimmed with Grape. The melton
and boucle will have black castle braid
stitched on, and where buttons are re-

horn. Everything in shape Of wrap or
jacket will have high collars, higher
than ever, il possible. There is a new
mantle where the body is blouse shap-
ed and belted, with a fiat revers col
lar and a high medici collar. The
sleeves are cut like circular capes and

to fall in heavy folds.
For deep mourning these are quite or
nearly covered with Grape. Other
sleeves are made very snug, almost as
tight as they used to be some ten years
ago, when it was said that q woman
had to get up on a stepladder to get
them on. The way she did it was to
fall down.
The suits for what are generally called
growing girls" are very neat and pref
ty this season. l was looking at some
cravanette suits recently. One had
four clusters Of soutache on the skirt,
four rows in each. They were all
massed above the knees. The jacket
was double breasted, but fastened with
flies. 1t was s%calloped and had several
rows of soutache. Jaunty pockets and
reyers and coat collar finished it. The
color was dark brown. Another pretty
suit for a girl of 16 had the skirt Of
very dark blue serge made entirely
plain. The jacket was of tan melton,
double breasted and elegantly braid
ed. A glance at the illustration will
show how both Of these looked.
Fol young girls there are many pref
ty felt hats, stitched round and round
the crowns, made like Tam O'Shanters,
A quill and a band are considered the
right trimming for these. Others there
are with more of the sailor shape, with
birds, quilts, plumes or ~rosettes Of vel
vet or Of felt as garniture. For dress
occasions velvet hats of dark color
with light satin pipings are hand
Somer. These are trimmed with loops
and bows of alternate velvet and satin.
Plaids will be unusually prominent
for girls this season, but for dresses
only. All coats and cloaks are of mix
lures or solid color in smooth faced or
boucle. The woolly effects in outer
garments will be carried out to a great
er extent than yer before. There are
some self colored cameIs hairs that are
as thick rs fur, with long, silky hair.
These will make beautiful cloaks for
small children in the lighter shades of
gray. HENR1ETTE ROUSSEAU.
