Now that the long cloak has been at.

Now that the long cloak has been at.
tackled it can also be defended. On the
ground of healthfulness it has no equal,
for it protects the figure so we'll that a
woman can wear her lighter and prettier
all winter in the street without
danger to her health. With a handsome
hat set over a pretty face. with smar
furs and gloves. there is a smartness that
is very fetching.
Take a long princess cloak Of pearl gray
cloth. 1t was tight-fitting at the back
and sides, and rather clinging in front.
Such a cloak as this was worn at a re-
ception given not long ago by Mrs. Os-
den Goelet. AS the family is in half
| mourning, it was not a gay affair, mere
ly an afternoon at home. yet very ele-
| CANT from the wealth and satin OF the
family. Miss Goelet is the heiress OF
| whom so many engagements have been
announced, and her mother is the lazy
so much gossiped about as the possible
| fancee of William Waldorf Aston.
The guests called in long cloaks. While
the long cloak is not a dressy gar"
ment, it is worn for calling. Being SO
elegantly made it has acquired a dignity
| not its own. and, though little better than
| the ulster from a general point OF view,
it becomes by it's aesthetic materials d
| thing of elegance.
This cloak was of pearl gray cloth with
satin finish. 1t was as fine as satin.
Pearl gray satin laid in folds formed
| a rich border and the same trimming ex-
| tended in curious pattern from the arm
holes downward. \ narrow band or chln-
| chilla extended around the entire CLOAK
bordering the high collar and the front,
| and following the edge of the cloak
| around it's entire boundary.
The cuff was formed by a novel ar
rangelnent consisting OF bands of gray
| satin bordered With chincnilla.
A touch Of brillancy was afforded by
| the lining of the cuffs and collar with a
most delicate conch shell, pink satin.
This elegant cloak was cleverly iml-
tatcd for her W wear by an American
| art student in Paris. Happening to see
it at the rooms of the couturiere she pur-
chased a long. plain princess cloak OF
ecru satin cloth, not nearly as rich as
the mode but very pretty.
The folds of satin she cieverly inlitat-
ed by bands of ecru ribbon which We're
applied to the cloth in such a way as
to over-lay each other, looking like folds.
There was a deal Of stitching in black;
and the whole cloak was bordered by the
/ ]narrowest band of gray a~strachan. The
collar which was a medici Of unusual cut
was lined with white.
Panne velvet makes a delightful skirt
for these loose coats. 1t is generally cut
with a deep ripple around the foot. the
ripples being applilued with various de-
signs.
: A panne velvet skirt was appiipued
with figures OF Russian lace. This lace
is coming greatly in favor. 1t is effec-
tive. elegant and Very durable. II is used
upon panne velvet. upon parma cloth
and upon the iarge family of satin faced
goods.
The paletOt is another cloak that has
not been mentioned. 1t is three-quarters
long and hangs perfectly straight around
tho figure without a suggestion of end
or shape.
Three cloaks. two Of them on the pale
tot variety. We're so beau-modjsh as ia
n claim attention. one was Of castor gray
buttoned down the front with big white
pearl buttons of a pearl, so clear, vet
shading to blue, that YOU knew the but
tons to be as costly as any semi-precious
gem.
