LOUIS XIV JACKETS.
THEIR POPULARITY INCREASES DAILY
IN PARIS-OTHER STYLES OF

Paris, October 10.

Paris, October 10.
The most conspicuous item in the modes Of the
present season is the habit Louis XIV or, as the
coat is sometimes called. the 'gardes FRANCHISES"
The coattails broader and longer than in the
Directoire jacket and the back breadths Of the
coat end in a series of pleats. The jacket is short
the sides, and may be with waistcOat or
with simply a soft blouse. The skirt that accom-
panies such Jacket is long and clinging, somewhat
suggestive of a riding habit. 1t is often made of
satin CLOTH with the Jacket of brocade, the en-
tire suit may be of plain fancy silk The addi-
ton of rich buttons and lace cravat is ndispensa-
BILE.
The Louis XIV styles are even creeping into even
ing gowns in the form of velvet Jackets with thin
skirts of embroidered tule muslin. This Jacket
is taken of course. from the cavalier period. and
at the time it originated it formed part Of the
feminine wardrobe But there are other styles of
the same period quite in to the habit, and
which are equally fashionable.

white figures are set is effectively mounted over
