soft gray skins and turn back at the fronts
to form narrow revers Of fur. A really
sumptuous wrap is of biscuit-colored cloth,
with trimming of embroidered brown panne
and Is lined throughout with soft white
silk. In shape it suggests kimono with
loose open sleeves of that garment and a
cape over the shoulders that is held by ties
of silk tissue, that, in turn, are held by
big r%osettes. Black zibelines are extreme
ly handsome and are much seen. The bet
ter sorts show a surface as lustrous as
satin itself and are variously trimmed
with velvet and with handsome silk braids.
Some really Exquisite specimens of color
and of texture are to be found in the new
dark grays and the lovely tans. Long
haired materials are much liked and among
them is none more truly beautiful than
the zibeline.
EVENING AND RECEPTION WEAR.
White, castors, biscuit and tan shades
take the lead for evening and reception
wear and fine cloth is given the preference
over silks and velvets. Some superb cloaks
are in box style. others again in the XII
mono shape that attained such vogue in
Paris during the spring and summer. In
many instances they are quite plain. mere
ly stitched and sumptuously lined. but 9TH
ers again are elaborate with heavy lace ap-
plications and with fur. Ermine will be
much worn and collars with stoles of that
fur are far from in%frequent on these light
beautiful cloths. DANGERS of all sorts
abound. To put too many pendants on any
one coat would appear the impossible from
the view point of style. They take every
possible form. Perhaps those of silk in
spike shape predominant, but handsome
ones in metal, with jewels, and in every
coats show a succession of cabuchons down
the front, from which hang pendants of
varying lengths, and which serve to con-
finished with two big buttons at the neck.
from which depend cords trimmed in orna-
ments, and others again are closed by

balls are attached, but somewhere, some
how dangling effects are almost certain to
be found.
Snugger coats suggest the Louis idea,
but are by no means exact, or even close
ly appropriate copies. They fit the figure
above the waist and include skirts of
| vamping lengths, but there the likeness
ends. Tunic coats is the name used by i'm
porters and it gives, perhaps, as clear an
idea as any. The skirts assuredly suggest
the tunic idea and fail well over the gown.
although already there is a tendency to
curtail their length. Some OF the hand
| soonest are Of velvet, others again of the
have such vogue. A beautiful one of vel
vet has a slightly bloused effect at the
front. where ii falls over the belt, but fits
smoothly at the back while the skirt por-
dress skirt. In this instance the collar is
the wide. fiat turnover one that gives a
cape effect, and with it the cuffs and front
facings are Of lace over white. Another is
similar in general style. but shows a high.
straight military collar with stole ends and
is trimmed with handsome silk braid, while
down each front are ornaments from which
hang clusters of silk tassels. Both the
turnover and the high collar are seen, but
the coat with front facings OF lace and the
cape effect has the merit of being equally
satisfactory when closed and when rolled
back to form revers. The cloth coats of
this make are preferably of the long
haired material, but are seen In all sorts.
A handsome and at the same time useful
model is of black zebeline and is trimmed
with fancy silk braid, while the entire cape
collar Is made of the braid and falls we'll

JAUNTY SHORT CLOAKS.
The short coats are charming and are
as jaunty and smart as may be. Velvet
is a favorite for dress occasions and is
shown both in modified blouse and short
box styles. The blouses are undoubtedly
