it is generally a feat in millinery. The
fiat and round chenille fringes, which
are being extensively used, are especial
ly gracious upon the cloth cloaks. They
border collars and stole ends and hang
at becoming points from the sleeve,
and as all of these fringes, and the
silk ones as well, are very deep, the
elegance of wraps so decked is mark
ed. The very thin French cloths are
sometimes made up into accordion
pleated models, the sleeves, also pleat-
ed, being set in at the shoulder. These
have quite d dolman air, and because
of their extreme loseness they are
much favored by young matrons
A new material is seen on a few of
these theater and opera wraps. 1t is
a wool texture, which daintily simu-
lates ermine without its clumsiness.
Used as is the fur for stole collars
and borders plain ivory cloth and this
new material are combined in elegant
and moderately priced cloaks. The
heavy cords and gimps of the season
outline their deckings and form the
pendeloque buttons whose swinging
ends appear upon many wraps of a
dreSsy nature.
The silk and satin cloaks are the ex-
trayagances of the season, for upon
these are lavished folderols as perish
able as cobwebs. A three-quarter
cloak of ivory satin de Lyons was in
serted near the bottom with what
seemed at first glance merely wide
blue chiffon puff. But upon examina-
ton the puff proved to be covered
with a vine of raised morning glories,
made by hand and put on as delicately
as Nature filings the same garland over
garden bean poles. With this only a
touch of the azure was used in five
tiny folds bordering the inside of the
wide sleeves. This coat was edged at
the bottom with killed white chiffon,
the same bordering the pelerine, which
was made of the satin and was other
wise plain.
Upon a white coat of corded bengal
inc similarly treated at the bottom,
pale pink chiffon roses We're used, long
garlands Of them mingling with the
Killed stoles of the front.
With the exception of such occa-
sional pranks by French models, the
silk and satin coats are quite plain at
the bottom. That is, the select
models, for there are fxy exceptions,
and these run largely there to wide
lace inserts bordered with chiffon
quillings or net or pinked silk ruch-
ings. Perhaps a trio of folded tucks-
tucks not stitched, but kept in place
with under bastings-will appear alone
at the bottom of a silk, satin or poplin
cloak.
But the deep cape collar or pereline
which ornaments the shoulders will
show an intricate mass of knotted silk
fringe or bastiste and lace collars of
Undesirable 1oVeliness. Even palmer
cloaks open to display deep V-shaped
pockets. one blur of fancy shirring
and standing out like wall-pockets.
Sometimes a shirred border of the
lining at coOt bottom and sleeves
matches this, and the result is always
one of charming coquetry.
All of these wraps are of an extreme
hghtness, 1ambs-wool interlinings
providing warmth without weight
Even those shown for late winter use
are rarely lined with fur, and when
they are the outside is often in a tex
tile of diaphanous description. Mole
skin formed the doubling of a pink
mousseline cloak shirred over pink
louisine.
