NEWEST EVENING WRAP.
Possesses Solid Virtues That EUery
Woman WiU appreciate.

The very newest thing in evening wraps. as
shown at Stern Brothers, West 23d-st., is
the Doucet cape. This is an unpretentious gar
ment as compared with most Of the evening
cIoaks of the season. but it has solid virtues
which most of the others do not possess. 1t can
be thrown on and off in moment. It covers
the whole gown. 1t is warm and comfortable,
and will stand unlimited wear. One Of these
capes was in black broadcloth, with no trim
ming except Greek border of velvet around
the bottom. There were fur collar and revers,
the latter finished with some long tabs of lace.
and inside were some Fittings of chiffon. This
model is shown in white and delicate colors, and
there is absolutely nothing nicer for evening
wear.
Those who prefer the elaborate style of even
ing coat however. will find plenty to choose
from One model for instance, was of white
broadcloth. yelled with silver dotted net, which
was decorated at the bottom with applique of
silver lace. The coat was finished at the neck
with a triple cape of silver-dotted cloth cut
short in front, but falling below the waist at the
back. The sleeves We're of broadclOth, yelled with
angel sleeves Of net. Another elaborate evening
coat was of white broadcloth cut i'll Empire
effect and trimmed with silver lace and mink
tails.
The short sleeve has invaded the whole realm
of dress, and now fur coats are actually made
with such sleeves. One of these was a beauti-
full untitled mink garment with sleeves stop
ping far above the wrist. with an opening
wide that a whole tornado might enter and
reign untrammelled within their roomy depths.
But muffs are so large this year that they are
probably depended upon to counteract these
extravagances The neck of this coat was col
Iarless and was finished with real Irish
crochet
The seasons styles in headgear find original
and sometimes even startling expression IN
Sterns millinery department. very odd and
smart model which few women could wear was
a blush gray felt derby of the precise shape
that is commonly by 1t bound
with cloth of silver, and silver folded round
the crown and knotted the brim on one
side to hold two pale blue feathers. Such q
hat as this is intended to be worn with a hand1
some broadcloth suit.
The ubiquitous val" lace was used in the
construction of several smart hats but not in
its usual form. One shape was of silver val"
with white feathers under the brm and
another was in Alice blue val, with blue
feathers side and silver braid round
the low crown.
There are great many larger and excessively
of gray satin, with pile of gray plumes al the
left side, gray roses on the right and bank of
malines the bandeau. A dark green felt

| turned up very high at the side and hack. The
only trimmings consisted of two shaded green
| plumes caught into a knot of ribbon near the
| front. A third hat in this style, in pea
| cock colorings, shape of velvet being trimmed
| with gold roses and three large plumes.
Little Continental shapes are extremely smart
