the Louis XVI coats that are made up
again this autumn. and they are smart

they should not be included among the
wraps, and yet, as they are made to wear
with different gowns they come under the
head of separate garments.

useful and practical, and is made up in

in order to carry out the fashion as it is
intended.
Bands Of Velvet on Coats.
Even the circular cloak is made very
full-this In order to cover the skirts. which
are now abnormally wide. The sleeves
on these cloaks are cut in with the cloak.
or. If the cloak be very full. there is no
sleeve. simply an opening through which
the arm is thrust. 1t has often been con-
tended that a circular cloak lacks warmth,
account of the sleeves. but as the fash
ion is one that is intended only for a wrap.
the sleeves are not so necessary. The cloak
is not possible to walk in. and is merely
intended to be put on over q gown that
quires to be protected
Trimming cloth and silk coats with bands
of velvet is fashion that is coming back
again into favor. and which is certainly ef
fective. 1t is better to use velvet OF the
same color, even 1 ia darker shade be
chosen, or else with black. black silk
coat trimmed with velvet is always effec-
tive, while tan cloak with brown is very
smart.
The light weight lace that has already
been spoken OF, when used in combination
with the bands of velvet, makes very
good effect and one that Is rather unusual,
but this again is for the wrap on the elab-
crate order, while the plain bands of velvet
are seen on the simpler styles.
The broad band OF velvet or satin finish
Ing the sleeves and the collar and put on
down the front is a little too severe to be
very becoming, or rather to be always be-
coming, and somehow suggests a wrapper
or kimono: but il Is seen on some OF the
new garments and IT is only a question
whether the general taste will commend or
disapprove of 1t.
On the black silk or cloth coats intended
for elderly women jet passementerie is
seen again, but IL is not used to any great
extent, and what is used Is of the very
handsomest quality. 1t is put at the
head of the black lace ruffies This Is mere
ly one of the passing fances, of which
there are SO many this year. but II means
a great deal to those who wish to be up
in all the little details of dress.
Until very late in the year the wraps and
coats of lace OF the heavier quality will
be seen, and. in fact, there are some car
riage wraps only lately turned out that are
made of Chantilly lace and yet SO lined as
to make them quite warm enough to be
worn until late in the season. There Is
nothing much more useful than a long coat
of heavy lace as a wrap for afternoon or
evening, especially of black lace, and this
can be made lighter in effect II the lining
be of white or some light color.

find ready made, and is an excellent one
in so far that it never goes out of style.
Elaborate Carriage Wraps.
There are many most elaborate fashions
in carriage wraps that are heavily trimmed
with lace or cut work. These are either in
the loose coats or the long cloaks The
cloth ones trimmed with heavy lace of the
same shade or white afford an opportunity
to use an enormous amount of hand work
and lace. An old fashion that has been
revived calls for elaborate braiding on the
cloth and then factngs of the lace.
These garments have no reference to any
special gown and emphat ically wraps
to be worn at any time For elderly women
they are very attractive made in heavy
silk and trimmed with the heavier qualities
of lace. A curious fad that has suddenly
come in is the more or less vague style of
cloak-that is. without any special shape
made of light cloth and trimmed with a
jabot of light lace
We are so accustomed to seeing heavy
lace used on cloth and even on silk that it
is decidedly an innovation this lighter lace
but 1t is affected, and a garment so trim
med is attractive for an evening wrap, as
! well as possible for the afternoon.
Bright blue of either dark or a light
shade is very fashionable at the moment
while light tan, always fashionable, and
light gray look well when made after this
model. There are more black cloth wraps
to be seen now than there have been for
some time, and they are made brighter by
touch Of color around the neck or in the
facings.
Almost without exception the wraps are
made collarless. thus following the fad for
low collars, but when the winter sets in 1t
is question whether the fashion will be
so popular. as high collar that can be
turned up is a great protection against
cold. But then, on the other hand, it is to
be fashionable to wear handsome furs and
so perhaps the fur neck pieces will answer
all the purposes of keeping off draughts
that the high collar was once supposed to
possess.
The bishop sleeve is seen on some of the
new wraps and In fact. a loose flowing eff
feet of sleeve and mantle combined seems
to be one of the characteristics of the new
est model. In heavy silk it does look
very much like a bishops robe and is not
ungraceful in cloth. 1t is certainly orig
inal, and now that women are learning to
wear these loose garments they do not
seem ungraceful they did (the gar
ments. not the women; but there would
seem to be an unnecessary amount of ma
terial used in such nantes, for 1t is nee

small crown OF a little more than medium
height The brlm is slanted up on the left

necessary when the exaggeration of style
