There IS quite wide distinction be
tween the carriage wrap shown in fig-
ure c and the two practical wraps just
described. The wrap in figure c is Of
black crepe de chine made in panels.
all the edges OF which are outlined by
double quilting Of black satin rib
bon. The wrap is quilted and lined with
white satin and the satin quillings show
from the inner edges
The openings Of the coat panels under
the arms disclose charming panels OF
black lace.
Very elaborate sleeves are made in a
draped angel pattern and hang open
over full undersleeves Of lace, which
are gathered to velvet bands and finish
ed with quilting. Elaborate designs Of
shirrcd velvet and satin quilting deco
rate the sleeve and give an appearance
Of sohdity TO their otherwise delicate
and airy appearance
The rather deep velvet collar comes
down to a point IN front and Is edged
with satin quilting.
Standing out at right angles from the
fronts of the coat are two tabs, lined
with black silk and decorated with
elaborate ornaments made OF shirred
velvet edged with pleated designs. The
arrangement of these tabs is quite strlk-
ing and effective.
The back Of the coat hangs quite loose,
and the satin quillings along he sleeves
and down the side panels show very
effectively from the back.

amateur dressmaker to initiate this
