NEW YORK FASHION LETTER. /.

ly handsome three-quarter cloak OF
black lambskin had a collar which
extended to the bottom of passeman-
terie and cuffs of the same. Braid
IS too fashionable a trimming this
season to be left out of the con-
structlon of the fur wrap and on
numbers of them you will find fine
braid finishing the edges of the pock-
pockets, cuffs, collars and down the
fronts. Some of the pockets are
covered with little motifs of braid,

side of the front, the shoulders and
on the cuffs.

square back, which looks almost like
the quare back of the bolero, and the
tabs are extremely long in front, for
wear with a handsome carriage, re-
ception, callong, or matinee suit

and can be easily laid aside or open

back. And from the round-back
stole II Is only a step to the new
pelerines that look as though they
had stepped out of some old pictures j
made in our grandmother's days.
They are made with deep curved
backs, have caps like sleeves, and
braid trimmings usually supply the |
finish, a very convenient extra gar
ment when driving, motoring, etc,
but unfortunately they cannot be |
said to be stylish--perhaps the de-
signers by another season will have
them into something less
and more graceful in
