of the cloak went a border of gray
chinchilla fur. Inside was a lining OF
rose pink satin. yelled with gray chif-
fon. The effect of this wrap was
ethereauy delicate. but the four layers
of fabric really offered substantial pro-

Another beautiful lace wrap was of
Yalenciennes lace, colored a metallic
gray shade and hung over shellfsh pink
silk. There was a shaped turnover

satin, embroidered with pink beads,
and holding the collar together in front
was a clasp formed of two large pink
and white canoes, perfectly matched
and set in silver rims.

in the fashionable shops. Such wraps

dowager. but even women of tender
years affect these heavier cloaks. A ma

cloaks, which wrap around the figure
and are draped up over the shoulder
These cloaks came into vogue because
/ of the opera "Salome," which por-
/ trays the time of Herod, when cost
umes were especially extravagant and
/ splendid. Assyrian wraps are usually

hangings which were considered highly
/ elegant a generation ago.
Crepe meteor. satin and bengaline

waists. but just such dainty blouses
as the fashionable woman has been IN
the habit of ordering from her dress
