Redeem has been making some
| splendid suits in dark purple and dark
green velvets, coats and skirts of sim
pie design, but cut to perfection and
cleverly trimmed with handsome
! braids or with embroidered suede or
glove kid
One of these suits, in car violet
velvet, had a rather short coat which
nodded the waist and hips and which
showed large Follower collar of dark
purple ottoman, covered with black
silk embroidery. There was wide
band of the same embroidery across
the front Of the skirt, just above the
knee line, and down the back there
was wide, fiat plat of velvet 1t was
| a rarely beautiful costume and was
accompanied by scarf stole and large
muff of sealskin and breitschwanz and
by turban toque which had the
crown covered with car violets and
on the brim a band of black brett
schwanz.
Suit in Bottle Green Velvet.
Another suit, of similar kind, was
composed of bottle green velvet. The
skirt was tight and plain, the only
trimming being some handsome braid
ornaments on the front panel. The
coat was half length and double breast
ed, with an enormous collar of black
glove kid, handsomely braided in
black silk. The sleeves were slightly
curved out, in bell fashion, at the
wrists and there was a smart little
waistcoat of invisible-blue ottoman
silk. On this waistcoat were several
rows of tiny buttons in silver and
dark green enamel.
In one of Redfern's latest creations
for the theater he shows curious
coat which seems half Russian blouse
and half ordinary jacket. slight
blouse effect was introduced under the
arms and over the bust, but there was
no ceinture and at the waist and over
the hips the coat fitted like a glove.
The material was black velvet and
both skirt and coat were trimmed with
handsome black silk braid Four
large revers were introduced on the
coat, those underneath being of velvet
and the others of shot silk which
showed shades of purple and blue
With this costume felt hat in the
Napoleon shape was worn and a big
granny muff of chinchilla was carried

At the Ritz recently beautiful
Russian, relative of the Grand Ouch
ess Vladimir, created a sensation by
entering the tea room in princess
robe of pure white ermine with an
enormous cape of black breitschwanz
edging with black fox. The wrap was
so long and voluminous that no part
of the dress underneath was seen, and
a perfectly fiat hat of black silk beav-
er, with a band of black fox round the
! low crown, was worn on the red
gold hair. 1t was a most striking
costume, and the only touch of color
was supplied by an enormous bunch of
violets worn at the breast.

velvet with long coat of sealskin
and a toque of breitschwantz trimmed
with mass Of black aigrettes, and
the Countess de Pourtales wore gray
velvet with a picturesque mantle OF

tered in rich fur wraps which were
permitted to fall from the shoulders
when tea was served.
