, model with trimming Of white fox. The
wrap Is exceedingly full across the
shoulders and outstretched arms, but
tapers sharply inward below the knee.
When the arms are dropped the fullness
falls in long. graceful folds, which do
not. however. interfere in the least with
the narrow effect at the foot. This wrap
comes from Callot Soeurs, whose evening
wraps are without rivals for beauty and
charm. The Cabot wrap is built of white
satin brocade. lined with shirred lilac
chiffon over pale pink satin. The band
of black velvet caught at the left hip
with a pearl ornament, gives an en-
phatic and individual touch. Bands of
snow-white fox fur border the bottom of
the wrap and the sleeves This beautiful
white wrap accompanies a white gown,
worn with buttoned boots of white suede.

The MuriIlo wrap is another Paris

November trousseau. The Murillo wrap Is
enormously full over the shoulders. anGs
a long fold of the material is Topped
loosely to form a deep hood, which hangs
below the hips at the back. AT the front
the folds are drawn upward and forward
and caught under Il double clasp or duli

of geranium -colored velvet lined with
white satin, the white satin showing IN
the deep loop at the back.
There is a decided fancy for Red
Riding Hood evening wraps Just at the
moment, and good proportion OF the
Paris models are in geranium, flame or
new deep-toned red called dahlia, which
is enormously fashionable. These bril-
liant wraps are, OF course. exceedingly
striking, but one or two of them in an
assemblage of fainter tints are very
pleasing What the effect will be IL

who may possess but one or, at most, two
evening wraps had best refrain from put

liant red garment.
If one can afford it, fur is the trim

and mauve, shirred thickly to produce a
rich heavy effect. The wrap is lined also

tassels are Of dull gold and hang from

The fur-trimmed wrap is by Beer and
is a new yoke model of gold and green
brocade with green and gold cord and
tassels. A skunk collar and cuffs tone
down the brilliant coloring Of the wrap.
Another Beer wrap of green plush has
panel Of gold lace down the back out
lined with bands of skunk and an enor-
nous collar of the skunk falls over the
shoulder and forms a single rever caught
under a dull gold clasp at the left hip.
There are very smart three-quarter

taxi or limousine, these wraps being

red puffings A cape of this kind, made
of gold-colored benga1ine with bands of
box-pleated chiffon over cording, was worn
last week over a smart bridge costume OF
tobacco brown, draped over with tunic
of embroidered crepe de chine, also In the

bronze buttons and Louis heels accompa-
MED the costume, WHICH was made COM

handsome hat and in the hands is car

and perhaps ones winnings.

Poiret has brought into fashion.
