suit Of the beating he received at the

Velvet and velveteen are to be used again this winter in the compo- sition of comfortable and handsome outer wraps.

They are, how. ever, only suitable for wearing over short skirts which do not need hold. ing up, and even so they are apt to be in the way on muddy days, for 1t Is very difficult to cleanse mud stains from velvet
 On the other hand, they frequently save the trouble of changing the dress. since they lend sufficiently afternoon appearance to the figure even when they are worn over com paratively plain costumes. They also form an admirable background for furs, with a glimpse of lace at the throat.
 A smart model has turned-back collar of sailor shape not extended in long revers to the waist, which forms a pleasant change On the waist line it is fastened by motif of folded black velvet and braid and to this fastening 1t is drawn slightly up in fullness from the right to the left side. This gives it very up-to-date air for anybody who has the patience to be eternally brushing.
