er the fashion oflthe parade cloak OF
%apoIeon's Life aGuards, is another
novelty that bidsAfair to nave an eX-
traordinary vogue.
The cloak, which is called the to-
ieador cape, has a wide turnover col
lar of Roman striped silk, and is
lined with chiffon of various pastel
bues, such as pale mustard, VleuX
rose, etc.
Except for these general character
istics the new fashions appear TO
leave much scope for individual tastes,
and freaks promise to be as plentiful
as ever this year.
Revised Harem skirts.
A revised edition of the harem
skirt is popular among Well-dressed
women to-day. 1t is the ordinary
skirt very tight at the hem, but when
the wearer walks it becomes appar-

separate openings pinned in soft
rolls. This device gives greater lib

A fiutter of excitement was caused
by the appearance of a smart look

mask in the fashion of Venice in the
paImy days of the republic. She
strolled about leisurely, wearing the
most daring directoire gown ever
seen on Paris race course.
In its general lines it eXemplified
The tendency of to-morrow's fashions,
inasmuch as it had V-shaped open

skirt revealed chiffon tango carriers,
which appeared to be making frantic
efforts to meet about the high waist
of the wearer An 1880 bonnet of
ivory silk, trimmed with small silk
roses, secured by white ribbons I'M
der the chin, and a tall cane, complet-
ed the old world picture.
Jewels Stuck to Skin.
The greatest novelty in jewels is to
wear unmounted stones actually
stuck to the skin of the neck by
means Of a special adhesive prepa-
ration. A single large diamond or
ruby as the only adornment of a low
cut afternoon gown is very effective
and seems to be the acme of elegance
Just now
Hats are all small, generally of
plaid silk, with a single high orna-
ment in front. Quilts are in favor.
Whole small birds arranged around
the crown form the only trimming of
straw hats of sober hue. Flowers
made of glass, either white or in
soft shades, are worn and are well
come substitute for wild birds feath-
