Pania, November" 27th. Evening cloaks become more and mort sumptions avery year, despite the state of the budget and the alarm cries of interna- tional politicians; they also become more and more voluminous.
Velret, of course, is the material par excellence for the fashioning of cloaks and wraps destined exclusively for evening wear, next in popularity being furlined with velvet. Of the furry kingdom, ermine is more to be desired than any other, either a covering or as trimming in the erening. When the price of this renders is prohibitive, white rabbit or white monkey is made to take its place. An idea launched early in the season was that of ayed white rabbit, monkey and goats far, but the effect of this was inclined to be rather too startling, and it has not caught on to any great extent; it is seen, but generally worn by women who aim at creating an effect that is startling and bizarre rather than one which is purely elegant and in good taste. Besides, s white fur of this kind is dyed a vivid grnas green more often than any other shade, It is found to be too trying to wear, by the "majority.

Another is in steel cloth trimmed with huge flowers woven in bright yellow and orange shades. Jean Patou is showing one in scarlet velrat with an enormous skunk collar that hides the face when it is buttoned up, and long loose panels at the side edged with deep bands of the same fur. Another in black has rich embossed silver and green embroidery worked all over it; this coat, also, has a deep skunk collar.

A novelty which is catching on is the gauatelet glove made to match the shade of the dress with which it is to be worn, and embroidered in the same stitch and with the same design as that which figures on the dress.

Another norsity is the glove that is trimmed with repousse work to match the work of this kind which figures on the hand-bag, but this has not yet reached beyond the stage of being a new fad which might or might not became general.
For those who "prefer quiet fashions, nothing is so becoming as the cloak made of black velvet or black velvet brocade. This can be lined with a bright-coloured lining, if the wearer is willing to make this concession to the dictates of fashion, or else with velvet or satin in an ivory shade. For those who like something oven quieter than velvet and also something which will keep thom warm without running to the extreme of a fur covering, there are cloaks made of thick matelassé lifed with duretyn.
