NOVEL DESIGN FOR CLOAKS

Peculiar Bcheme of Draping Is One .of __ the Most Effective in Many Seasons. The season excuses the appearance of beautiful cloaks. But they must not be more ponderous than a double layer of mousseline and brocade* crepe will make them, in obedience to the charming device fashion now extols, though to give them substance —ln other word w, to hold -the fairylike material together—a rouleau of fur is a resource. In form the fur rather resembles.a cobra embracing its victim, but the beauty of the peltry and cloudy mous- 1 seline in juxtaposition is undeniable. Lovely schemes of coloring can he; evolved, such as dried rose and pistachio green, with the green uppermost. The fur should be fox, skunk or ermine, and if fox is used two or three skins will be mounted and placed in effective positions. A cloak seen recently—a black mousseline one picked out with colored Jet very beautifully patternedhad one white fox flung over the whoulder and across the back, with the mask on the shoulder and the brush on one hip, while cozily round the throat was a second skin.
