Color Combinations.

The soft velvet used in new evening wraps drapes gracefully, furnishing tich folds, that catch the light and shade with exquisite effect. Bmerhid and moss green age very pretty and do not soil easily. The linings are i fr

evitably of China crepe of a corresponding or contrasting color, but the corresponding shade is the more practical for those who have not a series of evening gowns, because with the gown of, one color, the velvet of the wrap another, and the lining a third, it is well nigh impossible, unless very great care is taken id choosing the shade, to form a thoroughly successful combination or harmony of color. Sometimes a fine plaiting of mousseline de sole is applied on to the extreme edge of the cldak inside, and only shows when 'the wrap Is thrown open or off, while at others a broad and beautiful lace runs down both fronts of the mantle, laid on plain and flat inside, and sometimes even decorates the entire hem of the evening wrap with luxurious effect.
