Velvet Cloth Coats.

Some of the new Marlborough coats made of “velvet cloth” are so handsomely decorated that they are wholly appropriate for dress wear. The “velvet cloths” are particularly elegant They have a velvetlike finish and are as fine grained as satin, and the new weaves show colors in Danish and amaranth red, Cleopatra brown of tawny oast, an attractive blue green and a beautiful greenish blue, copper brown deeper than the Cleopatra dye, gray fawn and hunter's green. The richest of these coats are lined with figured satin, and the revers and cape collar are bordered with a oostly passementerie made to represent elaborate bead and silk braid work.
