WRAPS.
The very prettiest evening wraps are made oi pale-toned shot moires, with fur collars, and lined with satin. One of these is shot pink and faAvn, and is lined with " ashes of rose " satin. The collar is ermine, and two of the little tails depend from it in front, each bearing at the neck a Avide silver shell-shaped clasp, the one on the right side being furnished with a liberal hook, that on the left with a corresponding eye. The silver is antique, dating from Louis Quinze, and is, therefore, almost as valuable as the dainty cloak itself.
Another delightful eA-ening Avrap is in pink and. blue shot moire, with a sable collar, and the fronts edged and lined with similar fur. For girls, plush wraps are prepared for evening wear. One of these is in the purest white, lined with blush pink, and supplied with a hood and high collar of mirror blush pink A*elvet. This hood is a practicable one, and can be draAvn over the head when necessary. Silver cords tie in into tightness sufficient to retain it protectively about the face, and anything prettier than its effect when the wearer is young and beautiful can scarcely be imagined.
