BLACK VELVET COATS
The vogue for smart little coatees of black velvet worn with a black velvet skirt and a silk blouse of any delicate or pale colour is rather an economical, as well as distinctive, fashion, and is proving popular with many women. There is a ceremonial air about velvet that is apt to make the woman of quiet tastes hesitate, but she need not fear, for coats and skirts, long coats, and. frocks for afternoon and evening in velvet have been admitted into the very innermost circles of fashion.'
Black for some reason is most acceptable just now, but nigger, grey, Russian green, and mulberry velvets have a lovely sheen. For evening, the black velvet coatee is most becoming with any tone of colour.
