Our first illustration shows two of the reigning winter and autumn
styles, namely, the three-quarter jacket, and the strapped cape, with
bands of cloth piped with scarlet silk. The figure on the left wears
a tailor-made and beautifully-fitting jacket of grey cloth, which is
braided with a darker grey braid over bands of paler grey cloth, the
lines running longitudinally from the top of the collar to the edge of
the jacket. The skirt is of plain cloth of the same tone of grey as the
jacket. The latter is lined with orange silk. The toque is of orange
velvet, with cream-coloured lace, and feathers and wings of orange and
black.

The second figure in the illustration wears a black cloth cape, lined
with scarlet silk, and piped with the same at each side of the wide
cloth bands, which make the decoration of the cape. These bands are
tapered gradually round the fronts and up the sides, where they are
crossed with ornamental straps which fasten the cape in front. The
collar is high, and is piped and lined with scarlet. The hat is of
straw, with scarlet and black velvet, and black feathers at one side,
and scarlet and black rosettes below the brim at the back and sides.
The next illustration consists of a single figure only, who wears one
of the new jackets of the winter, the material of which is dark green
cloth, braided in black, and edged with caracul fur. The new feature
in this jacket is the flounce of cloth of about eight inches in depth,
which is placed round the edge, and which is also trimmed with fur.
The hat is of white felt, with trimmings of green velvet, and green
feathers; and the dress worn is of green cashmere, with green velvet
trimmings.
The group of three figures fully displays one of the most stylish of
the season's confections, two views being given of it, a front and
a back one, on the figures which stand on the right and left. This
jacket is of cloth, tight-fitting, and of three-quarter length, with
the fronts rounded to the bands at the waist. It is trimmed with
bands of fur, and with cloth bands of a lighter colour, which taper
towards the waist in front, and on the bodice are arranged so as to
simulate an Eton jacket. The seated figure shows one of the new tunics.
The material is of dark blue cloth, and the tunic is cut to reach a
little below the knee. The bodice is open in front to show a vest of
apricot-coloured velvet which has white lace _motifs_ on it. The tunic
and the _revers_ of the bodice are edged with bands of astrachan, which
is laid on apricot velvet, edged and overlaid with fancy braiding in
black. There is a large collar high at the back, which is bordered in
the same manner, and lined with black velvet. The edge of the skirt
is trimmed with bands of astrachan, which are put on to match the
battlements of the tunic.
