BETWEEN-SEASONS MODES.

Black satin is to be “the tiling’’ for lr‘t wi'cn-sensoii and spring costumes, blouse cunts, and short, loose coats to war over odd skins, and the choice is a wise one, for black satin is won ,lei fu! 1 y becoming, while nothing more useful or dressy can be suggested.than the suit made of this soft, lustrous material. What, indeed, could be more alluring than the beautiful costume sketched, which is one of tile new models, made of the softest and richest quality of jet-black satin? The skirt is slightly

N«. 117. draped at the left side, where the point of the drapery- exceeds the hem of the skirt, and the long, graceful coat, with its pagoda sleeves is brightened by the ini reduction of a waistcoat of Oriental embroidery that extends below the waist-line. At the neck is a fur collar, and the open ends of the sleeves reveal linings of champagne-coloured soft silk, matching the ground of the embroidery on the waistcoat. This costume should, when worn, be set off by champagne-coloured stockings and black patent leather shoes.

Illustrated with it is one of the new Spring hats of black satin, fitting smartly oil the head and showing the crossed brim effect that is fashionable.

Somewhat similar in offect to the costume sketched is another charming, new satin model, made with draped skirt stitched to a jumper-top of Paisley silk. The coat is after the fashion of the one illustrated, but without- the waistcoat, the parted fronts, united by a wide strap of satin across the chest, displaying the front of the jumper, the neck of which is cut to a point and turned back with small revers.

Very charming are the new blousecoats of black satin. These are either gathered to or cut in one with deep bands that start at the -waist and end just above the hips. With these little coats, as with those of sac character, the cross-front line of fastening is adopted as often as not, and edgings of marabout give a pretty finish.

Pelisse-coats of black satin, with plain bodices and gathered skirts, arc other out-door fashions for the Spring and between seasons wear.*
