Dressy Nantes.

Dressy mantles for church, visiting
and driving are made quite short in the
back, scarcely covering the tournure,
are very high and full on the shoulders,
and only medium height in front. Ia
some of these there are elbow sleeves,
but most have the high-shouldered
wing-like sde-pieccs shaped over the
arms or with arm-hole Sits in them;
some of these nantes are scarcely
larger than the shoulder capes worn
during the summer, while others have
scarl-like shape The fabric of which

cork to make them light. There are
also many of the sleek chenille fringes
called rat-tail fir nge, and sometimes
two or three thit kntsSCs OF chenille are
employed in the same fringe. For gay
