med with thick silver cord and white
ostrich tips finishes this dainty cos
tune.

in rich, warm, golden-brown, moss
green, or royal-purple velvet. The
quaint, deep cape, with its very high
shoulders, crosses just at the waist,
where it is fastened with three big
steel buttons or wide steel buckle.
At the throat there is a rundown
collar, and the V-shaped opening. of
the cape shows vest of velvet, fasten-

at the waist line, where the skirt full
ness is made by four deep plaits.
The wide-brimmed hat is of the same
shade of velvet as the cloak, and is
trimmed with ostrich feathers of con-
trasting shade.

and dried and is then so hard and
tough that decay is impossible and no

bits and boiled very long time; and
in it's best estate is about as tender and
