material must vary in texture according to the
purposes for which such garment is intended.
For the purposes of a travelling cloak You must

enough not to wrinkle and draw out OF shape
under the slightest provocation. Cheviots. pom
gees, surahs, silk mixtures, mohalrs, all answer

cut it will have a sloucby look. Those who
don't care for style may content themselves

and yet is charmingly simple, consisting of
black wooden batiste trimmed with mauve silk
ribbons, the shoulder cape imparting a finish
quite in keeping with travelling costume, OF
course, the material may be almost infinitely
varied, both as to color and texture and the
style preserved, for after all, It is largely Ques

skin deep. but style goes through one side and
comes out the other:
