wraps. In putting one on it is only neo-
essary to fold it around the shoulders,
slip the arms through the elastic sleeve
straps and give each side slight pull to
settle the shoulder curves. From this
time, however, eternal vigilance is the
price of the wearer's good appearance.
1t is imperative that she shall hold her.
self straight, keep her shoulders down
and refrain from carrying any dislocat-
ing articles.
Even an umbrella if held in the arms
is apt to catch rib point under the cape,
giving it poke up on one shoulder that
produces really distressing deformity,
in appearance at least. A book or other
small parcel, unless very carefully and
evenly held, will bring about a similar
result The precision and immobility of
the coachman, whose style she borrows,
should be assumed by woman when she
puts on his cape.
In the matter of wearing dolmans and
short mantles there is still right and
wrong way. 1t is even more necessary
with these half fitting wraps that they
should be carefully adjusted and tidily
worn than with such as set more snugly.
Any one who has walked behind a
wearer whose dolman has slipped to one
side with most ungraceful effect because
the tape at the waist line has not been
securely tied, or who has watched a wo-
man in a half fitting mantle crouch down
in it, as she sits, until her shoulders and
back are in a bunch and she becomes a
mass of crumpled material, will attest
the truth of the preceding assertion. Dol
mans and all similar short cloaks should
be carefully, if loosely fitted, and their
wearers should be sure when they put
them on that their flowing lines fall
where such lines do fall in the contour
of the figure and not where snug trim
ness is to be expected.
The writer once heard a New York
woman say, in all seriousness, that no one
could be a genuine aristocrat and real
lady who did not possess camel's hair
shawl. Bearing this in mind the sub
ject of India draperies is approached
with becoming gravity. 1t seems, in
deed, almost heretical to hint that even
this patent of nobility admits of degrees
of grace in wearing. 1t is true, never
theless, that one matron in her valley of
Thibet looks like an apple woman wrap
ped in her wooden plaid, while another
folds the costly fabric around her shout
ders with stately grace. There are,
without doubt, innumerable ladies, gen.
uine aristocrats, too, in the best sense Of
the word, who have lived and died with
out owning square of camel's hair.
There is, though, not a single ungraceful
woman, of whatever birth or wealth, who
has ever worn the one or more she may
have had with distinction.
No garment of woman's robe is at
once SO quick and 30 sure test of her
figure and carriage, her gait and her
movement as shawl. If you have slop.

1t fits perfectly; if it is fringed or lace
trimmed the garniture falls in graceful
sweep; is it tailor made Jacket not a
wrinkle or fold mars its symmetry Of
outline. Then the intending purchaser
is got into it. 1t is skillfully adjusted to
her figure, and, conscious of observation
and criticism, she holds herself with all
care. The glamour, too, of the effect
she has just witnessed is upon her, and
she is to some extent under an optical de-
fusion.
She decides upon the purchase and
completes it. When she has worn the
garment few times she is surprised to
find it little Disappointing; before it is
discarded, she decides that it was never
suited to her, and it would go down in
the history of her wardrobe as "that
ugly coat" if, alas, its predecessors and
successors did not, so many of them, at
tain the same distinction. Much of this
is her own fault. 1t takes, it is true, ex-
perience born of judicious observation to
determine wherein the figure of the ''trier
on" usually well endowed by nature
and art, supplies deficiencies which exist
in the purchasers physique, but this is
not all. If it is not possible to furnish
the rounded outlines of the "poser," it is
at least simple to emulate her skill in ad-
justing the garment, in which lies good
share of the effect.
Watch women in the lobby of a church
or theatre and note how differently they
manage the putting on of their wraps.
Here is one wearing close fitting jacket.
She puts both arms into the sleeves at
once and with hitch and wriggle
works it up over the shoulders. Proba-
bly, the collar is turned under, and as
suredly the dress sleeves have crept up
to an uncomfortable distance during the
process. 1t takes more hitching to
remedy the first, and energetic, face red
denipg pulling to relieve the second con-
dition, and the woman finally walks on,
her jacket askew, her countenance bare
ly recovered from its distortion and her
composure generally ruffled.
But watch the woman just behind her
60 through the same ordeal! A quick
wind of handkerchief round the tight
fitting sleeve of her dress, holding mean
while the two ends firmly in the same
hand, and the arm goes easily into the
jacket quite to the shoulder. The hand
kerchief is then released and pulled out
and the operation repeated on the other
sleeve. The remaining arm hole of the
jacket, which at this time is folded half
across the back, is sought with deft
downward sweep of the hand, and in
twinkling the garment has settled into
place 1t scarcely needs a pull at the
throat before fastening, and its owner
has been laughing and talking with her

HOW TO WEAR AN INDIA SHAWL.
rises straight and free, and if you can
walk without settling first on one hip,
then on the other. by all means wear
your camel's hair. Otherwise drop it on
your carriage cushions, toss it across the
chair of your opera box, throw it over
the sofa of your morning room or hang
it as portiere in your oriental parlor-
anything to display it except to put it
about your own form for street wear.
When it is SO worn, however, it should
be folded, not quite double, although
sufficiently SO to be sure to clear the
ground in the case of a full sized shawl
or an understood wearer-a combination
not uncommon. One or two loose plaits
in the center of the fold, held easily in
place by pin whose use must not be
betrayed by sight or effect, affords
hollow for the neck curve; when the
shawl is put about the figure the wearer
must manage to gather its extra fullness
over her shoulders and in her arms in
such fashion as to give the combined
appearance of stability and carelessness.
1t is the success of this final individual
wrapping which accentuates a woman's
right to put on the garment at all.
tits pleasure to pass from these try
ing wraps, whichin point of fact are only
desirable when they reach the priceless
stage of being fine enough to draw
through wedding ring, to the exquisite
sortie du bal in which a woman cloaks
herself for an evening reception or
night at the opera. 1t is almost impos-
sible not to look ones best in the beauti-
full garments, with their rich texture,
delicate coloring and soft, fluffy trim
mings of lace, feathers or fur, but, as
many diamonds may be sparkling and
only one f1awless, SO it is permitted but
rarely to see every latent charm of one
of these exquisite creations brought out
by lovely and skillful wearer.
A woman should fit her treatment of
a garment to its occasion and personnel.
A Macintosh may be adjusted stolidly
and without sentiment as disagreeable
necessity, but cloak with which one
covers one lovely toilet to stand forth in
another, possibly lovelier, deserves more
consideration. A set of rules in this re-
gard must not be thought of. Watch
beautiful woman rise in her opera box
and draw about her with languid grace
the loose slipping mantle which shaf
conceals, half discloses" the charms be-
meath, and if you are woman and get
no inkling of the way it is done, be sure
you can never do it.
