Nantes and Jackets.

Mantles are always difficult to choose,
but there is a great variety TO tempt pur-
chasers. The best are three-quarter length
with high shoulders and collar Some of
the newest have yokes of velvet or fur in
PRODUCED
Broche velvets will be a good deal worn
as the season advances, and all the cloaks
are cut on the cross. This cross cutting
adds to the amplitude of the folds.
Sicilierne is frequently blended with vel
vet and sable tail. Handsome shot silk
Innings are used, and for evening wear very
light cloths are trimmed principally with
white Tibet goat, and richly embroidered
in small pearl beads and a id thread. For
travelling there is good deal of solid COM
fort in the ample wooden check cloaks,
which have detachable capes, cut on the
cross, descending almost to the knee.
The Jackets are most of them of the high
wayman order, with big flap pockets and
deep gauntlet cuffs These have a waist
coat and outstanding collar. There are
jackets in black CLOTH embroidered in black
and gold and jackets in fancy cloth elabo-
rately braided. Cloth covert coats with
their loose fronts and high rundown collar
afford pleasing variety.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1891-11-06

Some Of the new capes are shaped on the
shoulders and high collars are almost uni
versal. Many OF the cloaks are drawn in
to the figure at the back, and some have a
couple OF piaits, which take away from the
apparent width at the waist. The great
recomme ndation of the waterproofed gar
ments of the present day is that they are
becoming as well as useful In the cut are
shown two new styles. One is of dust col
