WOMAN OF FASHION.
Wears a Loose, Flowing Mantle
Over Her Shoulders.
1T COVERS UP BAD FIGURES.
Broad Collars Dress Up Simple Gowns
sun Bonnets Stylish for Women
With Small, Regular Features.

NEW YORK, Aug. A-[Special Aside
from the convenient little blazer which
every woman has in her wardrobe, il
would seem as if the dictates of fashion
forbade anything that was not loose and
flowing in its outlines. All the maptles.
capes and mantlettes, as we'll as the collar
capes are long and loose, enveloping the
figure IN mass of folds and completely
hiding it.
OF course, fashion like this is the de-
light of women with bad figures, and for
the time being they find themselves able to
put on very fashionable ap-
pearance. When il was the style
to wear long, tight-ftting coats.
they were in despair because the
coats were SO trying that they found that
by no amount of cunning work could the
modIste make bad figure appear like
good one.
But with the long, loose cape all this is
different. A woman may have a baggy
figure. bulky waist, arms as shapeless as
sausages and a scraggy neck. or what is
much worse, athick-set neck, and yet when
she puts on one Of these enveIoping capes,
she appears as stylishly draped and as
shapely as the woman who has figure
like Medici.
Women with very pretty figures are dis
gusted at the turn that fashion has taken
and are doing all they can to circumvent
1t with little articles. One of their latest
Is such cunning idea that it is worth call
ing to the notice of every woman with
pretty shape
1t Is dignifed by being called a mantle,
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-08-30

although it is so diaphanous and filmy that
il is scarcely worthy the name. 1t is ever
so pretty, though, and many women will
like to copy it, because it wells the dress,
giving the appearance of wrap, without
concealing at all the beauties of the figure
or the bodice. 1t is made of two deep lace
flounces. The under fiounce falls from
the collar down to a point halfway be-
tween the waist and the knees. The Sec
ond hounce is likewise joined to the collar,
but it extends only well down over the
shoulders. Any kind of filmy lace may
be used, and, if so desired, the lace may
be beaded.
If this is done the mantle is held Sin
place and does not blow about with each
motion of the wearer or at the slightest
wind, but it is not as light, or as filIny. so
treated, and consequently it is not a great
fayorite for the summer.
The mantle is supplied with very high
Medici collar. which is likewise of lace and
is supported by tine invisible wire. The
entire collar Is made upon a wire frame
work which is put together IN the same
fashion as are the delicate wire frames
which are used as a foundation for lace
toques. If desired, the collar can be lined
with some shade of fine summer silk, such
as is so popular this summer for lining
capes, collars and wraps.
The mantle is supplied with ribbon
strings. These may be tied in large bow
at one side, leaving the mantle open to
display the front of the bodice. When so
done the mantle i3 in the style of Charles
TX. and the wearer will find that her
neck arrangement will resemble the old
court pictures of the lords and ladies who
surrounded Charles when the latter held
high festival. If desired, the strings may
be tied closely in knot and the Medici
collar can be persuaded to curve outward
little TO accommodate the wearer's neck
and chin.
These very deep collars are becoming to
women of all styles. When first they came
in vogue it was supposed that they would
not become popular with women afflicted
with too great ensbonpOint, but 70 the sur
prise of even such dressmakers as Worth
and Felix, these collars have proved 70 be
becoming and have consequently grown
into favoritism with women of all styles.
Another summer cape which has become
the summer woman ideal, because it wells
her dress without concealing it, consists of
three deep lace fiounces instead of two. In
this case the ffounces were sewed on
ground work of black net. one founce

would manifest if caravan made its adj
vent. The appearance of each exquisitely
eoSned woman causes ripple through
the throng, and the wonderful cascade of
bugle notes is greeted with enthusiasm.
Finally, when the show is over, the crowd
disperses slowly, as if loath TO leave the
orbit of pleasure about which it revolves so
Nmotely.
