Jackets and Capes.


The modish cape of the season CORE
spends either with the hat, bonnet or
toque or with the gown with which it
Is worn Even the cape of fur is no ex-
ception. Either the gown worn with it
is trimmed with corresponding bands
of fur or it appears as a part of the
garniture of the headgear. Just why
Dame Fashion has Disseminated in
favor of the jacket, which is worn indie
pendently, as it was last season, with
out reference to hat or frock, does not
appear However, the fact remains,
and while the cape unrelated by re-
Semblance to any other part of the cos
tune is still worn, it is not regarded as
strictly good form. A chic and elegant
cape with capote to match is worn The
cape is of Russian D1ue vicune cloth
striped in gold yellow and bordered
with blue velvet the shade of the cloth.
On each side of the front is broad band
of gold passementerie. About the neck
of the cape is a full ruffie of soft lace
which extends down the front forming
fichu and plastron. The capote is of
blue velvet on which is appliqued gold
passementerie like that which orna-
ments the cape. About the edge of the
capote is ruche of blue black ostrich
feathers, and French heads of the same
shade with blue aigrette form the trim
ming. Chicago Post

Forest and Stream saws that at
Woods Holl, Mass, some years ago a
great many sharks were cut open to as
certain the nature of their food and in
ternal parasites, and in some cases the
contents of the abdomen were removed
entirely. 1t was supposed that such
rough surgery would kill them; but
some of the eviscerated specimens were
seen swallowing food after the opera
ton as readily as if nothing had hap
pened.
