Saved His Life and His Rupees.

by the sudden rush of water, made his
way onto a mound, where he was
quickly isolated The water rose and
the bankers legs were covered to his

Shortly after the water began to re-

TWO Charming Wraps.

The most stunning fur wrap of the
moment for dress occasions, and the
one that will hold its own until time
to discard heavy wraps, is the direc-
toire cape of seal. The ends, front and
back run into decided points, and the
sleeves are formed by clever drapings
of the cape caught under the arm with
a pass cmenterie button and loop. The
neck is complet d with a band of
handsome embroidery done on bright
green satin.
Another charming wrap of directoire
persuasion is of Hudson bay sable,
with the skins matched to give a
striped effect. Short wide sleeves,
ending with deep turned-back cuffs,
fall over long undersleeves of lace
frills over cream-colored satin. There
is no collar attached to this sumptuous
garment, and the neck opening is "V'
shape, crossing the bust and closing
with three large metal buttons.

Do not use this treatment too often,
