HAVE AN 0LD-FASHIONED AIR
Styles In Mantles Have Gone Back TO
Those Popular With Our Grand
mothers.

The old world fabrics have aided In
producing the real old.fashioned air
in the prettily draped nantes Of silks
and chiffonS and fascinating nets.
with stlff little punches Of flowers
scattered over the filmy surface. A
thin China silk or chiffon, matching
in tone one OF the flowers, may be
used as a lining. the color glimmering
through the creamy yelling In a most
artistic manner. On some OF the more
unusual nantes the designs are de-
veloped on a coarse net in crewels.
These nantes are very vague In
outline, being wound or wrapped
around the figure with the fullness
falling between the shoulders and the
knees. The sleeves-when there are
sleeves-are Of kimono cut. or at least
are kimono at the top. with hint
OF the bishop sleeve at the cuff. Quite
as often there are no sleeves, Sits In
the goods serving as an opening. or
drapings failing In such way that the
arms may be released. Some Of the
nantes are fastened at the waist
line. even lower at one side. and 9th.
ers are wound around the figure and
held up in the front in a seemingly
careless fashion. There Is a certain
informality to this latter style which
seems to appeal for the latest models
for winter are arranged in this way.
the fastening-if there is one. mot be-
ing noticeable.
The feature OF the new nantes
which are heralding the styles for fall
is the collar. according to a New
York Tribune writer. There is no at
tempt at fitting In the collar. After
the many. many years when the lit OF
the collar made or marred the gar
ment, It is a bit startling to learn that
the collar would not fit. The bunchier,
thicker and clumsier the collar Is, the
smarter the wrap becomes. Natural
ly, 1t gives a very thickset look to the
back OF the neck. The effect can be
produced in fur very easily, and.
strange to relate, 1t does not look as
clumsy in the fur. One naturally ex'
poets a fur collar to be thickset. The
new fur collars are straight pieces OF
the fur which very often only cross
the back OF the wrap. Occasionally
they roll toward the front and join
a band of fur that is used to outline
the edges.

Uncomfortable Cat.

There is just one animal man has
never conquered. never can conquer.
Centuries ago every other beast be-
came the slave OF man or else fed
far from human habitation. One and
one only refused to fee or to submit.
This only exception to world OF
servants and OF scared enemies is the
domestic cat. When some animals be-
came mans slaves and others fed
from him, the cat did neither. 1t
simply took all the favors and ad-
vantages man had to offer, and refused
to do one lick Of work in exchange.
Beat a dog and he will fawn on you.
Beat cat and 1t will attack you and
then desert you. You can't conquer
the cat. You can't make 1t work.
