MY BACHELOR uncle George and l
| 1Vl have become real Chummv lately. Uncle
| George has made n nice little pile In stocks
this year. and yesterday he remembered
that mothers birthday is next week. and
| suggested that we get her something that
! would make her sCuld US for our eNtrav.
agauce.
told him that mother was still wearing
last years opera wrap, because she couldn't
afford to buy the kind she wanted
The thought Of giving mother genuine
surprise made him ChuckIc all the way to
the shop where the haudsomest wraps are
sold.
II was treat 10 see the assortment of
wonderful evening cloahs. TO use Uncle
Georges words, such things make winter
worth living 20 woman" | chose ten of
the IONeliest models and tried them on to
get an idea Of which would be becoming
to mother We are Of the same height and
coloring, only che Is stouter.
First paraded about in an elegant crea-
tloh OF Burgundy red velvet lined with pale
blue brocadcd satin. IT had a deep cane
collar of silver broCade edged with sable
ana the kmono sleeves were trimmed with
the same fur We both agreed that it was
TOO Nolu,ninOu5 for mother, as It would
make her appear "dumpy."
Uncle George was partial to a cape-lille
wrap OF moonlight blue velvet so [ tried
II on This model surely was poetic looking
The wide, flowing sleeves were cut I'm ono
with the bodice portion and hung in fun,
graceful lines to the hem Of the wrap, form
ing a cape at the back. A wide border of
silver embroidery outlined the sleeves and
hem, collar of sealskin buttoned high
aDout he ears, which Uncle George said
was Sensible" loved the lining of white
brocaded satin shot with silver threads
But, while this wrap was becoming to me,
we knew that mother would feel that she
looked too much dressed up in II.
The next wrap to catch my eye was one
or bronze tinsel cloth lined with purple
satin. The combination was extremely
rich and l was sure that mother would like
1t. Unlike most of the smart wraps this
season, this model had sleeves of a decided
type Wide bands of chlnchilla squirrel
formed the muif cuffs, the high collar and
the wide band about the hem.
The instant that slipped the next wrap
on, Uncle George said THAT Is the hest
one for Molly" II was made of silver
brocaded Burgundy red satin trimmed with
kolnsNy The satin, of that soft, supple
quality that hangs in deep folds, formed n
full, cape.like portion that was attached
to deep yoke Of the fur. Over this fell
a wide Cape-colur OF the fur. The lining
of white brocaded satin shot with silver
threads also pleased our tastes and il was
a case OF Took no further" We had found
,Nactly what we thought mother womId
like.
Uncle George left orders for the wrap
TO be delivered by special messenger at /
O'Clock on mothers birthday. lie will make
II a point TO drop in for luncheon and see
mother properly surprised" I've also told
Dad to be sure and come home early-he
is going to take mother to a matinee-so
that he will be lin on the doings." too.
