Out in front of the. hollow stump
bungalow was Uncle Wiggily's auto
mobile. He had put on it a new
turnip steering wheel. and he was
thinking of going for a ride. when
Nurse Jane Fuzzy wuzzy came out
on the front stoop and said:
Here's the pepper caster. Mr..
Longears."
Pepper caster? What do want

The bunny rabbit gentleman took
the pepper caster from the muskrat
lady. but still he did not get in his
auto and take ride. Instead he
sat down on bench in front of his
bungalow. and he let the sun shine
through his whiskers and on his
pink. twinkling nose.

So he took some soft cushions ont

answered Mr.. Longears, not even
bothering to open his eyes, he was

New York City.-The demand for
the dolman wrap goes merrily on. and
It is difficult to determine, from the
number Of dolman wraps and the
capes. which. too, are a great favor
ite with the women. which of these
two types of garments is the most
popular. However. after viewing the
women on the Boardwalk at Atlantic
City, 1 came to the conclusion that
for street wear the cape was to be
the big success Of the season. There
were, of course, great numbers OF dol
mans. but the majority were OF fur.
During the disagreeable weather. the
dolman was far more numerous. and
was, without doubt the accepted
wrap for motoring. The warmth and
the comfort of this sort of wrap make
it appealing for such occasions.
From the extreme styles as shown
earlier in the season, where there was
considerable drapery at the sides, the
newest models appear less full. and
there seems to be a marked tendency
toward a narrowed effect as is shown
in the illustration of today.
This coat has the large sleeve which
is identified in our minds as belonging
to the dolman. but the lines of the
coat are kept very straight. The panel
at the front and back accentuate this
straigh. effect. The collar. too. abets
in the same way. The material used
to make this coat Is velour OF a gray
shade. The inset on the sleeves. which
is of the material Is trimmed on either
side with buttons covered with the
velour. The small collar which frames
the face is of natural colored pongee.
The small sailor hat worn with this
coat Is of straw with a crown of silk.
an ostrich feather is placed at the
back.
