THE loose-hanging ample capelike
Il wraps. from plain capes to
draped dolmans that We're worn in rich
furs and fabrics during the winter
months made a strong appeal to wom-
en- who dress smartly. They proved
very graceful and becoming and eS-
ceeded coats in elegance. even when
coats were made of the same mate
rials. They grew In popularity and it
followed that wraps for wear at the
Southern resorts and for evening or
formal afternoon dress in the spring,
have been designed on the same lines.
At the resorts capes in both quiet
and lively colors and of many kinds of
materials are noticeable on women
who dress with distinction. Some of
them refuse to dispense with fur In
collars or bands and one may see
capes of duvetyn in dark orchid or
purple tones with marten collars. or of
deep-rOse color embroidered in gray

years the revenue obtained from these
two forests has increased fourfold.
while the actual net amount now re-
ceived for every hundred bambOOs
is more than double what was previ-
ously paid by way of royalty.
In the Punjab the telling season for
bamboOs is comparatively short
one. Operations do not commence
much before October and have to be
completed by the end of January. al
though another months work can be
got In between May Is and June 10.
There are thus only five months in the
year in which feelings can be made,
the reason being that stems felled ut
any other time of the year are very
liable TO be attacked by the bamboo
borcr. small insect which eats away
the inside of the stem and renders 1t
useless for anything. TO fell more
than million stems during five
months requires, however, large
amount of labor. Fortunately, there
Is II fairly large local population In
the neighborhood of these forests who.
being for the most part agriculturists.
have little to do In their fields during
the winter months. When the work
is in full swing as many us 800 or 400
men are employed on Telling alone.
How the Bamboo Is Handled.
For Telling a primitive form of BILL
hook is used, which Is extremely use
full for getting among the crowded
stems at the base of the clump, though
in unskillful hands n great deal of
damage may be done to other shoots
In the clump. The bnmboos. having
been felled, are next roughly dressed
of their side shoots and tops. and are
then tied into bundles of five, ten or
twenty according to size. For the
time being these bundles are thrown
out on the compartment lines, but Mt
the close of the days work are collect
ed together and carried on the coolies
heads to the forest depots. Here those
which are to be manufactured. that Is.
fired and Strengthened, are put on one
side, while the others which are to
be marketed green nre loaded into
carts and sent off to the sale depot
at the railhead.
Making up the green bamboos into,
maybe, tent poles or lance slaves Is
by far the most Interesting part of
the work in these bamboo forests.
The first stage In making up is care
fully to clean OFF all the knots. This
Is usually done by gang of small
boys armed with sharp adzes. They
soon become clever at this work and
rarely spoil bamboo by making
bad shot and damaging the skin. The
poles are then cut to length, according
to the purpose for which they are re-
quired and handed over to the skilled
worlimen, known as kamnggars, for
Strengthening. Each pole is now put
through hot wood fire. This not
only makes it supple, but also gives
1t a rich brown color, and by melting
the dirty waxy covering gives 1t
clean and highly polished appearance.
After this all curves are removed by
bending the stem with some force In
an opposite direction. The instru-
ments used for this are either an up
right pole planted in the ground. with
slanting holes bored through it to take
the bamboos, or small implement
held In the hand. which is used only
for small stems and delicate work.
such as lance slaves.
