SATIN AND TAFFETA MANTLES

Decided Vogue la Apparent for These Tailor-Made and Attractive Garments. To replace the tailor-made for afternoon and visiting wear, there will be a great vogue in long, soft satin and taffeta mantles. These are quite straight and for the most part unlined and, when not expressed in black, are carried out in strict harmony with the gowns. Large square revers, allied to equally large square* shaped collars, figure on an appreciable number of models. And by way of breaking the monotony of an all-black scheme the revere are oftentimes faced with some color, such as bishop's purple, peony or a Pekin silk is pretty. But always are these contrasts veiled in black chiffon. That seems for the moment to be a hard and fast decree. * Fringe also plays its part, and the mantles in their entirety are being regarded by a large fraternity of women as a veritable boon for filling the anxious hour pending the definite acthe proposed fresh modes and styles.
