THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. €, MARCH 8 1925—PART 5. Choosing the Smart Spring Wrap From Among the Latest Models BY MARY MARSHALL. | INCE the world of fashion has gone slightly daft on the sub- | ject of ensembles, we can hardly Speak of coats and wraps of any sort as something having a sep- | arate entity. If you g6 to your milliner's to buy | a hat, You may be persuaded t frock, cape, scarf and handbag before you get away. The hat you select has all those little things to with it ivery frock has its coat wrap of some sort Doubtless bhefore long you will find some ingenious shoe dealer finding. it Imperative to sell fur wraps and pearl necklaces to go with pairs of shoes, or negliges and nightgowns as A trifling addition to be purchased with every pair of boudoir slippers. | Small wonder that women nowa- days find less opportunity than usual to buy what we used to speak of as the separate coat. Still, a coat is a coat, even though | 1t is linked up with a frock or & tai- lored suit. And perhaps. after all, the | fad for ensembles stimulates Interest | in coats { At Palm Beach and other Southern | resorts women have been seen wear- Ing wraps over their frocks even when | the weather did not demand it. The fact was that a certain wrap had | been bought to go with the frock. It | was part of the precious ensemble, | pparently had to be worn with it The well known French dressmak- | ers have certainly not neglected th outside wrap in their collections for Spring.

BY MR. MONK, One of the cases put into my hands by the chief of police was the finding of two little monkeys who had been do@g a lot of damage in the more prosperous parts of Jungleland setting fire to flats occupied by w lizards and other crawling crea- tures. However, with the aid of m magnifying glass I followed the mon- keys’ trail, only to find it ended near an elephant who seemed to be loiter- ing about. When I asked him if he'd by thy seen two monkeys he very rudely, and I Getting n answered, “No passed on satisfaction out of the elephant, and having come to the end of the trail, I decided to retrace my teps and report my fatlure to the chief of police. The chief, on seeing me, wanted to know where I'd put the prisoners. When I told him all about it he annoyed me by asking if I'd looked under the elephant's ears! I'm afraid 1 answered him rather sharply: “No, sir, of course not. What did you think I was looking for? I was after monkeys! e e I SE MORREIR T T o The Stealthy Tiger. MOST wild animals are specialists; that Is to say, they are highly developed in one particular direction. The tiger is great as a stalker. His feet seem to be shod with silence. A gentleman for many yvears a resident experience of one of this point He had beer® much annoyed by tigers, and at last tied a bullock out in & olearing and took up his position in & .tree to wait till the hould come after the bait. The | groul was covered with dried leaves, which in hot weather are so brittle | that even the walking of a bird over/ them can be heard for a good distance In no yvery long time a large tiger slipped out of the forest and sowly| edged toward the bullock. His method was 5o elaborate and careful that the man who saw it used to declare that it would have been worth a thousand | rupees to any young sportsman to| have witnessed it. So carefully did he put down each paw, and so gradually did he crush| the leaves under it, that not a sound | was to be heard. Between him and the bullock was a stump about four| feet high, with long, projecting sur- | face roots. This, piainly, the tiger| looks upon as a godsend, | He got upon one of the roots, bal- | anced himself carefully, and so was| able to walk quickly and sliently as| far as the stump.

HE pupil of a cat's eye ordinarily appears as a long, a straight, vertical black line. The animal seems to be looking through mere slits in the iris of its eye. cially arrow oval or when it faces the light. In | semi-darkness the pupil widens into a beautiful oval regard the narrowness of the pupil as the cat One is accustomed the distinguishing pecullarity eyes of cats. All animals of the share this peculiarity. And yet a scientific family according to the results of investigation of the cat's eye, made in England by Lindsay Johnson, the natural shape of tneir pupils is circular. By varying the quantity of light entering the eye he has seen the pupils of cats and tigers change from straight lines to perfect circles, and while under the influence of atropine, which suspends for a time the mus- cular control of the eye, they are al ways circular. The normal form of the cat's pupil then, the same as that of the human pupil, but when submitted to the influence of light its behavior dif- \fers. In a bright light our pupils be- come very small circles, while those of a cat turn into ovals or narrow slits. The general effect is the same in either case, namely, to distinguish the quantity of light passing into the eve. urfously enough, In the larger animals of the cat tribe, such tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves exactly like a human pupil, and when linear. In the case of domestic cat, the older the animal the more fre- brightly illuminated contracts into a minute eircle instead of becoming was too long 'the rope by which the bullock was|quently does the pupil of the eye as- sume a circular form.
