The hood is flat, trimmed with lace, and, forming a pelerine, falls over the shoulders when worn out of doors with a bonnet. With the hood raised over the head, as shown in our Illustration, this mantle will be very convenient for evening rambles in the country, or at the seaside'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
