She Has at Last Made a Cape That
Will Keep a Woman Warm
Her Other Whims.

Boas Of all kinds and lengths are very
fashionable. but Like great many lovely
hings the fashion Of wearing them is
carried to extremes. It's all well enough
TO see a tail woman wear long one
which just escapes her feet: but when
her little plump sister, who is bound to
have everything ns long IS it is Stylish =
trots along, lifting the ends as she does
her dress on rainy day. the effect is
ridiculous and sometimes even pitiful
IL women would only learn that to be
stylish is not TO wear everything that is
displayed in fashion bazaars or store
windows, but to wear what suits one s
own individuality.
There Is undoubtedly a great deal IN
wearing gown of one color. It gives 3
continued unbroken effect which ID
heightened By having the nat Of the
same color. One Of the loEeliest eos
TUNES which / saw recently was entirely
OF soft gray. The material was not ex-
peBsive but good aud chung TO the tigHre..
The skirt could not have been made more
plainly. In fact the. secret OF the beauty
of the costume lay Ia It's simplicity and
exquisite finish. The waist WAS cut with
long tabs in the back, and the severity Of
the front relieved by two revers about
two and one-nalf inches at the shoulder,
tapering TO about an Inch at the waist
line. A narrow vest between the two
revprs was of chiffon, exactly the sha de
of the gown. AL the waist line a piece
was added which buttoned over on the
left side with dull, silver buttons. The
sleeves were very plain aud the gloves
matched the costume perfectly The
bonnet was of the same material as the
vest. and on it had the only contrasting
color. the loveliegt shade of green, in
leaves and velvet strings.
WINTER WRAPS.
The recent cold snap. through its very
unexpectedness. caught many OF MS I'M
awares. Who would have thought that
one would need heavy winter wrap In
the days which should have tempted us
outdoors with Indian summerS But the
sharp winds have reminded rs that fnrs
aud heavy wraps are needed to combat
them. At last sensible fur caDe has
been made, one that viii keep the arms
warm and reach below the waist Hns4
What insanity WAS it that made the short,
sleeveless Que SO popular even in the cold
est weather. It WIS well enough TO
throw over ones shoulders on a cool an-
tumn or spring aaY, but In the winter,
now the extremes would meet. The arms
would be growing stiff while the neck
and chest were as warm a. toast. Let rs
be gratefu! for the sensible loag one.
One thing which recommends The cane,
especially is the ease with which it can
be put or and on. The large stores are
all as warm as ones home. and II Is q
very dangerous thing to keep On heavy
wraps during long shopping expedition,
grow oyerheated and then walk out into
the cold air which sends such a chill
through YOU One begins TO sneezn
then TO wonder how on earth one got that
horrid cold Ia the lungs or chest. On
this account the heavy cape can be high
IL recommended. It can be easily slipped
off on entering the store and IS easily
put on before leaving it.
just q word about your hat IL y0u
have heayv dress YOU expect to wear
all winter, good plan is TO get hat to
match it exactly IN color, or else get it 70
match the sack or cape which You expect
to wear. In winter especially wear *
Few conspicuous colors as possible on the
street. "Rich. not gaudy, for the apparel
Oft proelaims the man, or woman.
