ruche at the neck. Quieter ones have
black ruche at the edge of each cape and
one at the neck.
In lieu Of the cape or the fichu, the fine
Japanese silk shawls in pale colors, finely
embroidered and frihged, are very popu-
lar and very pretty.
Once in a while the summer girl is con-
tent with n boa. A beautiful boa of
fedora lace is often the means of identify
ing another girl at Newport. She never
steps out of an evening without that boa
Some of the girls still wear the black
feather boas, with the tip of other colors
peeping out all around.
But we cannot have the evening with
us always. The day is sure to assert
itself and demand that more stable gar
ments be donned. And what does the
summer girl wear over her gown in the
daytime2
Often nothing at all. Generally, the
inevitable Elton jacket, the fate of us all.

The cape isn't obsolete, after all
The single cape with just short over
rutfle at the neck, is surprisingly Bpreva-

work embroidery, in white, at the edge
of the cape and collarette, A fine shell
of white satin falls from the collarettee
A pretty cape of black satin is worn
by foir Newport matron, and it seems
to be something of a favorite. The satin
is painted, around the bottom, with
sprays of violets in natural shades. A
black cape of net fits closely over the
satin, falling only half so far, and edged
with purple ruche.
