Newest In Capes.

The cape has not only had its day
but its years, and the end is not yet,
for never was it more the mode than
at the present moment and never were
its prospects better. Already models
for the fall and early winter are
issued, both in cloth and fur. These
models are not strikingly different
from those we were accustomed to a
year ago. They are all lined with
very handsome silk or satin in a con-
trasting color and more often than
otherwise in brilliant tones. Even

most desirable garment for travelling

Large and PICTURESQUE Combs.

II you want to look picturesque in
your evening gowns this summer
dress your hair high upon your head
, in a soft, yet rather pointed knot.
Then, to hold it firmly IN place, wear
the largest shell or jeweled comb you
possess. The larger the comb and the
more antique in design the better
that is, if you wish to be in fashion.
There are any quantity of these
large combs now displayed in the
.eweiry windows. One, which costs
rather more than the average woman
Gun afford, is made of real tortoise
she'll, with the high top set with al
tErnating rows of diamonds and rubies.
Imagine the effect of this thrust
through dark coils of hair. Other less
expensive combs, which are exceed
ingly effective, are made of dull gold,
ornamented with colored enameling.
Ii you don't wish to buv a comb just
now hunt up the one which your great
grandmolh her wore. 1t is quite sure
to be large enough to answer the pres
ent demands of fashion.

There are no light delicate mater

those that are natty and fresh which

Black silk blouses are also in the race

they are only false fronts and they

The fancy waist illustrated is of cream
crepon and has the ultra novelty in
sleeves, which are shirred to fit closely
over the shoulder and down to the arm,
but puff widely below this shirring
and above the elbow. Between the
puffs of the yoke are straps of royal
blue velvet and cincture of straps of
alternate blue velvet and puffs finish
the waist. About the yoke are two

Notes About Snnshades.

Sunshades are a necessity of the
present time, and something may be
said about them here. 1t is always a
matter of wonder that new things can
be found by which to mark even sun
shades as up to date. This season
there are several distinguishing feat
ures. One of these is two OF three
puffings of chiffon placed round the
shade at regular intervals, much as
the bands of trimming are placed

little bald and purposeless unless
