all made after one model; there are

equally effective, and all haring out
around the bottom.

many.
Chine silk enters into the construc-
tion of fancy capes quite n little, and
one novelty in dark shades of purple
and pink has q deep frill OF black
glace below the little cape of lowered
silk, and ruche of silk edged chiffon
finishes both edges. Black satin sash
ribbons arranged down the back and
fastened with fancy buttons outline
the figure very prettily.
Even in silk gowns the jackets are
worn, but they are longer really than
iackets-are, in truth, coats. The
sleeves are one of two extremes, either

so as to come far down over the hand
or else where it is finished in a point,
and has full ruffles Of lace inside. This
fashion makes the hands look small,
but is rather warm for summer
