In Capes
It Is the
Cavalier
Observation-Disclosures


The latest style in capes is called the
''cavalier." 1t can be utilized for either
day or evening wear. One model is OF
pink-striped velvet, with plain cape of
pink watered moire below it. 1t is full in
the back and richly trimmed with ermine.
The pink velvet is striped with black The
designer has sent home for day wear one
of gray cloth, with an overcape of gold
and brown velvet above with a chinchiIla
collar.
Novelties are in the greatest demand as
the season nears its close, and we read that
ssthe real surprises have been bewitching
little collets, although no one expected
anything new or original could come from
that quarter, the fashion of them being in
its second year. The new ones are more
part of the gown-very gay and coouette.
One of these CONNECTIONS, OF which there
were several worn at recent garden par
ties, was a veritable Marie Antoinette OF
changeable blue and straw-color silk, with
two pinked-out bias ruff1es around the
cape and one rufae bordering the long
ends, which were tied in the back.
Another in pink silk, shot with green,
was lovely and much the same model, but
trimmed with pink mousseline de sole
plisse in triple shoulder rutf1es, and double
ones around the long ends"
Blue and white foulard that have been
quite the rage this spring in London have
not excited any enthusiasm here or at
Newport.
Vests of white kid, suede and glace, en-
broidered with steel or silver, are being re-
garded with favor. It is still an undecided
question as to whether fashion leaders
will regard favorably any radical altera-
tions in the plain skirts, but plain fiat
bands of trimming are almost certain to
be EN- ployed, and in London tailor-made
gowns will have mum berless rows of stitch
ing at the hem. On other gowns narrow
braid, velvet or ribbon will be employed.
Paillettes will be as much used as ever,
but the shape and colorings will be more
beautiful than ever.
Shades and colors demand our most
serious consideration, for no matter how
stylish or well made the gown, if its color
emphasizes defects in the complexion or
makes the wearer have a purplish cast,
the dress is failure. French women make
a regular study of what tones suit them
most perfectly, and each season nova
days we have variations, and now l hear

ferred to dark rich blues, green's or shades

this announcement, as at so many stores
the display of purplish and blush tones
during the last week have made me
firmly resolve to carefully avoid them.
Truly beautiful are the newest shades of
cigar brown and deep plnky crimson, IN
which there is to be detected suspicion
of ger anium, and cerise promises to be re-
garded with great favor, and we must be
more caref ul than ever before to have
everything about our toilettes either
match or harmonic perfectly; and this
will not be such serious undertaking as
heretofore. for all the leading houses are
importing the trimming, etc., that blend
with each pattern dress, and almost every
fashionable color can be found in the new
kids. MARCELLA.
