How sweet must seem the wholesome

Some lovely new capes are shown for
Fall They are rather more than half

to be quite short in front. Thnugn
simply trimmed, they have pleasing
distinction.
Very swell ladies affect gloves of

All high-class gowns have rounded

than ever during the FAN and Winter.
The new varieties are very costly and
