but the neglige tea gown-is said this win
ter 20 be Greek; but in truth the classic
suggestion is confined, for the most part,
to the arrangement of plaits on the shoul-

with buckles in the antique style. For the

Easy in Sktllful Hands.
Outside of ornate French models capes
can be made at home easily and with not
a great deal of expense, in spite OF the
cries about the necessity of expensive tr1m-
ming and material. Every cape Is not
made of broadcloth at two dollars a yard,
or silk at three or four, nor are all OF those
shown by even the most exclusive estab-
lishments trimmed with real lace. What
one pays for in capes is the design, the
handsome materials and so on. With
good pattern there is no garment which
can be more successfully fashioned at
home, or which win look less like a home
r.ade affair. There are many materials
which are not very expensive which make
most suitable evening capes and come in
all the colors of the rainbow, with mod

yiceable color, and is fashionable this
