Capes Fit tho Shoulders Close and Are
Very High in th> Nedlci Collar.
TAILS DOWN THE BACK-CAPE
Innings ARE VERY HAND
SOME, OFTEN MORE SO THAN
THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAR
NENT-CAPE REVIVAL IN
MANY DESIGNS.

NV YORK, December IA year
ago we all heard the women declaring
that the cape had gone out to come
back no more. 1t concealed the fig
ure and was hideous.
Yet how tickle is woman! The pres
ent cape craze shows this better than
a whole chapter could hope to ex-
pound.
Capes have reappeared, not as they
were, but in variety, the most fash
ionable being cut short in front and
long in the back. tapering to a point
at the middle OF the back.
From a hygienic standpoint the cape
Is poor thing at best. 1t exposes the
chest and lungs and heats the spine.
1t drags down the back and is no pro-
lection to the throat. But from fash
ionable standpoint the cape is Sin"
and we must bow to all the contrary
evidence and accept it as a thing which
is to prevail.
The lhandsemest capes are those that
are made of sealskin lined with an
other kind of fur. The writer has in
mind very elegant cape of thick,
lustrous seal. 1t is lined throughout
with chinchiila and is beautiful, soft,
thick garment Three kinds Of fur
form this cape, the outside fur being
a trimming which borders the cape
and trims it around the shoulders. 1t
is of gray sable.
The newest style Of cape trimming
shows tails in the back. Bands of fur
extend around the yoke of the cape,
ending in punches of tails which hang
from the shoulders to the bottom OF

will, she will next take few flowers
and will arrange them along one side
or under the back Of the toque in such
a way as to supply the missing color.
Lastly, she selects the hatpins, which
must match your prevailing jewelry.
When this is all done she carefully
unpins the toque from your head and
gives it into the hands of a milliIier

your head-made to order for you
and it suits your. style of beauty as
nearly as your milliner can arrange It

resembles melton. 1t is lined with
plain goods.
Grey and brown as a combination
are coming in. The Kafserin's travel
ing gown when she went to Windsor
was of these two colors The brown
must be very rich, royal brown, and
the gray of bright clear shade or
they will not harmonic. Capes in
gray and brown are extremely beauti-
full. A very rich brown gros grain silk
was trimmed with gray chinchilla. The
fur was put on in a broad band around
the collar and around the bottom of
the cape. The shoulders were trim
med with the same fur and down the
back there were tails of gray. The
cape was lined with black satin which
soted as color setting off the out
side.
The sheath cape is one of the new
est fashions DEGREES. 1t is the cane
which Is fitted very closely over the
shoulders. In fact. 1t is cut upon the
dress pattern and fits woman's
shoulders as closely as though 1t were

enough to set we'll over the hips.

most beautiful gowns for the street.

This done, you next sew the two por-
tons together with fine white silk or
cotton, and the pins can be slipped in
between the cards in the way seen in
our Illustration.
All kinds of small pocket pincush-
ions can be made on this principle.
You can take squares. rounds, or OBJ
long pieces of card. cover them with
fancy silk, then sew them together on
quite the same principle.
Pincushions such are these are so fiat,
and take so little room, that they go
quite easily into purse. or even a
mans waistcoat pocket, and are often
found to be most acceptable presents,
for, trifiing as they are. they are very
useful.

Il LITTLE GIFT
FOR THE POCKET.
1t Takes Only the Givsr's Ingenuity
and.a Few Loving Minutes
of Time.

These dainty little pincushions are
very uncommon and pretty. The pin
cushion is about 2 inches by / 1-3
inches, and has on it the design which
makes it look like tiny playing card.
At the stationer's you can get small
cards intended for children made in
exact imitation of ordinary playing
cards.
Take two of the cards and cover
them with white cambria. This can be
done by FASTING over the edge OF the
cambria to the wrong side of the cards.
Do two cards. red one and black
one The diamonds. clubs. or spades
show through the cambria. and you
must next paint with water colors the
exact form on the white stuff.

the cape. The new way Of trimming
with tails is very dressy and is the
very latest thing from Paris.
They are making another style Of
cape which is very unique. The cape
is gathered around the lower edge and
brought up and tied around the waist
like bag. 1t is very warm, but makes
the figure so bulky that it can only be
worn by slender figures.
CAPE MATERIALS.
Double faced goods are also much
used for capes. A dark brown goods
is lined with brilliant plaid, making
a very thick material. Another cloth
is a satin faced goods which greatly

They are of handsome new satin-faced
material and with them are worn the
beautiful new capes. Handsome little
toques Of soft material draped to suit
the couture are worn with the capes.
Did you ever have a hat fitted to
your head. A man will tell you that
it is customary, but a woman will
laugh at the idea Yet that is what
the New York milliners are doing.
When you go into the millinery estab-
lishment of Madame la Mode she will
take frame of wire and will bend ii
and shape it until it fits the crown of
your head. She will give it a turn over
the knot and twist under the pom
padour until it absolutely fits the top
of your head.
FITTING A HAT.
But the fitting is not yet done. After
she has fashioned the wire frame she
will take a big wheel of velvet of the
shade which suits you best and will
fit it to the wire, pinning it and fold
ing it and arranging it in layers until
it sets we'll upon the frame. She will
fold the crown until it lies in regular
outlines and will give it the touch
which stamps the artistic milliner.

supplied with sman dots OF different
color which cover the entire waist. Others
are deliberately embroidered with neur-de-
lis, vines and roses. You can purchase
lovers knots Of coarse applique for trim
ming. these waists. These can be launder-
ed and are therefore very suitable for
wear with a wash waist.
These flannel shirt waists are so beauti-
fully MADE that they come as high as $40
each, though you can get them for 81
They are delightful for winter wear, being
finished with SIX facings. They are rot
pretty for evening, but for daily wear are
most excellent
The taste Of the Christmas shopper runs
toward useful things, and a well known
dealer told me ne was selling shirt waists
for Christmas presents.
