Silk Knows No Rival
for Summer Wraps
BY KATHERINE ANDERSON.

Silk weaves hold undisputed sway in
season notable for its coquettish
summer wraps. Along with the quaint
frocks of 1880 and 1860 modes has come
the short wrap-half jacket, half cape,
and altogether frolicsone and frivo-
Gus. 1t is the despair of the woman
who goes in for all things utilitarian
and the joy of the type who would
make eyes at Bedouin captors holding
her for a ransom in Sahara.
1t must be admitted that summer
wraps are f1irtatious in every fold and
frill. There isn't a sensible thing
about them, so the world of men folk
is going to like them and the world
OF women folk to buy them.
Black taffeta seems to be the favor
lite foundation for dark wraps, but it's
identity is carefully yelled with chif-
fon, mousseline, laces and chiffon APP
pliques. 1t is plated back and front
on shoulders, stole and sleeves. And,
bunchy enough, it is swathed in ruch-
ings. pinked and plain.
A black taffeta Eton, which was
surrounded by an admiring circle of
women at a recent opening, was
buried beneath accordion plated chif-
fon. ending in a double ruching of
chiffon A stole effect in point de
Venise was added, and the clasp at
the throat was a clever imitation of
Venetian iron in odd green, set in
rhinestones. The three-quarter sleeves
were of silk, overlaid with plated
chiffon, with half sleeves of finest
and the most enhancing lingerie
flouncing.
An Effective Blouse.
A clearly defined blouse of accord
ion plated glace silk ends in a point
ed girdle of silk laid in stitched folds.
An 1880 yoke effect is secured by a
plated fiounce of the silk running
completely around back and front,
and edging the long shoulder. The
yoke effect is further simulated by a
round collar of cream guipure lace,
with stole ends that reach to the
girdle. The sleeves are very long
and shawlshaped made of solid ac-
Gordon plating. The edge of both
the sleeves and the f1ounce outlining
the yoke is finished with two rows of
narrow ribbon Joined by fagoting.
Still another blouse coat of accord
ion-plaited glace silk has plated
sleeves. which fit snugly into the arm S
eye, blouse loosely just below the
elbow. and then are gathered into a
narrow cuff of plain silk, overlaid with
black gWpure. With this comes a
shawl collar of the plain silk, forming
points front, back and over the
shoulder, and heavily appliqued with
black guipure.
Soft Silks for Jackets.
The loose, full-plaited Jacket with
cape sleeves works out best in soft
silks. The yoke is round, in alter
nate rows of shirrings and heavy lace
galloons or insertion and the yoke is
edged top and bottom, with pinked
ruchings. To this are attached the
plated front and back pieces and full
flowing sleeves, which may be finished
with several rows of stitching or with
ruchings. These cape jackets are
evolved also from colored silks, and in
the case of natural-toned pongee thew
show Persian bands in delicate or
Bulgarian colors, alternating with the
shirrings on the yoke.
For these coats in pongee there is
also fad for long, dropping shoulder

Age Getting Their Fair Share of Fashions FVoes
Ofenthe Whtes Heads Wear Fooishy Gay Hats

In the heyday of her charms every
woman vows that when she gets to be

that time comes, she changes her mind
The truth is" declares a dressmak-

But. Notwithstanding this tendency,
the shops and private makers have al
ways considered the needs of elderly
wearers, and styles now include effects
as we'll suited TO the old as to the
young. These are the gun-metal grays,
the shoulder capes with stole ends,
under sleeves and poke bonnets.
Pnrisinn Novelties in POkes.
The last are Partisan novelties, and
in the larger shapes the pokes may be
worn by maids still in their teens.
Those for women who are no longer
blooming are less eccentric in size and
shape, and are trimmed more staidly,
for the young" pokes are almost the

for old and young, they are made of

But to go back to skirts with mar
row apron cores, and especially those
whose side panels are tapped over
the front, not sewed to it. Such
sorts are called "petticoat skirts" and
are much in vogue for old and young,
though in trained shape they seem
more suited to gray hair and the dig
nifty OF years.
For Handsome Old Ladies.
Some handsome old ladies who have
taken to them for grand dinner wear
carry the same picturesqueness to the
/ bodice, which shows concealing fchus
of soft lace and elbow sleeves billow-
ing with volants of the same. Supple
silks and satins are preferred for
these elegant evening gowns, in sill
very grays, violets and ashes of some
tints, while the hair combs may be
studded with rhinestones.
For dressy day wear. a silk gown
( is also acknowledged to be the cor
rect thing for elderly wearers, and all
the soft silks of the season are used
for such costumes They are fashioned
rather plainly, and frequently show
shoulder capes of the same, trimmed

supplies this necessity with perfect
