ferred and all materials in vogue for
underwear are appropriate. In the
case of the model the trimming Is

liked and frills OF the material also
are in vogue.

backs, side backs, under arm cores
and back portion of skirt. The front
is fitted by means of double darts, so
making the garment absolutely
smooth fitting and the necessary full
. ness at the back Is provided by the

Fashion In capes.

Short circular capes are all the
fashion right now. Those most in
vogue for early autumn weather are
OF coarse lace; any lace like Cluny,
BRUCE or point Venise is in favor. The
capes vary in length. Sometimes they
fall just to the shoulders, others reach
to the bust line, and still others
touch the waist. In ecru or dyed to
match the color Of the gown they will
be the most fashionable during the
early fall. The smart girl is sure to
contrive many novel ways of adding
to the charm of her cape. She may
fasten it down the front with big,
artistic.looking buttons, or it may
have the effect Of being tied together
with many smart-looking little black
satin bows. If she wishes to more
decidedly change its effect, she will
slip satin messaline or velvet ribbons
through the meshes of the lace at
either side of the front. At the neck
the ribbons are tied In rosettes, and
lnen again a bit further down.

HANDY OIL prouner.

A medicine dropper as an adjunct
to the making of mayonnaise was the
inspiration of a housewife not long
ago. Everyone who ever tried to
make mayonnaise knows the bother of
adding the oil slowly, drop by drop,
until the dressing is thick enough.
This woman experienced the same diff
ficulty and met it with the scent med
icine dropper, which adds the oil
with machine-like regularity and pre-
cision.
