the cost OF her wardrobe beforehand Will
not be forced to ''skimp'' in any direction.

There are two kinds of dressy wraps
the garment which can be worn in the aft
ernoon as well as evening, and the wrap
which Is intended merely for evening wear.
The former bears decidedly the stamp of
the tailor-made. The latter is product Of
the dressmakers art, and in its makeup
runs the gamut of all delicate fabrics and
laces.
Always Suitable.
OF the two the semi-tailored wrap APP
peals most strongly to the average busy
woman Of today. In 1t she never appears
overdressed. while cabs and French maids
are not essential to preserve its pristine
smartness.

heavy shantung and basket weave being
employed frequently with warm interlinings.
When the wrap is shaped from broadcloth
very delicate colorings are what give 1t a
dressy look. and the palest Of blue tints,
pinks In peach and coral, nile green and
cream shades mark the seasons most at
tractiye models. Velvet wraps show bright
colorings. such as royal purple, blue and
red, as we'll as rich browns and green's.
Soft chiffon satins line these garments.
and as the inside Is In evidence both In the
| coat room and at the theater quite as much
as the coat itself. the selection of the lining

material. Delicately colored cloths and silks

perfectly. More somber velvets are light
ened by Innings of white or cream. Cloth
covered buttons trim the simpler coats, and
on more elaborate models mIngIe with hand

One of the elegant features of these new
wraps Is the heavy silver and gold cloth ap.

flowers in softest tirts that blend In with
