How to Wear II.
Extremely fancy capes-call them
so for want Of better and more des-
criptive title-are among the latest
things in summer wraps. Delightfully."-
frivolous and coquettish-lo looking little
things they are; and very far removed
from the dowdy and matronly garment
that we used to know as dress cape.
The newest ones are usually planned
ensuite with the gown, and In this way
are intended to complete the three
dictates as her latest caprice. In silk,
in linen, and in the lighter woolens-
eolienne, henrietta, and such-they add
Just that last touch that makes the
outdoor toilette a finished picture. La
ces, particularly the heavy and effective
kinds, are used lavishly, and fantastic
frills and fringes are the accepted mode
for trimming the edges. Some Of them
are very cleverly fashioned to admit
of the stimulation Of q sleeve In the
shoulder portion, the fullness most Of
ten being merely tackled together to let
the arm slip through. Some OF the
shorter ones have the line heightened
and built out over the arm, this part
merely lying fiat on the dress sleeve
and there being no presence whatso-
ever of the usual arm covering.
One of the most favored decorations
for the full skirts that are so much In
vogue are round pastilles Of silk or vel
vet, applied with button holing direct
ly to the fabric. The velvet Is usually
of the chiffon variety, while when silk
Is used 1t Is either chameleon or plaid
ed. These round coins or pastiles are
mounted upon canvas or crinoline
When applied with button-holing the
edges are left raw, the foundation cut
in a trifle from the edge;but when
they are to be attached invisibly the
edges are turned under, and the catch
ing stitch is applied from the under
side Of the goods. Graded sizes make
the best impression in this mode, the
larger ones at the edge and the size
diminishes from the hem upwards.

smartest costumes Of the summer fol

assume rigid tailored severity, though
oyertrimming ruins them for their pur-
pose.
In the silk coats, taffeta perhaps
holds precedence, but the soft chiffon
faille, several Of the satin finished sup
pie silks, and the grapes are all well
liked by the cloak makers for evening
wear, while for carriage use taffeta is
at the head Of the silk list. Some OF the
exquisite brocaded silks In one tone
or in delicate flower colorings are uth-
lied for evening coats elaborately
trimmed In lace. and are especially
charming over sheer white frocks OF
one tone frocks in delicate tints.
