anu IldVlng a quaint litlIS OuSNAA 4iN'N attached These capes, or very similar ones in few years ago, but were promptly rejected for the fussy theatre coat. But now, let us hope they have come to stay, for they are certainly a relief from the aforementioned coat and they make almost any girl look attrac-
 tive-any slender girl that is' Woe be 1t to her of the avoirdupois who at tempts to year one.
 Nearly all of these Sisters Margaret" capes, as they are called, are made of chiffon broadcloth and lined with white silk, although the lining, even in the hood, might be dispensed with.
 Originally these were introduced by some sisters of charity early in the season. who sold them at some of the very select summer. resorts, and they proved so popular that the order have been duplicated in heavier materials.
 Undoubtedly, they will eventually lose their primal charm, simplicity, and be made up in rich brocades, etc, but un- til then they are quite the prettiest wraps to wear over flmsy mulls and fluffy chiffons.
 If one persists in showing allegiance to the coat, there is nothing better than the long, semi-ftting ones of tussore or Rajah One of the former, which called for much admiration was trim med severely with inch-wide silk braid which covered the seams forming un broken lines, and was lined with flower ed taffeta silk. It was finished so that it might be worn either side out Apropes of this, figured goods of all kinds, and especially figured taffetas, are announced for evenings wraps, not as Things, as last year, but for the gar ments themselves.
 The subject of evening wraps sug- gests return to the bargain sale top ic, for they are all marked down, and almost without exception they are in perfectly correct style for the ap- preaching season. Although fashions in evening wraps change perhaps as frequently as in other articles of dress, almost anything, so 1t be in good taste, goes, and one is not conspicuous if it Is not of the most recent cut, as one would be in an out-of-date frock. There is one feature of the evening coats in which we are glad to note a change, and that is that they are to be made of more stable materials, of broadcloths and stiff silks
 The stiff, heavy silks, the kind which grandmother used ta wear, and which would stand alone,' are coming in in obedience to the new princesse andem- pire modes. These models have box plait, sometimes double box plait, down the center of the front and back, and the girdle is shown only at the sides or left out. The girdle may be desigated by bands of velvet shaped to the figure and fastened underneath the large plait, or by lace or embroi- dery. These new models are very far ing around the bottom, even the box plait almost invariably being wider and allowed to spread.
 The all-white hat, erstwhile So dainty and fetching, Is even thus early begin ming to look a trifle passe, and where once it invested it's Wearer with such a cool, comfortable appearance in ad- dition to It's beauty, 1t will soon appear too cool and trife uncomfortable; and yet one hestitaes to purchase another real summer chapeau. The most satis- factory makeshift Is to freshen the white hat as well as possible and retrim with dark colors. For example, a cream-colored sailor noticed recently had three shades of chiffon in autumn reds wound around the crown an an other mass of it punched under the brim at the back. Two long wired loops of the darkest shade gave the de- sired height.
 Another eonfection worthy of the ad- miration 1t received was large leg horn, caught up after the manner of the prevailing style and trimmed all In brown, with cut-steel ornaments to en. liven 1t. Ostrich feathers were curled around the crown and ostrich tips coled underneath at the side, dropping well over the hair, and this hat will last its owner well into october. Here, again, the bargain enters into calculation, for ten or twelve dollars buys almost any hat now, and even five secures some fetching creations, which with a bit of freshening up will do very nicely for the remainder of the season.
 Leghorns and Panamas are good in- vestments, also the facts, as they may be made up into any desired shape an other year, and are expensive in season.
 For evening wear with the light dress there Is nothing prettier or more suita- ble than these same leghorns or Pana- mas, with their dark chiffon or tulle trimmings, and, for the persent, flow CTS, especially pink roses.-New York Evening Post.
