Capes are having SINE vogue, and
cape-wraps with loose Japanese
sleeves are used for dressy evening
wear. The Innings Of these garments
are often far dant.er than the outside,
being made of white, or pale-tinted
chiffon elaborated with lace insets.

course. there is a warm interlining Of
lambs-wool, eiderdown or bearcloth.
Furs of all kinds are made up into
jackets, short, medium and long. as
well as into full-length coats, and
there is no model that is not followed,
from the plainesu to the most intricate
in design.
AS the season advances, there is a
tendency toward rich and heavy
fabrics for dinner and reception gowns
in place OF the Eauzy, 1lmy materials
that have long held sway. This does
not mean that tulle and chiffon have
lost their vogue.-they are too becom-
ing to be put aside entirely, and are
far more youthful in appearance than
the richer fabrics.-but that more of
the brocades. velvets. silks and satins
viii be seen than have been for some
time. or course these fabrics are only
suitable for matrons. and young girls
viii cling to the more youthful ma
terias Spangled and sequined nets
and gauzes will be very popular, and
chenille embroidery is often used in
connection with metallic and beaded
effects.
An exquisite dinner gown ordered for
a middle-aged woman was Of chenille
! embroidered black Brussels net with
crystal seeding mounted on a lavender
/ silk princess slip. A girdle of crystal
bugles was knotted loosely about the
waist. and a corresponding band fin
( is.ed the oDen neck ana short sleeves.
4 shaded lavender scarf accompanied
this exquisite creation.
For a young matron. a charming
+ dress Of brown-and-gold brocaded vel
vet was originated. The beauty of this
gown was sts absolute plainness of de-
sign, accentuating the richness Of ma
terial. Made in princess style, It con-
/ formed perfectly to tie curves of the
| figure, and fell in long, sweeping folds
/ in q demitrain. The nack closing, in
visibly made with small hooks and
/ eyes, was concealed under the long
ends Of a shaded brown chiffon scarf
which Law in folds about the low round
neck, and was secured at tine centre
! OF the back by diamond crescent. A
roll Of chiffon also served to finish the
I sleeves.
In direct contrast to this rich gown,
yet quite as simple in effect. was a
/ youthfui frock of yellow Byzantine
1 crepe with floral border. An under
dress Of chiffon yelled the silk found
alton over which the dress was made,
giving a cloud-like suggestion. The
/ border of the material was so manipu-
/ lated as to form a finish for the edge

a chou of the same velvet was ar

the base of the V neck.
