Revival Of a Quaint
Shoulder Drapery.

Along with draped bodices, tunic skirts
and dolman sleeves,-revivals of other
days,-comes this quaint little shoulder
scarf, modelled by earlier Of Paris. Its
material IL tobacco brown marquisette
and the trimmings deep brown silk
fringe. 1t Is a charming accessory to
the dressy afternoon costume and may
be developed in any color which harmo-
nizes well with that Of the gown. Brown
harmonizes well with almost any color,
and perhaps this is the reason, aside
from the fact that brown is extremely
fashionable, that the maker choose this
color for his model. About four yards
Of material are required for its making,
which is SO simple that it could be easily
copied from the illustration. The shirred
belt which is visible In the front extends
around the back describing the empire
waistllne, and into this are pleated the
shoulder draperies, the fronts Of which
extend several inches below the knees.
Fringe edges the scarf ends and the arm
drapery. In the center of the back Is
butterfly bow Of brown taffeta, but
the fronts are simply fastened with q
fancy jeweled pin.
An Adaptation From the Old
Time Circular.
An exquisite evening wrap of pearl gray
chiffon velvet, very much on the lines of
the Circular" fashionable outer gar
rent of twenty years ago. The new
model Is much fuller and infinitely more
graceful than the old. Here the cape
which cuts away from the straight fronts
Is pleated over the arms to give the effect
of a draped sleeve, each pleat stitched
fat and trimmed with large crochet but
TONS There is deep yoke Of handsome
white lace and the pointed shoulder cape
and cutaway arm opening is accented
with this same trimming. A fat roll
collar of the velvet Is embroidered in
shades of gray silk and silver threads,
and handsome cord ornaments with long
knotted ends falling below the knees are
set on the fronts at the bustline. The
wrap Is lined with white satin draped
with chiffon of delicate pink shade.
Paris Styles This the "Judiciary
Robe.">
We have had the Japanese kimono and
adaptations of priestly robes of the Ro-
man church, and now comes the "Judi-
ciary," an adaptation of the judges robe,
very simple and artistic wrap appealing
to the taste and fancy Of the ultra fash
ionables. The formation of this garment
is huge square of petunia taffetas bor-
dered with deep band of panne velvet
in the same shade and lined with white
satin. Two sides of the square are SO
draped as to form the beautiful sleeves,
giving the garment the graceful lines OF
the dolman. Around the neck and ex-
tending down to the bustline are three
rows of lnch-wide pleatings of the silk
set one over the other, the top row head
ed with double heavy silk cords which,
knotted below the bustline and finished
with huge tassels, hang almost to the
hem of the costume.
All-EnyelopinE Opera Wrap of
Rose Velvet.
Velvet and its first cousin. velyeteen,
| In the soft chiffon quality of the silk vel
vets and the same rich tones. are finding
extensive use in the winters opera gar
ments. Opera gatherings of fashionably
| dressed women will present scenes Of
| varied colorings, for the colored evening
wrap, in all the light pastel shades, is
! the dernier cri of fashion. Half cape

wrap hanging in long flowing lines from
| shoulders to skirt hem Is cut in cores to
| give the smooth fit over the shoulder
| with the necessary vouminousness about
the feet. Each gore is set of with a
] band of wide novelty braid in self color,
| and the sleeves which are very full and
| kimono-like are banded with the same
| trimming, two large fancy gilt buttons
being set on the braid band trimming the
| underarm seam. A broad yoke-like collar
| is of rose colored coarse flet net with apr
| plications of white Irish crochet and
EARNINGS of deep rose silk. Above this
| portion of the collar is rose satin with
| appliques of the Irish lace. Heavy white
