Even more important than the our.ia,
is the lining of the evening vrap :,
should be as handsome as ones mrs,
can afford; for it is constantly in evil
dence when the cloak is flung bar
draped over Il chair or carried ON ana
escorts arm. If the outer fabric ie
dark, gay lining will save the wrap
from any suggestion of sOmbernesS. If
the wrap itself is light, the lining can
scarcely be too dainty and delicate. And
the lining, be it remembered, should nj.
ways be chosen with its character of g,
harmonious background for the costume
held strongly in the mind
Extra warmth is given to some of these
long capes by the method of draping one
front over the other. When the vearar is
indoors, the fronts of the cape hang omen
in the usual way, to display the prctf,
fock beneath. Before one steps into the
cold night, the right front of the cane Is
thrown upward to the left shoulder three
button holes near the bottom of the front
being fastened to the three buttons along
the left shoulder seam. This is Il grace
full notion as well as a practical one.
and it will be welcomed by the masculine
escort, who justly feels that the cape in
supplanting the sleeved coat. has de-
prived him of one of his most cherished
privileges-the ''tucking in" of fluffy
sleeves.
The capuchon of earlier has quickly
found favor in this country, and the de-
butante need have no fear of being mn

They are usually made on huge nat

The reproductions of Carriers hoods
made in this country are a little less
