Pruue and Plum shades Are Also
Revived.

From the Boston Herald
Evening wraps arc frequently so simple
that It should be an easy matter for the
woman with a limited income TO study
tho STYLES and materials and make her
own wrap. Beautiful wrap effects in
combinations are obtained with biscuit
cloth and mahogany, apricot pink and
violet. pearl grape and deep blue and
argent. and so on
ones opera cape this season must be
IN an entirely different style from the
coats designed for wear in the daytime
Evening wraps are fashioned OF more
beautiful stuhs. and are adorned moro
artistlcally with embrolderies and other
trimmings They are in burnoose and
other ornamental effects. quite vOluml-
nous in style, or are rarely artistically
draped scarfs One OF the latter wraps

a vivid pink satin. with trimming Of
three-inch wide strips Of taupe marabou.

assortments are extremely handsome. The
lining chosen with an evening cape has
much to do with the effectiveness Of the

material.

offerings in polka dot and Kindergarten
foulard patterns. Stripes have begun to
