! YELLOW FOR EvENING WEAR


Evening wraps are frequently SO
simple that it should be an easy mat
ter for the woman with limited in
come to study the styles and ma
terials and make her own wrap.
Beautiful wrap effects in combina-
tons are obtained with biscuit cloth
and mahogany, apricot, pink and VIC
let, pearl gray 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 fash
Toned of more beautiful stuffs, and
are adorned more artistically with
'embroideries and other trimmings.
They are in burnoose and other or
namental effects, quite voluminous in
style. or are rarely artistically drap-
ed scarfs. One of the latter wraps
recently seen at a smart function
was of a vivid satin, with trimming
of three-inch wide strips of taupe
marabou This combination was
stunning in effect Wraps with won
derful draperies. containing yards
and yards Of goods, resemble the pam
nier draperies and overskirts Of the
costume itself. White wraps and
black wraps may be worn with any
thing, and sometimes strong color
contrasts are introduced in the lin
fngs of these white or. black coats.
Other evening wraps shown are of
light and airy @aterials, equaling in
thinness the gowns themselves and
one wonders where the wearer is go
ing to get any warmth at all out OF
her evening clothes this season.
Others and more sensible wraps
are of velvet, which are again in high
favor. These velvet wraps when
trimmed with Persian trimmings or
jet in its various assortments are
extremely handsome. The lining
chosen with an evening cape has
much to do with the effectiveness of
the garment, and usually contrast
ing color is chosen, harmonizing with
the outer materials.
For the little house gowns foulards
are being used. and the shops are
filled with offerings in polka dots and
kindergarten foulard patterns.
Stripes have begun to appear in
many OF the silk designs and Per-
sian stripes in pompadour effects
will be much used for dinner gowns
in Louis XIV styles.
Yellow shades are favorites for
evening wear. All the prune and
plum shades have revived for the
winter and are particularly smart
when made into evening gowns and
wraps of the soft materials. With
the wonderful offerings in the tex
ture and fabrics, color and color COM
binations, it should not be a difficult
matter for any woman to find some
thing to suit her pocketbook and her
complexion.
An excellent way to set of the
beauty Of real lace, such as fine Irish
or Venetian point is to place under

Of supple white corduroy. The trim
ming consisted of heavy Irish lace, In
an unusual pattern. which formed the
cuffs, deep collar and large false
pockets on either side of the coat,
as well as a pointed piece at the
waist-line in back. The corduroy was
cut out from under the lace and two
