Homemade Evening Cloaks

on her few occasions of mild dissipa-
tion. It is for her that these new fan
cdes In evening cloaks. easily repro
ducible at home, are given here.
Most OF the new cloaks are of chiffon
or net over silk. The silk or satin lin
ing is rather tight, being made in coat
style with semi-fitting sleeves, from
shoulder 20 elbow length. and caught
here and there by bows or bands Of silk
or colored embroidery.
Sometimes there is a plain silk cape
eurplice, like a college gown or choir
boys dress, and the chiffon, this time
closely lined with china silk, flows from
this in graceful lines. The bottom and
the front opening are edged with wide
bands of the moire silk, which is fas-
tened by means Of silk braid frogs. The
sleeves are cut IN false kimono style.

Flower Friezes

A PRETTY English idea lately
~ come to America Is the applica-
- tion Of frieze, consisting OF q
canvas or paper border Of flowers
with the background cut away with
a sharp pair of embroidery scissors,
to the white or green painted walls
of bungalow. The dado or ceiling
border thus formed is very effective
and may be applied to every room In
the cottage, with differently tinted
wall and different choice Of flowers
appropriately distributed for each.
Try It on your summer bungalow.
