ON DRAPED ORDER
| ARE EVENING WRAPS
Simple Cape Remains 4
Standby.

| New York, Nov. 22-Evening wraps
are more on the draped coat
order this year than heretofore,
though the more or less simple cape
will remain the standby of many. The
Italian officers cape entirely plain
save for its light, velvet faced, bull
Iion-o rnamented collar, is smart and
simple. The original imported models
are genuine officers capes, seamless,
cut from extremely wide and heavy
kersey. They are costly-since Uncle
Sam obligingly adds go per cent of
| the original cost for entering the
goods. The shops, therefore, have to
sell these at 1925, which price is pro-
| hibtiVe to most of us. But We need
not have a regret over the matter,
since quite as graceful, and softer
and richer capes cut from satiny
broadcloths, are to be had for a frac-
ton of the aforementioned sum- Or,
if one will, one may buy handsome
material and make the cape easily
and quickly at home having some lit
tie tailor cut out and adjust the high
turn collar.
No better evening wrap can be
chosen for the young girl debutante
or in her first season than this same
cape style or a similar one in which
gaily-lined hood is substituted for
the collar Light tones, pink or blue,
are counted best for the youthful
wearer, or she may select the brilliant
scarlet of the Red Riding Hood tales
of her baby days.
Many women will rejoice over the
return of black in evening Wraps-fo'
it is certainly more practical when
woman has not her own carriage OF
evening wraps are handsome and arc
lined heavily enough to afford suffi-
Gent warmth, even in coolest weather
Some ricI brocades in two or more
tones are made up effectively, usually
with fur at neck and sleeve finish
But it is far more practical and evel
more effective, to wear ones hand
some neckpiece with ones evening
wrap. adjusting it in some coquettist
way, throwing one end over the shout

LEADERS among the Republicans, as
we'll as the Democrats, are predicting
that events are tending toward an
extra session of Congress next SUM
mer. They say that if President Taft
doesn't see fit to call such a session
for the consideration of the tariff
schedules the leaders of either of the
two parties may force such a sessi on
by delaying action of the appropria-
tion bills.
The Democrats say that an extra
session for the consideration of the
tariff schedules would be fatal to the
Republicans, since whatever the Dem
ocratic majority in the House might
do would be blocked by the RepuIbh-
can Senate. The Republicans say
that an extra session would be fatal
to the Democrats, on the theory that
at such critical times they always
commit some vital blunder.
If the Democrats believe they can
force an extra session by a filibuster,
the Republicans viii not be very an
cry. They are firmly convinced that
an extra session is the one thing need
ed to insure Republican victory in
1912.
1t is seldom that the two parties
meet on a common ground of this
kind. With each side elieving that an
extra session is the one thing needed
to win the Presidency, it would seem
that there is an even chance that It
will be called The President has
made it clear to his friends that ne
does not intend to play politics in
this matter Even though he were
sure the Democrats would make a
fatal blunder, insuring his own re-
election, Mr.. Taft would scorn such a
method of bringing it about.
While the Republicans are talking
large, it is likely that any move
toward an extra session will come
from the Democrats. The Democratic
party in the eyes of the Republicans,
in an uncertain quantity If the Re-
publicans forced an extra session, the
Democrats might take the hit between
their teeth and gallop away to public
approval The Republicans really have
more to lose than the Democrats,
since their risk is greater.
On this question of an extra session
the leading Democrats are already
comforting. Some say they think it
would be good politics to force an extra
session, even by a filibuster. and then
bring in bill reducing the tariff to
revenue basis. Others say that the
Democrats should express their will
lingDess to act on any special sche1-
ules that President Taft might send
to Congress at a special session.
